Soil nutrient variation impacted by ecological restoration in the different lithological karst area, Shibing, China

Ying Bai et al.

Summary: Investigating the impact of ecological restoration and lithological differences on soil nutrients in karst regions, we found that topsoil is more sensitive to restoration and exhibits significant differences in pH and nutrient content between dolomite and limestone areas. Shrub recovery plays a crucial role in rapid accumulation of soil carbon and nitrogen in dolomite areas following agricultural abandonment.

Livelihood resilience to environmental changes in areas of Kenya and Cameroon: a comparative analysis

Nyong Princely Awazi et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in livelihood resilience between Kenyan and Cameroonian farmers using the same measures, with Cameroonian farmers being relatively more resilient. There was a significant causal relationship between farmers' resilience and livelihood capital assets in both study sites, but the key factors for building resilience differed between Isiolo County, Kenya and Northwestern Cameroon.

Control complexity in Borda elections: Solving all open cases of offline control and some cases of online control

Marc Neveling et al.

Summary: This study focuses on control problems in Borda elections, settling the complexity for all missing cases and highlighting the unique-winner model. The research shows that the complexity of control problems depends on the chosen winner model, as well as exploring online control models in sequential Borda elections, obtaining coNP-hardness results for all types of online voter control.

Agroforestry Practices in Livelihood Improvement in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa

Mulatu Fekadu Zerihun

Summary: Agroforestry plays a significant role in increasing agricultural productivity in South Africa. Monopoly structure in the agricultural economy undermines the development of local markets, where small-scale producers sell to their local community. The study shows that agroforestry practices contribute to sustainable rural livelihoods, but farmers often underestimate their contribution to household income due to technical difficulties in valuation.
