The presence of trace metals in surface water at concentrations above natural standards becomes a situation of increasing concern. Lake Ahémé, the second lake in Southern Benin with an area of floods with a maximum depth of 2.35m did not remain on [...]
The objective of this study was to develop emission factors (EF) for CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation in cattle native to Benin. Information on livestock characteristics and diet practices specific to Benin cattle population were gathered from [...]
