Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The invasion of mesquite (Prosopis spp.) has not only changed regional ecosystems, but has also led to livelihood degradation in local communities. The Japanese-Sudanese interdisciplinary research teams developed comprehensive measures to control this invasive species. Hydrologists, plant physiologists, weed scientists, remote-sensing specialists, range managers, agricultural economists, nutrient physiologists, and cultural anthropologists worked together in field surveys at riverbanks, wadi beds, seashores and mountainsides in arid to semi-arid areas of Sudan. The results of the study were applied as a training course on mesquite management and utilization for outreach workers of local state government. The results were immediately presented at an international conference and published in an academic book.
