Abstract:
Bush burning, whether the result of a wildfire or a controlled burn, has been shown to affect not only the appearance of the landscape, but the quality of the soil as well. Uncontrolled bush fires impact the soil in a variety of ways with the magnitude of the disturbance largely dependent upon the fire intensity, duration and recurrence, fuel load, and soil characteristics. The impact on soil properties is intricate, yielding different results based on these factors. Whereas burning off the vegetation during land clearing for cultivation is a common farming practice among farmers in many parts

Abstract A study was carried out in an Abies religiosa Kunth Schltdl. et Cham forest of the community of San Antonio Tecocomulco Tres Cabezas, Municipality of Singuilucan, Hidalgo, to evaluate the resprouting ability of laurel (Litsea glaucescens Kunth) in response to controlled burning treatments and removal of entire stems. The number of laurel bushes, shoots, and mean plant height were evaluated, and three treatments were applied: controlled surface burn; all sprouts cut from the base; and control treatment. Nine weeks after the treatments were applied, the plants in the stem removal treatm

Land degradation is a global problem that has adversely affected agriculture. The Guinea Savannah ecological zone is one of the regions experiencing large-scale land degradation in Nigeria. Because of the important role agriculture plays in the economy of Nigeria, this study therefore examines smallholder farmers’ perception of drivers of land degradation and its impact on their livelihoods in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja; an area within the Guinea savannah ecological zone.

Understanding people’s practices, knowledge and perceptions of the use of fire and fire regimes can inform fire management plans that could contribute to savanna conservation and sustainable management. We investigated the frequency of fire use, control and perceptions of fire regimes for selected livelihood and socio-cultural activities in six districts in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. The six districts were selected to have a good representation of fire prone areas in the region based on fire frequency data obtained from the CSIR Meraka Institute, South Africa.

Selective weed control in ornamental plant production can be difficult as many herbicides can cause unacceptable injury. Research was conducted to evaluate the tolerance of several ornamental species to applications of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicides for the control of problematic weeds in ornamental production.

Abstract:
Bush burning for land clearing is prevalent among small-holder farmers in Nigeria.  Though an age-long practice, few empirical studies have documented its impact on soil physical properties. This study investigated the effects of controlled bush burning on selected soil physical and chemical properties over two distinct cropping seasons. Three treatments consisting of two fire intensities (burning at 200°C and 400°C) and a control with each treatment replicated four times were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design. The temperature was measured with an infrared thermometer.

Soil is used in agriculture as an anchor and primary nutrient base for plants, and the types of soil and available moisture determine the species of plants that can be cultivated. Bush burning, whether as result of a wildfire or a controlled burning, affects not only the appearance of the landscape, but the quality of the soil. Bush burning method of land clearing is a traditional farming system used as a means of land clearing for crop production. This method of land clearing has both beneficial and detrimental effects on soil physical and chemical properties. Therefore, this study investigat

Uganda continues to experience high-refugee population influx that is beyond the established settlement capacities. The large and protract influx of migration and displaced persons in various hosting regions in Uganda is said to have brought about severe and continuous disappearance of vegetation cover in the host country leading to climate change related issues and their irreversible effects. In places where resources are already stretched thin, friction between refugees and host-community nationals has emerged over land usage, access to employment and government services, and environmental d

Abstract:
Controlled grazing is a useful tool to manage and control fuel in the bush and reduce the risk of forest fires. In Castilla-La Mancha, an eminently agrarian region with a vast forest area, forest management of fuels has traditionally been carried out by crushing or burning waste in piles. Recently, this work is beginning to be carried out through prescribed burning. In recent years, experimental efforts have also been made to reintroduce controlled grazing to eliminate forest fuels through continuous browsing of forest vegetation in fire defense areas, previously carried out through preventive
