High-density molecular characterisation and association mapping in Ethiopian durum wheat landraces reveals high diversity and potential for wheat breeding
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78098
Abstract
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) improvement and adaptation to emerging environmental and climatic threats is hampered by the limited amount of allelic variation included in its elite breeding pool. It is therefore a priority to identify adaptive traits by…

Understanding the roles of forests and tree-based systems in food provision
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68083
Abstract
Forests and other tree-based systems such as agroforestry contribute to food and nutritional security in myriad ways. Directly, trees provide a variety of healthy foods including fruits, leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and edible oils that can diversify diets and address seasonal food and nutritional gaps. Forests are also sources of a wider range…

Abstract
We propose the development of a certification scheme for forest ecosystem restoration that aims for
the adoption of protocols and guidelines to ensure the sustained ecological and social value of restored
ecosystems. Despite an accumulation of experience on ecosystem restoration over the past decades, it
is still common to measure the success of restoration…
