The role of homegardens and forest ecosystems for domestication and conservation of Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd. in the Nuba Mountains, Sudan

2014-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Iterative domestication processes by humans such as selection, translocation and cultivation are known to affect the morphological and genetic diversity of tree species. Since many of these species occur also in human-created homegardens (HG) this type of agroecosystem therefore represents an ideal setting to study such domestication processes. The threatened indigenous fruit tree Ziziphus spina-christi occurs in...
