In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), effective brucellosis control is limited, in part, by the lack of long-term commitments by governments to control the disease and the absence of reliable national human and livestock population-based ...
Do afroalpine plants differ from other alpine plants by their leaf functional traits?
(UoEm, 2023-06-16)
Afroalpine plants develop under specific climate with great daily fluctuations and
weak seasonal dynamics of temperature. Do leaf functional traits of the plants
in Mt. Kenya differ from those of temperate plants in ...
