Impact of Land-use/cover Change on Tree Species Diversity in Dry Forestland in Southeastern Senegal
Given that land use/cover change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, yet this
impact remains poorly quantified. This study aims to estimate the impact of land
use/cover change on tree diversity in the Missirah ...

Bringing experts judgments and local knowledge into yield gap assessments: The Sub-Saharan Africa potato case
Potato farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) produce on average 12 % of the potential yield and 24 Mg ha-1 less than yields obtained in experimental stations as evidenced by this study, that implemented an innovative ...
Overgrazing decreases soil organic carbon stocks the most under dry climates and low soil pH: A meta-analysis shows
Grasslands occupy about 40% of the world’s land surface and store approximately 10% of the global soil
organic carbon (SOC) stock. This SOC pool, in which a larger proportion is held in the topsoil (0–0.3 m), is
strongly ...
