Onyechere A.U.*, Ukabiala M. E., Amanze C. T., Onyechere I. C
Assessment of spatial variability of soil is a key component to sustainable food production. Soil sampling is being threaten by the insecurity ravaging the African nations. The combination of both the conventional analytical method and geostatistical method were used to analyse the variability of some soil properties in three state of the Southeastern Nigeria. A total of 18 profile pits were dug a
Analyzing the Effects of Fuel-wood use on Forest Degradation and Carbon Loss, and Future Policies for Sustainable Energy Utilization in the War-Affected Areas of Ethiopia
Kassa Teka*, Yemane Welday
The armed conflict in Tigray/Ethiopia has resulted in a total dependence of residents on the scarce forest resources for energy use. Hence, in this study, we monitored fuel-wood transported to three major towns for two seasons and seven consecutive days. The study results showed that fuel-wood transported from the natural forest to each of the studied towns during the war was 16,055 ton per year,
