Contrasting water management techniques in Tunisia: Towards sustainable agricultural use (2003)
Journal Article

Tunisia is a marginal country hydrologically and it has adopted a number of distinctive methods of water management for agriculture. The central region supports modern dam irrigation, whilst traditional rainwater harvesting is practiced in the south....

Area, shape and isolation of tropical forest fragments: Effects on tree species diversity and implications for conservation (2003)
Journal Article

Aim: To quantify the influences of forest area, shape and isolation on tree species diversity in Ghana and to compare their significance with the influences of climate (average annual rainfall) and disturbance (fire burn, logging, agriculture). Locat... Read More about Area, shape and isolation of tropical forest fragments: Effects on tree species diversity and implications for conservation.
