| This book presents current research in the study of the climate, biodiversity and ecological significance of savannas. Topics include central pivot fertigation for coffee plants in the Brazilian savannah; litter decomposition and nutrient release in the Miombo Savannah woodlands of Central Zimbabwe; enhancing the contributions of indigenous tree species in tackling prevailing environmental challenges in the African savannas; aerial census of elephants and other mammals in the Shimba Hills, Mkongani and Mwaluganje conservation areas of Kwale County, Kenya; aboveground vegetation and soil seed bank dynamics in response to grazing in semi-arid African rangelands; translocation of elephants from Moju-Asako to Meru and Aberdare ecosystems; absorbing root areas and transpiring leaf areas in the tropical forest and savanna boundary in Brazil; zygomycetes from Cerrado areas in Southeast Brazil; and the Guiana shield and French Guiana savannas. |
