Environmental influences on chorusing patterns in an Australian tropical savanna frog community by Sheryn Brodie, Slade Allen‐Ankins, Lin Schwarzkopf

“…We used long‐duration false‐color spectrograms derived from acoustic indices to detect the nightly chorusing of a community of anurans in a tropical savanna in north Queensland. We described the chorusing patterns of each species over two wet seasons at three breeding sites, and used conditional random forest analysis to investigate the influence of various environmental factors. …”

Resource availability and competition shape pollinator trophic specialization in longleaf pine savannas by Pablo Moreno-García, Johanna E. Freeman, Benjamin Baiser, Joshua W. Campbell, Daijiang Li

“…We used samples collected over an entire flowering season in 24 xeric pine savannas in north-central Florida, USA and evaluated the effects of plant availability and pollinator competitor pool on three aspects of trophic specialization: taxonomic specialization (pollinator selection of plant species), phylogenetic specialization (pollinator selection of plant phylogenetic lineages), and functional specialization (pollinator selection of plant functional traits). …”

Influence of millet varieties on fertilizer application rates and plant spacing in Sudan savanna by Abdulrahman Ibrahim, Mannir Isah Kerau

“…In order to find out how different pearl millet varieties affect fertilizer application rates and plant spacing in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria, two field experiments were carried out in a purely sandy loamy soil environment at the teaching and research farm of the Basic Vocational Agriculture School Tambu-Daura situated at 120 59'34 N, 80 16'58 E, and 549 meters above sea level) in Katsina State, Nigeria in the growing seasons of 2022 and 2023. …”

Spatial Characterization of Woody Species Diversity in Tropical Savannas Using GEDI and Optical Data by Franciel Eduardo Rex, Carlos Alberto Silva, Eben North Broadbent, Ana Paula Dalla Corte, Rodrigo Leite, Andrew Hudak, Caio Hamamura, Hooman Latifi, Jingfeng Xiao, Jeff W. Atkins, Cibele Amaral, Ernandes Macedo da Cunha Neto, Adrian Cardil, Angelica M. Almeyda Zambrano, Veraldo Liesenberg, Jingjing Liang, Danilo Roberti Alves De Almeida, Carine Klauberg

“…Our results suggested that the developed models are valuable tools for assessing species diversity in tropical savanna ecosystems, although each model can be chosen based on the objectives of a given study, the target amount of performance/error, and the availability of data.…”

Consistent patterns of LiDAR-derived measures of savanna vegetation complexity between wet and dry seasons by Zhengyang Wang, Jenia Singh, Andrew B. Davies

“…It is assumed that seasonal variation in vegetation structure is not substantive enough to affect landscape-level correlational analyses, but this assumption has never been explicitly tested in savanna ecosystems. Moreover, phenological differences in vegetation are thought to adversely affect the comparability of LiDAR measurements from different seasons, but these effects have seldom been tested and could depend on data resolution. …”

Effect of plant and animal based compost on the growth and yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) in a Nigeria-derived Savanna by Michael Ati Kekong, Nmadzuru Badeggi Ibrahim

“…Compost 1(cocoa pod husk + moringa leaves + poultry droppings) at the rate of 10 t/ha produced the highest fruit yield (8.6 and 8.8 t/ha), respectively, for the 2020 and 2021 cropped years over the inorganic NPK 20:10:10. ·        The combination of cocoa pod husk, moringa leaf, and poultry droppings in compost at the rate of 10 t/ha is a suitable organic amendment and a substitute for the inorganic NPK fertilizer for the optimum yield of okra in Nigeria-derived savanna.…”
