Malagasy Mountain Programme aims to attract greater national and international interest in Malagasy mountains as social-ecological systems.
Initiative for orchids conservation and their indicator pollination for assessing mountain ecosystem health in Mandakini catchment, Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya, India
The Mandakini catchment in the Western Himalaya requires urgent orchid conservation due to ecological imbalances, with community efforts focused on boosting ecotourism and improving local livelihoods
Improving green roof design: The crucial role of substrate depth for microclimate and plant composition
Variations in substrate depth can create distinct microclimates on an otherwise homogeneous extensive green roof and enhance taxonomic and structural diversity of the vegetation.
Chemical and Physical Control of Bracken Fern Invasion: Impact on Soil Chemistry on Mulanje Mountain and Nyika Plateau, Malawi
A four-year study explored impact of physical and chemical control methods on soil chemistry and found significant differences in total nitrogen, soil-pH, and organic-carbon, emphasizing the importanc
