  Thereby, growth models become powerful tools in quantification of tree variables which are helpful for the forest managers take effective decisions on their forests. Forest growth models therefore, provide platforms for forest managers to predict the growth, even without years of experience (Vanclay, 1994, Chaudhuri et al., 1995).

  Community-based Forest Resources Management in Nigeria: Case study of Ngel Nyaki Forest Reserve, Mambilla Plateau, Taraba State, Nigeria

summary:
  Xyridaceae 25 Irvingia gabonensis Irvingiaceae 3.2 Community participation in forest management When Ngel Nyaki forest was to be designated a forest reserve, Yelwa community was relocated to its present location, perhaps one of the very few successful relocation of communities from the forest in Nigeria. It embraces a spectrum of situations ranging from woodlots in areas which are short of wood and other forest products for local needs, through the growing of trees at the farm level to provide cash crops and the processing of forest products at the household, artisan or small industry level to generate income, to the activities of forest dwelling communities” (FAO, 1978).

summary:
  An investigation conducted using fecal analysis of Indian pangolins in four districts of Potohar Plateau, Pakistan by Irshad et al. (2015) found that ants (Camponotus confusion, Camponotus compresses) are the major prey of Indian pangolin in the studied habitat while termites (Odontotermis obesus), bugs, wood fibers and grasses constituted other major components of the diet. Four pangolin species are restricted to Asia; Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla), Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) and Philippine pangolin (Manis culionensis).

  Influence of Agroforestry on Rural Income and Livelihood of Smallholder Farmers in the Semi-Arid Region of Sub Saharan Africa

summary:
  This concurs with other studies which indicated that earning from crops, livestock and trees among agroforestry adopters is often higher owing to the income earned from sales of the crops, livestock and trees from the agroforestry (Neupane and Thapa, 2001; Franzel, 2004; Namwata et al., 2012; Kareem et al., 2016; Kassie, 2018). This study also determined the influence of adoption of agroforestry practices on rural livelihood of smallholder farmers and found that adopters of agroforestry had increased food supply, improved educational attendance and increased energy in the household, which concurs with several studies among agroforestry adopters (Quandt and McCabe 2017; Quandt et al., 2018).
