Featured in Forest Ecology and Management Journal

I'm really pleased to announce that my article on my scientific research findings regarding the sustainability of the Baobab Tree population has been recently published in the science journal Forest Ecology and Management. 


This journal has a very rigorous selection process and acceptance is based on relevance, whether your article can demonstrate a genuine contribution to scientific knowledge, originality and most importantly has to have a high impact factor in order to be considered for publication. Articles also have to be peer-reviewed by other scientists in your field before it can be accepted.  It took me 3 years to collect the data and around 6 months to write the article (which happens to be the last chapter of my thesis) so having it appear in a journal of this calibre gives my work great credibility and I'm delighted! Click here to link to it: http://buff.ly/12GcyMI

Then one day the wind died away leaving the water smooth as a mirror, and […]
