Following a fire in 2023 at Ankafobe Forest #Madagascar, experimental dense direct sowing of Trema orientale seeds in small holes has resulted in a layer of young trees (up to 2 m tall) protecting soil and providing shade for underplanting of a wider array of native tree species

🐃 What are rangelands and why is it so important for us to understand how they work? As interest in 'nature-based solution' grows globally, evidence about how these dynamic landscapes operate comes from the global north. The assumptions are a mismatch to the histories and changing social, ecological and political contexts of Southern Africa. PLAAS researcher Dr Farai Mtero will be a lead on the @Repair_News project.
