By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

Invasive species pose a tremendous threat to biodiversity across the globe. In Ethiopia,
Prosopis juliflora predominantly occurs in the lowlands and posing a threat to both …

Progress towards combatting land degradation as intended by Sustainable Development
Goal 15.3. 1 will be monitored using three sub-indicators, of which productivity of vegetation …

Grassland degradation and the concomitant loss of soil organic carbon is widespread in
tropical arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Afforestation of degraded grassland …

Understanding the sustainability of social-ecological systems requires quantifying the
relationships between ecosystem service supply and use. However, these relationships, and …

Among the invasive species of plants which are spreading at an alarming rate in the tropical
and sub-tropical regions of the world, Prosopis (Prosopis juliflora) is arguably the most hardy …

Globally, drylands cover large areas, but few models for estimation of biomass are
developed for the relatively complicated tree and shrub structures found in this particular …

Dry Afromontane forests form the largest part of the existing natural vegetation in Ethiopia.
Nevertheless, models for quantifying aboveground tree biomass (AGB) of these forests are …

Accurate biomass estimation is critical to quantify the changes in biomass and carbon stocks
following the restoration of degraded landscapes. However, there is lack of site-specific …

Despite the importance of South Africa's Afromontane grasslands for ecosystem services
