Author Hilukwa, R ?
Abstract Agricultural practices such as land clearing for subsistence farming are some of the largest disturbances to the natural regeneration of woody plants, important for future forest structure and composition. Farmers of the Mashare constituency in the Kavango East region of Namibia fallow their fields for a period ranging from 1 to 25 years. Regeneration can be expected when crop fields are fallowed. This study aimed to determine the potential of woodlands to recover naturally after deforestation, and the optimal conditions for this recovery on fallow agricultural fields. A seed manual/guide for woody species of north-eastern Namibia in made available as Annex D of the thesis document. ?
