Carbon sequestration and biodiversity of re-growing miombo woodlands in MozambiqueBackgroundThis study aims to determine how slash-and-burn agriculture impacts soil and vegetation carbon (C) stocks and biodiversity on an area of miombo woodland in Mozambique. The study hypothesized that C stocks in vegetation and soils of abandoned agricultural plots (machambas) would be lower than in woodland plots and that C stocks would accumulate more rapidly after abandonment in vegetation than in soils.

Assessment of causes that contribute to the occurrence of plantations forests fires in Niassa Province, North of MozambiqueBACKGROUNDThe government of Mozambique started to promote exotic forest plantations (pine & eucalyptus) because of low natural forest productivity, population growth and land use pressure. Niassa province was one of the provinces for this plantation program. However, fires in these commercial plantations have brought an enormous risk for companies, yet these companies provide the greatest source of employment for the local people.

Acid Mine Drainage from Gold Mining in South Africa: Remediation, Reuse, and Resource RecoveryBACKGROUND:Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is a persistent issue in South Africa, stemming from both active and defunct mines. It generates from waste materials, leading to severe environmental consequences such as water pollution and ecosystem disruption. The acidic and metal-rich nature of AMD poses significant environmental hazards if not properly managed. Open access copy available |
