Hypolithic and soil microbial community assembly along an aridity gradient in the Namib Desert por Stomeo, Francesca, Valverde, A., Pointing, S.B., McKay, C.P., Warren-Rhodes, K.A., Tuffin, M.I., Seely, M., Cowan, D.A.

“…Sodium content was also an important environmental factor affecting the composition of both soil and hypolithic microbial communities. Finally, although null models for patterns in microbial communities were not supported by experimental data, the amount of unexplained variation (68–97 %) suggests that stochastic processes also play a role in the assembly of such communities in the Namib Desert.…”

“…Stores of soil organic carbon are critical in the global carbon balance, and national governments must set specific targets to stabilize or ideally increase soil organic carbon stores. Finally the quality of soil information available for policy formulation must be improved – the regional assessments in the State of the World's Soil Resources Report frequently base their evaluations on studies from the 1990s based on observations made in the 1980s or earlier.…”

A triple-hurdle model of small-ruminant production and marketing in the highlands of Ethiopia: Implications for commercial transformation por Gebremedhin, Berhanu, Shiferaw, K., Tegegne, Azage, Hoekstra, Dirk

“…In addition, in areas where small-ruminant production is likely, market access stands out as an important determinant of household market position. Finally, our results show that the small-ruminant sub-sector is price nonresponsive, suggesting that households liquidate their animals in need of cash, not necessarily to maximise profit.…”
