Abstract:

Miombo woodlands are tropical savanna formations dominated by genera Brachystegia, Julbernardia and Isoberlinia and are widespread in central and southern Africa. These woodlands are an important resource providing among other things, grazing and browse for livestock and wildlife, medicines for local people, food like mushroom and honey and timber for building and fuel. Understanding the structural and functional characteristics of miombo ecosystems and the factors affecting and controlling production is therefore important, both for their significance in understanding the environment and also

Abstract:

Savannah ecosystems play a prominent role in the global carbon (C) cycle, yet fluxes are poorly quantified, and the key processes regulating vegetation dynamics are uncertain. Insight is particularly deficient in southern Africa’s miombo woodlands, a woody savannah that is home to over 100 million people. This biome is heavily disturbed, with widespread deforestation and degradation associated with agriculture, charcoal and timber extraction, and frequent fires from anthropogenic sources.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the way householders use their woodland and tree resources in the face of physical and socio-economic resource constraints. Its rationale is the belief that the identification of the characteristics that control the supply and demand dynamics of small holders' woodland and tree use will contribute to the understanding of how forestry interventions can more positively influence the way they manage their environment. The study takes the form of a case-study of a smallholder farming community in North Kasungu District, Central Malawi. It uses a range of research meth

Africa’s carbon (C) cycle is one of the least well understood components of the global C cycle. Miombo woodlands are the most common woodland type in southern Africa, but despite their vast extent and importance in the biogeochemical cycles of Africa, their C dynamics are not well understood. This thesis addresses a set of science questions related to miombo woodland C dynamics that cover a range of scales, from the leaf to the landscape. The questions are related to seasonal controls on C uptake at the leaf level, to spatial distributions and scales of variation of C stocks in the landscape,

Miombo is dry deciduous woodland dominated by leguminous tree species, covering a significant area of Africa south of the equator, including large parts of Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This woodland type reaches its driest, most species-poor limit in Zimbabwe. Brachystegia spiciformis and Julbernardia globiflora are the two main dominants of the drier form of miombo.

Abstract:

Africa's miombo woodlands constitute one of the most important dry tropical forests on earth, yet the hydraulic function of these woodlands remains poorly researched. Given the current predictions of increased aridity by the end of this century in the miombo ecoregion, understanding the likely response of miombo woodlands tree species to water stress is crucial in planning adaptation strategies. Predicting the response of miombo woodlands to future climate trends is hampered by a lack of knowledge on the physiology of the common miombo woodlands tree species.

In the savanna woodlands of Southern Africa, locally know as miombo, carbon cycling is poorly quantified and many of the key processes remain obscure.

Also, fire is known to be a key process, with around 50% of the annual global area burned occurring in Africa, but detailed understanding of its ecological effects is lacking.

Miombo woodlands are vast wooded savannas covering 2 million km2 in East and Southern Africa. The main feature of these landscapes with closed but not overly dense canopy is the dominance of Brachystegia, Isoberlina, and Julbernardia legume trees genera. The timing of the onset of such vegetation, mainly understood through pollen fossils remains unclear. Dated molecular phylogeny calibrated with fossils for the aforementioned genera has the potential to provide details regarding the origin of species that nowadays dominate the current woodlands and possibly of miombo vegetation as a whole.

Abstract:

Dans la province du Haut-Katanga, en République démocratique du Congo (RD Congo), une forte pression anthropique est exercée sur la forêt claire (FC, Miombo) par l’agriculture et la demande accrue en charbon de bois, due à la croissance démographique. La restauration de la FC dégradée est devenue essentielle pour renverser cette régression et gérer durablement la FC. L’objectif principal de cette thèse était d’étudier la croissance de semis et le potentieldes champignons mycorhiziens arbusculaires (CMA). Elle avait pour objectifs spécifiques:(i) d’évaluer la croissance et le statut mycorhizien

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Current efforts to address Zimbabwe‘s decade long veld fire crisis has partly been hindered by a lack of financial resources and fire data. This study illustrates the potential of using the MODIS burned area product as an alternative cost- and time-effective method for reconstructing historical fire records in Zimbabwe. Two MODIS burned area products were evaluated, namely the MCD45A1 and WAMIS (Meraka Institute‘s MODIS burned area product). Both products yielded similar levels of accuracy despite the difference in algorithms. H

Abstract:

The savanna woodlands of Southern Africa, colloquially termed the miombo, are poorly described in terms of biodiversity compared to other biomes. They have therefore been underrepresented in the wider understanding of how land use intensification is shaping global biodiversity. Land use change is known to reduce biodiversity and disrupt intactness of ecological communities with consequences for ecosystem functioning, resilience, and services. Miombo woodlands are described as biodiversity hotspots due to a high endemism of species and the presence of megafauna. At the same time, they are also

Abstract:

La compréhension des processus écologiques qui sous-tendent l’assemblage des communautés végétales et la coexistence des espèces est un objectif central en écologie. Ces processus sont potentiellement nombreux et de natures contrastées. Ainsi, la composition d’une communauté de plantes dépend de processus déterministes liés aux conditions environnementales abiotiques (climat, conditions physiques et chimiques du sol, lumière) et d’interactions biotiques complexes, positives (facilitation, symbioses) comme négatives (compétition, prédation, pathogènes). En outre, les communautés sont influencée

Abstract:

Os miomas uterinos são os tumores benignos mais comuns do trato genital feminino, sendo que nas mulheres portadoras, 30% são sintomáticos e exigem alguma forma de tratamento. No presente estudo, foram tratadas 35 pacientes sintomáticas com diagnóstico clínico e ultra-sonográfico de mioma uterino, por meio da embolização dos miomas com partículas de polivinil-álcool associadas à obstrução das artérias uterinas com micromolas fibradas. A avaliação clínica e ecográfica foram inicialmente feitas e o acompanhamento realizado após um, três, seis e doze meses do procedimento. O sucesso técnico foi de

Abstract:

Introduction: The uterine fibroids are the most common benign neoplasm in the female genital tract. However, the prevalence of this disease in the general population is unknown, which justifies this investigation. Objective: To evaluate epidemiological factors associated with uterine myomas, in a setting of a private medical clinic. Methodology: It is presented as a cross-sectional research, drafted with a descriptive and an analytical component. To collect data a routine demographic computerized file was kept for every patient and a pelvic transvaginal or transrectal ultrasonography w
