Exploring the challenges with soil data in regional land use analysis
Over recent decades, environmentalmodels have gradually replaced traditional, qualitative land evaluation in regional
land use analysis (RLUA). This changed the data requirements as the environmental models require ...

Edifice growth and collapse of the Pliocene Mt. Kenya: Evidence of large scale debris avalanches on a high altitude glaciated volcano
The cyclic growth and destruction of the Late Cenozoic Stratovolcano Mt. Kenya have been reconstructed for its
southeastern segment. At least three major debris avalanche deposits have been reconstructed and dated. The
oldest ...

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 ...
Maize productivity and profitability in Conservation Agriculture systems across agro-ecological regions in Zimbabwe: A review of knowledge and practice
Conservation agriculture (CA) is increasingly promoted in southern Africa as a strategy to improve food
security and reverse soil degradation in the face of climate change. However, the performance of CA
under different ...
Agronomic survey to assess crop yield, controlling factors and management implications: a casestudy of Babati in northern Tanzania
Improved agronomic management is important to reduce yield gaps and enhance
food security in subSaharan
Africa. This study was undertaken to understand
contributing factors to observed yield gaps for maize in farmer fields ...
Responses of phenology, synchrony and fecundity of breeding by African ungulates to interannual variation in rainfall
Context: The timing and synchrony of births are important components of fitness
among ungulates living in seasonal environments.
Aims: We investigated the effects of rainfall variation on interannual variation in the
timing, ...
