Integrating indigenous knowledge systems into regenerative agriculture for sustainable crop production in southern Africa

Abstract Agricultural production in Southern Africa is increasingly constrained by climate variability, declining soil fertility, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and rising pest pressures, particularly within rain-fed smallholder farming systems. Indigenous Knowledge Systems (...

Photosynthetically Active Radiation Dynamics: Implications for Grassland Productivity, Phenology, Carbon Cycling and Ecosystem Management

Ecosystem functioning depends on an integrated system of environmental factors that are directly or indirectly influenced by photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The objective of this review is to synthesize and analyze grassland productivity dynamics as influenced by PAR a...
