In vitro Cultivation of Trifolium Alexandrium L. as a Forage Crop for Sustainability of Pastoral Ecosystem
Abstract: Trifolium alexandrium L., commonly known as Berseem or clover, is an important leguminous winter fodder crop. In comparison to other legumes and grasses, clover provides forage with high nutritional value and quality. Hence, introduction of Berseem (clover) in existing pastoral ecosystem can provide value-added forage that can result in an increased level of animal production and simultaneously enhance stocking rates. Tissue culture is a technique through which we are able …

Assessment of the Effects of Invasive Alien Species on Pastoralist’s Communities Livelihood and Coping Mechanism in Yabello Woreda Borena Zone of Oromia Region, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: The existence of invasive alien species (IAS) puts substantial pressures to ecosystems in global scale. As a result, coping mechanisms to halt the effects of invasive alien species has been the major strategy in resource poor country recently. Therefore, the overall objective of this study was to assess the effects of Invasive alien species on pastoralist’s community’s livelihood and coping mechanism in Yabello Woreda Borena Zone of Oromia Region, Southern …

Integrated Remote Sensing Indices for Assessing Pre-Monsoon Water Scarcity Vulnerability in a Semi-Arid Coastal Ecosystem: A Case Study of Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
Abstract: Freshwater availability fundamentally shapes the structure and function of dryland ecosystems, where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for most of the year. Protected areas in semiarid regions face intensifying hydrological stress from climate variability, growing wildlife populations, and resident human communities, yet systematic spatial assessments of water scarcity remain scarce for many critical habitats. The Barda Wildlife Sanctuary in coastal Gujarat, India, has recently become a secondary home for the endangered Asiatic …
