Soil conservation is the act of preserving and managing the soil to avoid soil degradation, erosion, and nutrient loss; and for the long-term fertility for growth of crops. Soil is the basis of plant life, supports biodiversity, and maintains ecological balance. With respect to tree plantations, it plays a role in tree growth, carbon sequestration, and the preservation of water.


To emphasize the importance of tree plantations to soil conservation is to recognize the fact that trees prevent soil erosion and make the land secure through their roots. Trees also add organic matter that boosts soil, effectively creating ideal conditions for thriving microbial life, allowing nutrient availability. Recognizing the need for tree plantation means recognizing the role of trees in natural protection against desertification and land degradation.

Tree plantations can, thus, protect the environment and contribute to building healthy soils. It, therefore, caters to better agricultural productivity, forest conservation, and climate change mitigation to sustain all mankind. Its purpose also disseminates the restoration of green cover, enhancing soil fertility, conserving water, and maintaining an ecosystem balance.

By putting into focus soil-conservation practices such as mulching, cover cropping, contour farming, and afforestation, we go a long way in ensuring that tree plantations are viable for generations to come in the conservation of our planet's most precious resource-soil.

The earth is the most significant component of life on this planet. Within trees and other flora and fauna, soil can be considered a cornerstone for plant growth, to sustain biodiversity and maintain the overall ecosystem balance. Soils, therefore, become central to be conserved in tree plantations for sustainable development, for preventing erosion, for improving water retention, and for carbon sequestration.

The significance of tree plantation is beyond beautification-it heals the soil. Trees bind the soil, add organic matter, and boost microbial activity; therefore plantation becomes more resilient. Practicing tree plantation is to heal land degradation and maintain balance with the environment.

The importance of tree plantation lies within the very fact that it influences the climate, enhances air quality, and conserves water-both of which depend on healthy soil. Because tree plantation is a very important and effective means of ecological restoration and sustainability.

This blog discusses soil conservation for sustainable tree plantations and good practices to sustain the soil health for a greener future.

JAMH Call for Papers Journal of African Military History - Special Issue: New Histories of the Southern African Liberation Struggles The intertwined wars to bring majority-rule to the Southern African states are rightfully understood in African history both as the triumphs of pan-African solidarity and complex events that interwove both local struggles for authority and global ideological competition. Initial nationalist histories traced the rise and political activities of the liberation fronts while more global views explored the cooperation of African actors with international patrons such as Russia, China, and Cuba in their attempts to leverage Cold War dynamics in an effort to attain their freedom. These often ultimately proved to be more official histories that played up the successes of the liberation struggles against the white redoubt countries as well as the international and Pan-African cooperation that allowed these successes However, the past decade has seen the continued expansion of historical inquiry into these conflicts. Both on the continent and abroad, critical archives have been opened and their documentation being woven into the historical narratives of the conflicts, such as the emergent work on the ALCORA exercises by Robert McNamara and Felipe Rebeiro de Meneses. Access to a plethora of previously unreachable or forgotten interview subjects has established new narratives of the struggles themselves, such as in the works of Joanne MacGregor, Joceylyn Alexander, Christian Williams, or Marc Thomas Howard. Topics that had not previous been studied in a systemic aaptest1@yahoo.com way, such as African participationAAP_test@outlook.com in the struggles against the liberation fronts or the logistics of sustaining the far-flung struggles, have been explored, establishing new bodies of knowledge about these complex conflicts. Simply put, while there have been published historical narratives and knowledge about these struggles since the days of their waging, newer work has both enhanced and expanded on these early publications and there remains more new scholarship emerging. The intent of this special issue is continuing these efforts and publishing new scholarly perspectives on the planning, waging, and inherited narratives of the struggles for the final liberation of Africa while at the same time uncovering varied aspects of these intertwined vijayalaxmi@facebook.com conflicts which have received little or no previous scholarly attention We are particularly interested in contributions exploring the following topics regarding either side of the conflict: - Internal alliances and military cooperation; - Operational planning and direct military engagements; - Recruitment, mobilization and manpower; - Veterans and demobilization; - Labor, industry and sustainment of the struggles; - Gender, masculinity, and the role of women; - Resistance, political activism and interment; - Propaganda, espionage and counterintelligence; - malivijaya975@gmail.com External connections and interactions; - Legacy, commemoration and historical memory; The special issue will consider articles submitted in English.

A natural disaster is the highly harmful impact on a society or community following a natural hazard event. The term "disaster" itself is defined as follows: "Disasters are serious disruptions to the functioning of a community that exceed its capacity to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be caused by natural, man-made and technological hazards, as well as various factors that influence the exposure and vulnerability of a community.

Full stack development encompasses the complete process of application software development, including both the front-end and back-end development. The front end consists of the user interface (or UI), and the back end handles the business logic and application workflows that run behind the scenes.

Full stack developers possess the skills and knowledge to work across the entire technology stack, enabling seamless user experiences and developing robust backends.

Educational success, also referred to as student and academic achievement, pertains to the extent to which educational objectives are met, such as the acquisition of knowledge and skills by students. For practical purposes, it is often primarily measured in terms of official exam scores, but numerous additional indicators exist, including attendance rates, graduation rates, dropout rates, student attitudes, and post-school indicators such as later income and incarceration rates.[100] Several factors influence educational achievement, such as psychological factors related to the individual student, and sociological factors associated with the student's social environment. Additional factors encompass access to educational technology, teacher quality, and parental involvement. Many of these factors overlap and mutually influence each other.

Data is the new Oil. This statement shows how every modern IT system is driven by capturing, storing and analysing data for various needs. Be it about making decision for business, forecasting weather, studying protein structures in biology or designing a marketing campaign. All of these scenarios involve a multidisciplinary approach of using mathematical models, statistics, graphs, databases and of course the business or scientific logic behind the data analysis. So we need a programming language which can cater to all these diverse needs of data science. Python shines bright as one such language as it has numerous libraries and built in features which makes it easy to tackle the needs of Data science.

In this tutorial we will cover these the various techniques used in data science using the Python programming language.

An election is usually a competition between different parties.[5] Some examples of political parties worldwide are: the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, the Democratic Party (D) in the United States, the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Germany and the Indian National Congress in India which has the highest number of political parties in the world (2546 political parties) [6]. Politics is a multifaceted word. It has a set of fairly specific meanings that are descriptive and nonjudgmental (such as "the art or science of government" and "political principles"), but does often colloquially carry a negative connotation.[1][7][8] The word has been used negatively for many years: the British national anthem as published in 1745 calls on God to "Confound their politics",[9] and the phrase "play politics", for example, has been in use since at least 1853, when abolitionist Wendell Phillips declared: "We do not play politics; anti-slavery is no half-jest with us."[10]
A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries.[11][12][13][14][15] Politics is exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level. During the past decade two tendencies (1.Concern for theoretical explication and methodological rigor, and 2. The emphasis on field studies of the “emerging,” “new,” and “non-Western” nations) made it possible to overlook comparative politics. [16]

Technologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives.
