Headlines AfricaAfrica: Africa's Drylands Need the Right Kind of Support - Listening to the Pastoralists Who Live There: [The Conversation Africa] Africa's drylands are often imagined as vast, empty spaces. Romantic wilderness on the one hand. Zones of hunger, conflict and poverty on the other. Media stories tend to emphasise crises and scarcity, portraying these regions as peripheral and fragile. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TPcmtg #Africa #Drylands #Pastoralists #SupportLocal #EnvironmentalIssues
Sahara Sahel FoodsWhile Arne Victor Garvi's work originally focused on species from all dry regions of the world, the conclusion eventually came that exotic species, whilst degrading the ecosystems, are not any better adapted to the Saharo-Sahelian climate than indigenous ones. He therefore switched to working exclusively with native plants.

Arne Victor Garvi was a visionary and an innovator with a large number of ideas and projects. He was very busy with was his research in the direct seeding method for propagating plants. In dry environments, the nursery plants used to regreen areas had a very low survival rate due to limited root development. So Arne Victor pioneered his own methodology, by doing research on germination, collecting seeds and teaching people good sowing methods.

JuanmaUn poco de autopromoción de lo que ando haciendo ahora. Hace un par de semanas participe (online) en el congreso Conserbio25. Allí, entre otros, presenté un póster de lo último que he estado realizando.
Hablo sobre la idoneidad y efectividad que tuvo la actualización de los paisajes de desertificación del antígup PAND a la más reciente ENLD. Es una semilla de la que espero que salga algún articulillo.

Planetary EcologistDrylands (Biomes 🌍)
Drylands are defined by a scarcity of water. Drylands are zones where precipitation is balanced by evaporation from surfaces and by transpiration by plants. The United Nations Environment Program defines drylands as tropical and temperate areas with an aridity index of less than 0.65. Drylands can be classified into four sub-types: Dry sub-humid lands Semi-arid lands Arid lands Hyper-arid lands Some authorities re...
ReDATA, University of Arizona🌳🌱 Did you know woody plants can reshape soil health in #drylands? A study by Martha Mary Farella, David D. Breshears and Rachel Gallery shows that woody plant cover alone can predict nearly 50% of #soil function changes, including nutrient levels and microbial activity.
