Impacts of pastoralists on woodlands in south Turkana, Kenya: Livestock-mediated tree recruitment by Reid, Robin S., Ellis, J.E.

“…The survival and growth of 14 cohorts of trees ranging in age from 1 to 39 yr were investigated comparing tree stands originating inside livestock corrals with those originating outside. Corral soils contained nine times more C, three times more N, and six times more P than adjacent noncorral soils immediately following corral abandonment. …”

Measure of molecular diversity within the Trypanosoma brucei subspecies Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense as revealed by genotypic characterization by Agbo, E.C., Majiwa, Phelix A.O., Classsen, E.J.H.M., Roos, M.H.

“…Sequencing data from four representatives of each of the two subspecies indicated that the intergenic spacer region had a conserved ITS- l and a variable 5.8S with unique transversions, insertions, or deletions. The ITS-2 regions contained a single repeated element at similar positions in all isolates examined. but not in 2 of the human isolates. …”

Screening forage and browse legumes germplasm to nutrient stresses: IGrowth rates of Sesbania as affected by aluminium and low phosphorus in soils and nutrient solutions by Mugwira, L.M., Haque, I.

“…Growth was also evaluated in nutrient solutions containing 0, 3, and 6 PPm Al in combination with 155 and 6200 PPm On the Soddo soil, the Sesbania varied in their growth rates, but responded similarly to liming the soil from PH 4.8 to 5.6 throughout the growing period. …”

The effect of differing types of cloth and of contamination by non-feed nitrogen on intestinal digestion estimates using porous synthetic-fibre bags in a cow by Varvikko, T., Vanhatalo, A.

“…The influence of free surface area and pore size of a synthetic-fibre bag, and flow of intestinal substances into the bag, on the intestinal digestion estimates by the nylon-bag method of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), nitrogen, NDF-N and feed 15N was studied using a non-lactating cow fed on hay supplemented with barley and oats at maintenance level. The bags containing 15N-labelled ground ryegrass (Lolium perenne), barley, barley straw or rapeseed (Brassica napus) straw were introduced into the duodenum through a T-shaped cannula and collected from the faeces. …”
