Impacts of Global Climate Change on the Phenology of African Tropical Ecosystems
IMPACTS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE PHENOLOGY OF AFRICAN TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS GABRIELA S. ADAMESCU MSc by Research UNIVERSITY OF YORK Biology October 2016 1 Abstract The climate has been changing at an unprecedented rate, affecting natural systems around the globe. Its impact has been mostly reflected through changes in species’ phenology, which has received extensive attention in the current global-change research, mainly in temperate regions. However, little is known about phenology in African tropical forests. Africa is known to be vulnerable to climate change and filling the gaps is an urgent matter. In this study we assess plant phenology at the individual, site and continental level. We first compare flowering and fruiting events of species shared between multiple sites, accounting for three quantitative indicators, such as frequency, fidelity for conserving a certain frequency and seasonal phase. We complement this analysis by assessing interannual trends of flowering and fruiting frequency and fidelity to their dominant frequency at 11 sites. We complete the bigger picture by analysing flowering and fruiting frequency of African tropical trees at the site and community level. Next, we correlate three climatic indices (ENSO, IOD and NAO) with flowering and fruiting events at the canopy level, at 16 sites. Our results suggest that 30 % of the studied species show plasticity or adaptability to different environments and will most likely be resilient to moderate future climate change. At both site and continental level, we found that annual flowering cycles are dominant, indicating strong seasonality in the case of more than 50% of African tropical species under investigation.

International Master Programme at the Swedish Biodiversity Centre Master’s thesis No. 66 Uppsala 2009 Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda, the case of Parinari curatellifolia. Mawula Richard Supervisor Dr. Jens Weibull CBM MASTER THESES SERIES Mawula R/ Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda CBM Master’s Thesis No. 66 - 1 - Mawula R/ Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda Abstract Indigenous wild fruits and, or underutilised plant species are of high importance for nutrition, beverages, and pharmaceuticals values. They provide invaluable benefits to the entire biosphere: including but not limited to climate regulation in terms of rainfall cycle, oxygen supply and carbon sequestration, and provide fodder to both wild and domestic animal herds. The Mobola plum tree, Parinari curatellifolia Benth. is one such under-utilised species that serves as a key source of household income particularly in rural areas in Uganda. It has versatile usages ranging from medicinal herbs with large food dietary values to the intensive sale of charcoal and wood fuel in urban centres, and construction materials for human settlement. The study objective was to investigate P. curatellifolia’s seed germination to improve its conservation and sustainable utilisation in Uganda. The current research study focused on two major areas of P. curatellifolia regeneration: (1) regeneration in nature, (2) regeneration under laboratory conditions of (a) seed (sexual) regeneration and (b) cuttings (vegetative) regeneration and (c) direct sowing. Previously published results also confirmed difficulties in germinating P. curatellifolia seeds. Hence the need to undertake this research study aimed at understanding best ways to regenerate the species both in nature and laboratory-based conditions.

Bantu Plant Names As Indicators of Linguistic Stratigraphy in the Western Province of Zambia
Bantu Plant Names as Indicators of Linguistic Stratigraphy in the Western Province of Zambia Koen Bostoen Royal Museum for Central Africa Tervuren - Université libre de Bruxelles 1. Introduction and background The present paper is a comparative study of Bantu plant names in a number of languages from the WP of Zambia.1 It is based on fieldwork I undertook, with the kind assistance of the Livingstone Museum, in July-August 2005 in the neighbourhood of two minor towns in the southern part of the WP, i.e. Sioma and Shangombo. I worked with native speakers of Mbunda (K15), Kwamashi (K34), Kwamulonga (K351), Shanjo (K36), Fwe (K402), and Mbwera (L61). The field notes, which I present throughout the paper with the label “Bostoen FN 2005”, are compared to data from closely related or neighbouring languages on the one hand, and on the other hand, to what is known on plant names in terms of common Bantu reconstructions. Map 1 below shows the Bantu languages considered in this paper and their linguistic affiliation according to the current state of knowledge. Data from Khwe, a nearby non-Bantu click language from the Khoe-Kwadi family (Güldemann 2004), are also taken into account for reasons explained further on. 2 This comparative study aims at enhancing our understanding of the language history, which underlies the intricate sociolinguistic picture that characterizes the WP today. The Bantu languages listed above represent only a fraction of the numerous languages to which the WP is home. Contrary to Lozi (K21), the region’s widely used lingua franca with an increasing number of first language speakers, most of these languages are minority languages whose use is geographically localized and functionally restricted and whose number of speakers is declining.

Date i Dedication To my loving mother and siblings, Nikeziwe, Mzee and Phiwe. Thank you for your continual support, tireless faith and confidence in my abilities. ii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD-NRF) scholarship, University of the Witwatersrand Postgraduate Merit Award and Faculty Research Committee. This project would not have been possible without their financial assistance. To my supervisor, Prof S. van Vuuren, I express my deepest gratitude for your invaluable advice, comments and follow up from the beginning to the completion of this work. If it wasn’t for your hard work and dedication in cooperation with your students, it would not have been possible to see this project to completion. To my co-supervisor, Dr D. van Eyk, there are no words enough to describe my gratitude towards you. You have been incredibly patient and supportive in completing the pharmacology part of this project. I truly appreciate your kindness and being a listener during frustrating times.
