This document summarizes two studies on the effects of shade and landscape composition on coffee pests in East Africa. The first study found that shady plantations at lower altitudes had higher infestations of white stemborer but lower infestations of coffee berry borer. The second study found that the effect of local shade on lacebug populations depended on the amount of tree cover in the surrounding landscape. Overall, the document suggests that while shade-trees may help control some coffee pests, their effects depend on the specific pest, altitude, and landscape context.

Climate change may alter predator-prey balance
Decreased wind speeds caused by climate change may affect predatory instincts of insects. Read more here: http://blog.worldweatheronline.com/2014/11/13/climate-change-may-alter-predator-prey-balance/
Antoniadis colloquium presentation
This document summarizes research on cushion plants in the Hudson Bay Lowlands and their potential role in facilitating other plant and insect species. Cushion plants can provide shade, moderate temperatures and moisture levels, and protect other plants from wind and herbivores. The researcher aims to study whether alpine blueberry cushion plants facilitate other species, including tree seedlings, and whether this facilitation increases under more stressful environmental conditions. Data will be collected on plant diversity, seedling growth, insect visits, temperature, light, moisture and nutrients across sites that vary in elevation and disturbance level. Results will provide insights into how facilitation may help plant communities adapt to global environmental changes.

Session 5.1 strong spatial variability of LUE in coffee agroforestry systems
Session 5.1 strong spatial variability of LUE in coffee agroforestry systemsWorld Agroforestry (ICRAF)
This study found that shade trees increased the light use efficiency (LUE) of coffee plants by 57% despite decreasing available photosynthetically active radiation (aPAR) by 41%. The 3D light and gas exchange model MAESPA found that the increased LUE under shade trees could only be partially explained by the increase in diffuse light, with changes to microclimate also playing a role. Surprisingly, the net primary productivity of coffee resprouts did not differ between light environments, suggesting a nearly total compensation of productivity despite large reductions in aPAR under shade trees. This level of compensation is rarely observed in other studies but may be possible due to coffee's natural shade tolerance.David Lindenmayer_Transforming long-term plot-based research in Australia: LT...
This document discusses a collaborative book project involving 83 environmental professionals that described changes in Australian ecosystems based on long-term research. It included 14 chapters covering nine ecosystems, drawing from 35 core long-term studies. Key findings included detecting increased woodland bird populations and impacts of interventions like grazing control. The book aims to inform natural resource management by documenting ecosystem changes. Future work will maintain long-term sites, curate datasets, succession plan, and conduct new synthesis using long-term data to understand drivers of change across systems over time.
2011 year 8 geography - rainforests - adaptations
Rainforest plants and animals have adapted to the dense, humid conditions. Trees grow buttress roots near the surface to support themselves in the nutrient-rich topsoil. Leaves are larger lower down where sunlight is scarce and smaller at the top of the canopy. Animals live throughout the canopy, where they find food like fruits, nuts, and berries as well as ample space to climb, fly, and swing through the trees.
Deforestation chris zysk
Deforestation involves the clearing of large amounts of trees without replanting, damaging the land. It occurs mainly in tropical rainforests but also other forests. This is a major environmental issue as it reduces biodiversity, affects climate, increases carbon emissions, and removes habitat. Reasons for deforestation include agriculture, grazing land, and logging, though sustainable practices could help mitigate the impacts.
NZIF2016
1) Researchers in New Zealand conducted a study to examine the growth impact of simulated insect defoliation on young Eucalyptus bosistoana trees.
2) The study involved applying different levels of defoliation (control, moderate, severe) to trees in October 2015 and measuring tree height and stem diameter monthly.
3) Five months after defoliation, trees that experienced severe defoliation had significantly smaller stem diameters than control trees, though tree heights were only significantly lower than controls for severe defoliation. Most trees had recovered by March 2016.

Dan Metcalfe_Long-term monitoring of tropical rainforests of eastern Australia
Long-term monitoring of tropical rainforests in eastern Australia has provided key insights into the maintenance of biodiversity, role of natural disturbances, and dynamics of vertebrate populations over decades. This research has informed management of invasive species and climate change scenarios. While only covering 0.2% of Australia, these rainforests harbor significant biodiversity and are culturally important. Ongoing threats include fragmentation, weeds, feral animals, and climate change. Long-term local investment in monitoring is critical to understanding community change over time.

1) A faint glow emitted by plants during photosynthesis called solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence can be detected by spectrometers on satellites and is highly correlated with photosynthesis rates.
2) Researchers conducted a study where they measured chlorophyll fluorescence from a tower-mounted spectrometer in a forest and found it tightly correlated with photosynthesis measurements from the same tower, validating its use as a proxy.
3) Satellite measurements of fluorescence from the GOME-2 satellite also correlated well with the tower measurements, suggesting fluorescence could provide a way to monitor global photosynthesis from space in real-time.
Climate change and pest interaction
This document discusses how climate change can impact crop pest interactions through various factors. It may trigger changes in pest geographical distributions, population growth and cycles. Higher temperatures allow more pest generations per year and warmer winters reduce winter mortality. Changing precipitation patterns can help or harm pests depending on the situation. Rising CO2 increases plant biomass and suitability for foliar pathogens. Climate change disrupts coevolved relationships between pests and natural enemies. The impacts of climate change must be considered from an integrated perspective accounting for interactions between changes in temperature, CO2, precipitation, pathogens, hosts and control methods.
Grade 11 summative feburary 2013-answer
This document contains a summary of a student's exam on environmental systems and societies from February 2013. It includes 4 questions on topics like biomass, net primary productivity, ecosystem structure and function, and human impacts. Question 1 defines biomass and describes methods to estimate total biomass. Question 2 asks about factors influencing biomass and NPP in different biomes. Question 3 defines ecological terms like ecosystem and discusses matter flows. Question 4 examines trophic efficiency and impacts of CFCs, acid deposition, and global warming on NPP.
Light
Light is a limiting factor that varies between ecosystems and affects both plants and animals in different ways. It has direct effects like influencing photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, and plant distribution. Light also has indirect effects through processes like transpiration and respiration. Animals are impacted by changes in light through behaviors such as migration, hibernation, and biological clocks that are synchronized with day-night cycles.

_Jibrin and Abdulhamed BEST published journal 2016
The document examines the ecological vulnerability of Kpashimi forest reserve in Niger State, Nigeria to climate change. It employs the IPCC vulnerability assessment framework of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Survey and participation methods were used with local communities. The results found that the forest reserve has high exposure (index of 0.387) and sensitivity (0.397) to climate impacts like increasing temperature and erratic rainfall patterns. However, its adaptive capacity (0.356) is lower. The overall vulnerability index of 0.012 indicates a moderately vulnerable situation. Therefore, the forest is highly sensitive and exposed to climate change, and ecological thresholds may be exceeded if resilience is undermined.
susceptibility of eucalyptus species and clones to red gum lerp
Glycaspis brimblecombei is a sap-sucking insect that feeds on Eucalypts. The pest is native to Australia. The nymph feeds on eucalypt leaves and secretes honeydew with which they construct a waxy cover (called a lerp) around themselves. This cover is whitish and conical in shape and shelters the insects until the adult stage. The insect is considered a serious pest that causes leaf discoloration, severe leaf drop, twig dieback and some tree mortality on some Eucalyptus species. In October 2016, the red gum lerp psyllid was recorded for the first time in Mbizi forest plantation in Tanzania infesting Eucalyptus camaldulensis and different Eucalyptus clones. A study was conducted to determine the susceptibility of Eucalypt germplasm to the insect pest. Results showed that E. camaldulensis was more infested followed by GC 514, GC 167, GC 584, GC 15, GC 785 clones while GC 940 was the least infested. Eucalyptus grandis was not infested. Stakeholders can be able to use the susceptibility grouping of the Eucalyptus germplasm to determine what to plant in areas of red gum lerp psyllid infestation. Similar research work should be carried in all major host tree growing areas to determine susceptibility groups for the areas.

This study was conducted to assess population structure and threat to the sustainable management of woody species in the various ago-ecosystems in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area (LGA) Katsina State, Nigeria. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used to collect data from 21 randomly demarcated 100m × 100m sample plots. All woody plant species found in the sample plots with stem diameter >2 cm at 20cm above ground, were recorded. Population structure was summarized by diameter classes. For the identification of threats, field and questionnaire surveys were used. A total of 50 questionnaires were distributed at ten questionnaires per ward in five out of the 11 wards in the LGA. The highest numbers (350) of small diameter trees (0.1-1.0cm) were recorded in the agrosilvopastoral system. This was followed by silvopastoral and agrisilviculture systems with 89 and 85, respectively. However, the highest number of large diameter woody tree species was recorded in the silvopastoral system followed by agrosilvopastoral and agrisilviculture systems. The regular reverse J-shaped and fairly regular reverse J-shaped size class distribution observed for agrosilvopastoral and silvopastoral respectively, suggest a recuperating population. Over exploitation, debarking, de-branching, root- digging, leaf harvesting, seed harvesting, poor regeneration, slow rate of growth, wind effect and bush burning were the major threats to sustainable management of woody plant species in the study area. The implications of our findings for sustainable management of woody plant species in the study area are discussed and recommendations made.

Ants play a vital role in various ecological processes in the ecosystem. They are involved in nutrient cycling, soil aeration, seed dispersal, and indicator of habitat condition. The study was conducted to determine the species diversity and functional group composition of ants near the residential area and agro-ecosystem of Mt. Agad-agad, Brgy. Puga-an, Iligan City, Philippines. Ants were collected using baits and hand collecting to sample ants. A total of 4,047 individuals belonging to four subfamilies, 17 genera, and 23 species were documented in the two sampling sites. Species diversity was recorded highest in agro-ecosystem with H’=2.74 and species richness of 3.96. Also, five invasive species, including Paratrechina longicornis was recorded in both sampling sites. The most abundant functional group was Generalized Myrmicinae (36%) near the residential area, while Subordinate Camponotini (29%) in Agro-ecosystem. The result suggests that existing land-use influences species and functional group composition of ants, and the presence of invasive species indicates the magnitude of anthropogenic disturbances in the area.

Deadwood (DW) is an important carbon component for conservation and management of biodiversity resources. They are ubiquitous in many semi-arid ecosystems although its estimation is still posing lots of challenges. At Chimwaga woodland in Dodoma Region of Central Tanzania, seasonal quantification of DW produced by two Acacia spp. was done to evaluate the influence of each tree species, Dbh and canopy area on DW biomass and to determine their ecological role in conservation of semi-arid ecosystem. Both purposive and random sampling techniques were used in the course of a completely randomized design (CRD). Thirty trees from each species of Acacia tortilis and Acacia nilotica were studied. Results portray that DW biomass was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the dry season than in the rain season whereby A. tortilis produced 669.0 ± 135.90kg DM/ha (dry season) and only 74.3 ± 135.90kg DM/ha (rain season) while A. nilotica produced 426.1 ± 135.90kg DM/ha (dry season) and 36.5 ± 135.90kg DM/ha (rain season). DW biomass did not correlate significantly (P > 0.05) with Dbh and canopy area. Inter-specific interactions were encountered from experimental areas where DW was littered that facilitated ecosystem balance in semi-arid areas. This information is important for estimating amount of dead wood biomass required to be retained in the forest provided that, at the expense of ecology, they are refuge for arthropods, fungi, bryophytes and other important soil microbes representing primary components of Biodiversity in semi-arid ecosystems.

This study used multispectral sensors and image analysis to classify land cover types in Bailundo Municipality, Angola. The researchers found that approximately one-third of the area is covered by Miombo forest, with closed Miombo forest representing 7.51% of the area. Agriculture accounted for 37.59% of land cover while forests made up 36.54%. Miombo distribution varied with altitude and rainfall, with most Miombo found at intermediate elevations and rainfall levels. The study provides detailed land cover mapping of the area to classify Miombo forest coverage.

This document summarizes a study on the intensity of cocoa pod rot disease caused by Phytophthora palmivora in smallholder plantations in North Maluku, Indonesia. The study found that disease incidence and intensity varied with altitude, with the highest levels (20.7% incidence, 39.87% intensity) occurring between 186-210 meters above sea level. Disease distribution was found to be even across all observed locations. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in incidence and intensity between altitude ranges, except between 8-15 meters and 18-30 meters.

Pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) has gained important commercial status in Nigeria due to its nutritional, medicinal and health benefits. In recent times, there is a growing preference for pure organic food due to the envisaged health and environmental benefits. Thus, a study was carried out on 12 selected accessions of pawpaw evaluated under three poultry manure (PM) application rates at the Department of Crop Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The field experiment was a split plot in randomized complete block design of three replications. The main plot treatment was three PM application rates (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) and the sub-plot treatment was 12 accessions of pawpaw. Accession Ijm-Cl-Ro significantly (p<0.05) produced the tallest plants (71.7, 87.3, 108.3, 127.4 and 150.0cm) at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 months after transplanting (MAT), respectively. It had the greatest number of fruits (9.3) at 11 months after the onset of fruit formation, maximum fruit weight (7.15kg) and the highest fruit yield (23.83 t ha-1). Increasing PM rate increased growth traits of the pawpaw plants. Interaction of manure rate × accession on most of the growth attributes varied greatly, but showed no significant difference on yield traits. The accession Ijm-Cl-Ro with the application of 10 t ha-1 of PM which produced the best growth and highest fruit yield is recommended for improved productivity of pawpaw. The control plot produced no fruit throughout the study period, suggesting that manure application is crucial for sustained yield of pawpaw in the study area.
Influence of seasonality and eucalyptus plantation types on the abundance and...
This document summarizes a study on the influence of seasonality and different types of Eucalyptus plantations on the abundance and diversity of litter insects in Rwanda. The study found that the order Hymenoptera was generally the most abundant across seasons. Abundance and diversity varied between plantation types and was generally higher in some Eucalyptus species compared to the native Entandrophragma excelsum. Diversity was highest in the dry season and declined in the rainy seasons, indicating heavy rain negatively impacts litter insects. The variability in insects is attributed to changing habitat conditions across seasons and plantation types.

Lantana camara is a highly invasive alien plant species in Gursum woreda, Ethiopia that is negatively impacting biodiversity and land usage. It is widely distributed across grasslands, agricultural lands, and woodlands. The plant dominates native vegetation and reduces crop productivity, woodlands, and forage for animals. Most local residents recognize the disadvantages of L. camara and support its removal, though some experts note it provides some benefits like erosion control. Physical removal methods are mainly used now but strategic long-term management is needed using thinning, pruning and increased awareness to control the invasive spread of Lantana camara.
Effects of Pyriproxyfen...pdf
This study evaluated the effect of pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator, on the development and survival of Anopheles gambiae larvae under forested and deforested conditions in Tanzania. The study found that pyriproxyfen increased larval mortality rates and developmental time and decreased pupation and adult emergence rates more in the forested area compared to the deforested area. The presence of tree canopy cover in the forested area appeared to enhance the efficacy of pyriproxyfen against An. gambiae larvae. The findings suggest that maintaining or increasing forest cover could help improve the effectiveness of larvicides for malaria vector control.
Cover Crops and Living Soil - Lundgren
This document summarizes the benefits of conserving insect diversity in cropland. It finds that insect diversity supports complex food webs and ecosystem functions like pollination, nutrient cycling, and pest control. Studies of corn fields found over 100 insect species, with pests making up only 7% and natural enemies providing significant pest control. Higher predator diversity and abundance was correlated with greater predation on corn rootworm pests. The document advocates increasing crop and habitat diversity through practices like cover cropping to boost beneficial insect populations and biological pest control services in farmland.

This study used multispectral sensors and image analysis to classify land cover types in Bailundo Municipality, Angola. The researchers found that approximately one-third of the area is covered by Miombo forest, with closed Miombo forest representing 7.51% of the area. Agriculture accounted for 37.59% of land cover while forests made up 36.54%. Miombo distribution varied with altitude and rainfall, with most Miombo found at intermediate elevations and rainfall levels. The study provides detailed land cover mapping of the area to classify Miombo forest coverage.

This document summarizes a study on the intensity of cocoa pod rot disease caused by Phytophthora palmivora in smallholder plantations in North Maluku, Indonesia. The study found that disease incidence and intensity varied with altitude, with the highest levels (20.7% incidence, 39.87% intensity) occurring between 186-210 meters above sea level. Disease distribution was found to be even across all observed locations. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in incidence and intensity between altitude ranges, except between 8-15 meters and 18-30 meters.
Growth and yield of 12 accessions of Pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) as influenced ...
Pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) has gained important commercial status in Nigeria due to its nutritional, medicinal and health benefits. In recent times, there is a growing preference for pure organic food due to the envisaged health and environmental benefits. Thus, a study was carried out on 12 selected accessions of pawpaw evaluated under three poultry manure (PM) application rates at the Department of Crop Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The field experiment was a split plot in randomized complete block design of three replications. The main plot treatment was three PM application rates (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) and the sub-plot treatment was 12 accessions of pawpaw. Accession Ijm-Cl-Ro significantly (p<0.05) produced the tallest plants (71.7, 87.3, 108.3, 127.4 and 150.0cm) at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 months after transplanting (MAT), respectively. It had the greatest number of fruits (9.3) at 11 months after the onset of fruit formation, maximum fruit weight (7.15kg) and the highest fruit yield (23.83 t ha-1). Increasing PM rate increased growth traits of the pawpaw plants. Interaction of manure rate × accession on most of the growth attributes varied greatly, but showed no significant difference on yield traits. The accession Ijm-Cl-Ro with the application of 10 t ha-1 of PM which produced the best growth and highest fruit yield is recommended for improved productivity of pawpaw. The control plot produced no fruit throughout the study period, suggesting that manure application is crucial for sustained yield of pawpaw in the study area.

This document summarizes a study on the influence of seasonality and different types of Eucalyptus plantations on the abundance and diversity of litter insects in Rwanda. The study found that the order Hymenoptera was generally the most abundant across seasons. Abundance and diversity varied between plantation types and was generally higher in some Eucalyptus species compared to the native Entandrophragma excelsum. Diversity was highest in the dry season and declined in the rainy seasons, indicating heavy rain negatively impacts litter insects. The variability in insects is attributed to changing habitat conditions across seasons and plantation types.

Lantana camara is a highly invasive alien plant species in Gursum woreda, Ethiopia that is negatively impacting biodiversity and land usage. It is widely distributed across grasslands, agricultural lands, and woodlands. The plant dominates native vegetation and reduces crop productivity, woodlands, and forage for animals. Most local residents recognize the disadvantages of L. camara and support its removal, though some experts note it provides some benefits like erosion control. Physical removal methods are mainly used now but strategic long-term management is needed using thinning, pruning and increased awareness to control the invasive spread of Lantana camara.
Effects of Pyriproxyfen...pdf
This study evaluated the effect of pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator, on the development and survival of Anopheles gambiae larvae under forested and deforested conditions in Tanzania. The study found that pyriproxyfen increased larval mortality rates and developmental time and decreased pupation and adult emergence rates more in the forested area compared to the deforested area. The presence of tree canopy cover in the forested area appeared to enhance the efficacy of pyriproxyfen against An. gambiae larvae. The findings suggest that maintaining or increasing forest cover could help improve the effectiveness of larvicides for malaria vector control.
Cover Crops and Living Soil - Lundgren
This document summarizes the benefits of conserving insect diversity in cropland. It finds that insect diversity supports complex food webs and ecosystem functions like pollination, nutrient cycling, and pest control. Studies of corn fields found over 100 insect species, with pests making up only 7% and natural enemies providing significant pest control. Higher predator diversity and abundance was correlated with greater predation on corn rootworm pests. The document advocates increasing crop and habitat diversity through practices like cover cropping to boost beneficial insect populations and biological pest control services in farmland.

This document provides summaries of several presentations from the "Seminar on Forest and Plant Health" held on March 10th, 2021 at the Natural Resources Institute Finland in Helsinki.
The first presentation discussed using genomic tools to improve wood properties and disease resistance in conifer trees like Norway spruce and Scots pine. The second presentation discussed how nutrient enrichment can destabilize the mycorrhizal relationships in boreal forests. The third presentation compared fungal community analyses using metatranscriptomics and ITS sequencing on Norway spruce.Esd 14
Deforestation is a major threat to global biodiversity. In Madagascar, the rapid deforestation of rainforests due to population growth, cattle ranching, and mining has devastated endemic wildlife, eradicating many species found nowhere else. Similarly, in Malaysia deforestation for palm oil and timber plantations, occurring at one of the highest rates globally, is destroying peatland forests and endangered species' habitats. Deforestation disrupts nutrient cycling, removes tree cover critical for many species, and causes soil erosion and genetic diversity loss, threatening biodiversity. Strong government protection and alternative economic models are needed to curb deforestation and conserve ecosystems in biodiversity hotspots.
Adaptive response problems of subsistence farmers to rainfall
This document summarizes a study on the adaptive response problems faced by subsistence farmers in South-Eastern Nigeria due to changes in annual rainfall patterns. Researchers surveyed 1,279 farmers across 3 states to identify the main problems. A factor analysis identified 6 major problems accounting for 70% of issues. These included lack of climate information, illiteracy and lack of awareness, fertilizer and funding difficulties, poor agricultural and weather extension services, and difficulties accessing official information. The study aimed to determine problems confronting effective adaptive responses to global warming among subsistence farmers in the region.
Sri et al, 2013_weeds management
This study examined the effect of weed management on insect natural enemies in cabbage fields. Two cabbage fields were studied, one where herbicides were used to control weeds, and one where weeds were allowed to grow freely. More insect natural enemies were found in the field without herbicides compared to the field with herbicides. Five species of predatory insects were collected from both fields. Four common weed species were also identified in the field without herbicides that may provide resources like nectar and pollen to support more natural enemies. The results suggest that maintaining some weeds can help enhance natural enemy populations and potentially suppress insect pests in cabbage fields.
Matusso and Faruque, 2015. The Performance of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
This study evaluated the performance of four sesame genotypes (Linde, Alua, Rama, and Nicaragua) under agro-ecological conditions in Angónia District, Mozambique over two growing seasons. Results showed significant differences between genotypes in days to flowering, capsule formation, and maturity. The Nicaragua variety yielded significantly higher than the others with 214.8 kg/ha and 241.4 kg/ha in the respective seasons. While plant height and branching were unaffected by genotype, other growth parameters like time to flowering and capsule formation differed significantly between varieties. Overall, the Nicaragua genotype performed best in terms of yield potential under the conditions tested.
ESD
Human activities like deforestation, pollution, and expanding cities threaten global biodiversity. Deforestation removes habitat and species face extinction as forests hold most of Earth's species diversity. In Malaysia, oil palm plantations expanded by clearing forests, reducing habitat and unique species. Deforestation in Madagascar eliminated habitat rapidly and its unique species cannot be found elsewhere, showing how human impacts can drive species extinction.
