Methodological challenges for institutionalizing participatory research and development
Resilience of soils and vegetation subjected to different grazing intensities in a semi-arid rangeland of Kenya
The resilience of rangeland soils and vegetation to different levels of grazing is still poorly understood.

The following treatments were applied to 0.5 hectare plots: 0, 4, 8 and 16 heifers per hectare, hereafter referred to as CL, X, 2X and 4X respectively.

Carcass characteristics of adult sheep and goat breeds in the subhumid and semi-arid zones of Cameroon
Data from slaughter (LWT) and warm carcass (HCWT) weights and dressing-out percentages (CYD%) of 209 Uda (Sahel) and 26 Djallonke sheep and 105 Djallonke goats were analysed by fitting a least-squares fixed-effects model. The model consisted of the effects of breed and sex on LWT and CYD% and the effects of breed, sex and LWT (as covariate) on HCWT for the sheep data.
