Measuring the economic impact of climate change on agriculture: a Ricardian analysis of farmlands in Tajikistan
We apply the Ricardian approach to analyse the economic impact of climate change on agriculture using the 2007World Bank
Tajikistan Living Standards Survey. The study analyses data of 2557 farm households in 166 villages ...
Parklands for buffering climate risk and sustaining agricultural production in the Sahel of West Africa
In the Sahelian zone of West Africa, crops grown under a
discontinuous cover of scattered trees dominate many
landscapes and constitute the so-called parklands. These
systems reflect the ecological knowledge of the farmers ...
A Conceptual Flash Flood Early Warning System for Africa, Based on Terrestrial Microwave Links and Flash Flood Guidance
A conceptual flash flood early warning system for developing countries is described. The system uses rainfall intensity data from terrestrial microwave communication links and the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation ...
Analyse de la vulnérabilité de l’oliveraie au changement climatique (CC) dans le gouvernorat de Médenine moyennant un outil SIG
Pour étudier les impacts du CC sur l’oléiculture dans le gouvernorat de Médenine (Tunisie), un modèle
a été développé et qui se base sur le calcul du bilan hydrique en tenant compte de certains paramètres tels que:
orographie, ...

Utilization of Marginal Water and Lands in the Zerafshan Rever Basin as Part of a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
This paper considers how marginal mineralized waters and salt affected soils can contribute to land remediation and create additional nutrition values for livestock and agropastoral communities through cultivation of ...
Crop production under different rainfall and management conditions in agroforestry parkland systems in Burkina Faso: observations and simulation with WaNuLCAS model
Traditional agroforestry parkland systems
in Burkina Faso are under threat due to human
pressure and climate variability and change, requiring
a better understanding for planning of adaptation.
Field experiments were ...
Analysis of long term meteorological trends in the middle and lower Indus Basin of Pakistan—A non-parametric statistical approach
The Indus basin of Pakistan is vulnerable to climate change which would directly affect the livelihoods of poor people engaged in irrigated agriculture. The situation could be worse in middle and lower part of this basin ...
Herbivore Dynamics and Range Contraction in Kajiado County Kenya: Climate and Land Use Changes, Population Pressures, Governance, Policy and Human-wildlife Conflicts
Wildlife populations are declining severely in many protected areas and unprotected pastoral areas of Africa.
Rapid large-scale land use changes, poaching, climate change, rising population pressures, governance, policy, ...
EVOLUTIONARY POPULATIONS: Living gene banks in farmers’ fields
Rapidly increasing on-farm biodiversity is a matter of
urgency in an era of climate change. Farmers often have
limited access to genetic resources. Not only do they need
greater access to the genetic material in research ...
