    • Vegetation dynamics patterns, biodiversity conservation and structure of forest ecosystems in the wildlife reserve of Togodo in Togo, West Africa 

      Adjonou, K.; Kémavo, A.; Fontodji, J. K.; Tchani, W.; Sodjinou, F.; Sebastià, Ma. T.; Kokutse, A. D.; Kokou, K. (International Journal Development Research, 2017-08)
      The importance of protected areas in providing ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is recognised all over the world by numerous authors. The study aimed to establish a diagnosis of the dynamics of the land use ...

    • Una visión actual del control de malas hierbas en cultivos extensivos 

      Taberner Palou, Andreu (Eumedia, 2008)
      En los cultivos extensivos el control de las malas hierbas es un aspecto de gran importancia para obtener la máxima producción posible y facilitar su manejo y cosecha. Sin embargo, en la actualidad hay una demanda ...
