The dataset tells about the evolution, spread and community changes in plant pathogens, which are a major component of ecosystems and are a potential threat to food security.... -
NTFP-substitutes of wild woody food species in two study villages (in study s...
Non-timber forest product (NTFP)-providing plant species contribute significantly to local livelihoods in West African savannas. The shortfall of NTFPs can therefore severely... -
