Assessment of benefits and risks of growing Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) as a biofuel crop in sub-Saharan Africa: a contribution to agronomic and socio-economic policies
Kashe, Keotshephile; Kgathi, Donald L.; Murray-Hudson, Mike; Mfundisi, Kelebogile (Springer Link, https://link.springer.com, 2017-07-17)In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the main goals behind the development of a biofuel industry are employment creation and income generation. Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has emerged as a candidate for biodiesel production. It ... -
Assessment of diversity and composition of tree species in residential areas of Chobe District, Northern Botswana
Kashe, Keotshephile; Teketay, Demel; Mmusi, Mmusi; Kemosedile, Thebe; Galelebalwe, Meleko Khululo (Agriculture and Forestry; http://www.agricultforest.ac.me/, 2022-02-21)A vegetation survey was conducted in Chobe district to document tree species in residential areas. The survey resulted in 44 tree species, representing 44 genera and 22 families across the nine study villages. The diversity ... -
Disaggregating hydroperiod: components of the seasonal flood pulse as drivers of plant species disribution in floodplains of a tropical wetland
Murray-Hudson, Michael; Wolski, Piotr; Murray-Hudson, Frances; Brown, Mark T.; Kashe, Keotshephile (Springer Link, http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13157-014-0554-x#, 2014-06-22)Wetland hydroperiod consists of different components, including frequency, duration and depth. A significant proportion of the seasonally flood-pulsed Okavango Delta is inundated for part of each year. Variation in ... -
Evaluation of maize yield in flood recession farming in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
Kashe, Keotshephile; Mogobe, Oarabile; Morake, Thebeetsile; Murray-Hudson, Mike (Academic Jornals, http://www.academicjournals.org, 2015-04-09)Flood recession farming locally known as molapo farming in the Okavango Delta is practiced along the edges of the river channels or seasonally flooded depressions on its fringes. It relies on residual moisture and natural ... -
Invasiveness of biofuel crops: implications for energy research and policy in Botswana
Kashe, Keotshephile (Taylor and Francis group; https://www.tandfonline.com, 2020-04-07)In developed countries, biofuel development was largely driven by a desire to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing energy security, whereas in developing countries, in addition to energy security, the quest ... -
The population structure of riparian tree species in the Okavango Delta, Botswana: 50 years of independence and conservation
Tsheboeng, Gaolathe; Murray-Hudson, Michael; Kashe, Keotshephile (Botswana Notes and Records; http://journals.ub.bw/index.php/bnr/, 2017-07-05)Riparian woodlands in the Okavango Delta play a significant role of removing salts from surface water through transpiration. This function renders surface water healthy to drink by wildlife and the people. Despite their ... -
Species richness, diversity, density and spatial distribution of soil seed banks in the riparian woodland along the Thamalakane River of the Okavango Delta, northern Botswana
Mmusi, Mmusi; Tsheboeng, Gaolathe; Teketay, Demel; Murray-Hudson, Michael; Kashe, Keotshephile; Madome, Joseph (Elservier, https://www.elsevier.com, 2021-12)Soil seed banks serve as reservoirs of seeds for subsequent regeneration of plants. Soil seed banks were investigated along the Thamalakane Riparian Woodlands (hereafter referred to as TRWs) of the Okavango Delta, northern ... -
