Burström, Annika. "Have the Tsetse Clearings in the Babati District, Tanzania, Influenced the Spread of Agriculture Land?" Thesis, Södertörn University College, School of Life Sciences, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-2665.
Full textThe clearing of woodland to eradicate the tsetse fly in the Babati district, Tanzania, was a governmental initiative. The clearings were mainly carried out in the mid 20th century and managed to reduce the tsetse fly by a great amount. The clearings opened up remote areas and made it possible to access areas that had previously been unavailable for humans. The clearing also had an enormous impact on the environment. This is a case study on five different areas in the Babati district that have all been subjected to tsetse clearings. The studied areas are Bonga, Kiru Erri Kiru Valley, Magugu and Mamire.
The fieldwork consisted of semi-structured interviews and transect walks. The purpose was to study if the clearings have had any influence over the spreading of agriculture land that were not cultivated before and to inquire into the most significant environmental impact that the clearings had.
Different outcome in agriculture land spreading due to the clearings could be seen in the five studied areas. In Bonga and Kiru Valley no agriculture started after the clearings, but in Kiru Erri, Magugu and Mamire some of cleared land is nowadays used for agriculture. The result of the fieldwork indicates that the clearings have had noticeable influence over the spreading of agriculture land but there were also other important driving forces. These were increase in population, land degradation, land shortages and the politic agenda. The most important negative environmental impact due to the clearings was erosion.

Full textStudying an ecological phenomenon require to consider it in its entirety in order to apprehend all the causes and consequences. In the Plain of La Crau, a sub-steppic ecosystem in southeastern France, habitat fragmentation, loss of biodiversity and land-uses changes have fostered the encroachment by a species of brambles Rubus ulmifolius Schott of the original steppic patches. Using a multiscale analysis, the aims of the thesis are to highlight the main drivers, to assess the consequences on the plant community and to test restoration techniques by evaluating their effects on plant community and on bramble population. The presence of high proportions of irrigated habitats and formely fallows around invaded plots correspond to the largest cover rates of brambles. At community scale, water infiltrations have also a great impact on the steppe plant community by favoring the dynamic of an herbaceous competitor species: Brachypodium phoenicoïdes (L.) Roem. & Schult. Among the different disturbance regimes tested (scrub-clearing and / or grazing), crossed with the presence or the absence of sol draining, none could restore in the short-term (3 years), the integrity of the steppe reference. A significant increase in species richness and diversity was only measured for drained, scrub-cleared and annually grazed plots. At bramble population scale, the effects of the different treatments change depending on the year, the season and the time of the day. However, disturbance regimes (clearing and / or grazing) have more impact on eco-physiological and morphological traits of the bramble than the water resources limitation. Our results highlight the difficulty controlling short-term dynamics of an invasive species. They question the objectives of conservation and / or restoration of plots which can then be considered as degraded ecosystems or as "novel ecosystems" whose potential patrimonial values are still unknown

Full textOs serviços de limpeza de terreno estão rapidamente a ganhar popularidade, principalmente devido a requisitos legais impostos a donos de terrenos, que têm como objetivo a prevenção de eventuais fogos florestais. Estes serviços de limpeza são tradicionalmente feitos com recurso a maquinaria ou produtos químicos, o que acaba por ser um processo custoso e com impacto no ambiente. Uma solução alternativa é um processo que não é uma novidade por si só - o uso de animais de pastagem para a remoção das espécies vegetais indesejáveis. Esta é uma alternativa com um custo monetário e ambiental reduzido. Para aumentar a eficiência deste processo, o projeto SheepIT foi criado, e trouxe a possibilidade de exercer um melhor controlo sobre os animais através do uso de aparelhos eletrónicos, que simultaneamente permitem uma coleção de dados importantes. Esta dissertação acresce ao trabalho desenvolvido no projeto SheepIT, e tem como objetivo tornar-se uma ponte entre donos de terrenos que tencionam pagar por serviços de limpeza de terreno, e donos de rebanhos que atuam como prestadores desse serviço e estão à procura de clientes. O objetivo final é criar uma plataforma onde os utilizadores possam publicitar as suas intenções, contratualizar serviços de pastagem, e gerir os mesmos. A tecnologia blockchain é então usada para garantir a proveniência e integridade de dados importantes que passam pelo sistema, com o intuito de fomentar confiança entre os utilizadores da plataforma
