Item Effects of Climate Smart Agricultural practices and Planting Dates on Maize Growth and Nutrient Uptake in Semi-Arid Tanzania(International Journal of Biosciences) Gamba, Abiud; Kimaro, Anthony; Mtei, KelvinItem Effects of salt making on growth and stocking of mangrove forests of south western Indian ocean coast in Tanzania(Mediterranean Journal of Biosciences) Liingilie, Abdala Salum; Kilawe, Charles; Kimaro, Anthony; Rubanza, Chripinus; Jonas, ElvisItem Effects of salt making on growth and stocking of mangrove forests of south western Indian ocean coast in Tanzania(Mediterranean Journal of Biosciences, 2015) Liingilie, Abdala Salum; Kilawe, Charles; Kimaro, Anthony; Rubanza, Chripinus; Jonas, ElvisSustainability of mangrove forest is threatened by the ongoing high extent of degradation due to salt extraction. Information is lacking on the impact of degradation on growth and stocking of the mangrove forests in the tropical region including Tanzania. A study was carried out to identify destructive activities due to salt production and their effects on growth and stocking of mangrove species in Lindi municipality along the southern coast of the western Indian Ocean coast in Tanzania. Semi-structured interviews were randomly administered among 123 randomly selected salt pan owners and salt workers to identify the activities involved in salt making. Effects of salt making activities on growth and stocking of mangrove species were assessed using a transect walk. Results revealed that the most involved activities in salt production were construction of ocean water reservoirs (21.14%), salt pans (35.8%) and salt pans pathways construction (15.45%), salt storage area (14.63%) and huts construction (13.1%). Mangrove basal area and stocking were lower in areas with salt making activities with 0.74 m2/ha and 110 m 2 /ha respectively compared to areas without salt making activities (4.1m2/ha) and (266 m 2 /ha). We can conclude that salt making poses threat on the sustainability of mangrove forestry ecosystem.Item Expert-based ex-ante assessments of potential social, ecological, and economic impacts of upgrading strategies for improving food security in rural Tanzania using the ScalA-FS approach(Springer) Graef, Frieder; Uckert, Götz; Schindler, Jana; König, Hannes Jochen; Mbwana, Hadijah A.; Fasse, Anja; Mwinuka, Lutengano; Mahoo, Henry; Kaburire, Laurent N.; Saidia, Paul; Yustas, Yusto Mugisha; Silayo, Valerian; Makoko, Bashir; Kissoly, Luitfred; Lambert, Christine; Kimaro, Anthony; Sieber, Stefan; Hoffmann, Harry; Kahimba, Frederick C.; Mutabazi, Khamaldin D.Item Simulated willingness of farmers to adopt fertilizer micro-dosing and rainwater harvesting technologies in semi-arid and sub-humid farming systems in Tanzania(Springer) Mwinuka, Lutengano; Mutabazi, Khamaldin Daud; Graef, Frieder; Sieber, Stefan; Makindara, Jeremia; Kimaro, Anthony; Uckert, Götz
