Role of climate change awareness in sustainable soil nutrient management by smallholder farms in Burkina Faso
Climate change effects are threats to the livelihood of Sub-Saharan smallholder farms. Farmers’
response and readiness to take adaptive measures depend on how they perceive (perception) and
moreover understand and recognize ...
Agent-based modeling of complex social–ecological feedback loops to assess multi-dimensional trade-offs in dryland ecosystem services
Context: Recent conceptual developments in ecosystem services research have revealed the need to elucidate the complex and unintended relationships between humans and the environment if we are to better understand and ...
Land use change and ecosystem services in mountainous watersheds: Predicting the consequences of environmental policies with cellular automata and hydrological modeling
Integrated model systems that simulate land use and land cover change (LUCC) and associated changes of ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly important for supporting policies and management decisions. However, only few ...
New dryland development paradigm grounded in empirical analysis of dryland systems science
Global drylands face a host of urgent human and environmental challenges with far‐reaching impacts. Improving smallholder agriculture remains a key development pathway to tackle these challenges. The dryland development ...
Livelihood heterogeneity in shaping smallholder farms' nutrient management and efficiency: the case of Ioba Province, Burkina Faso in West Africa
Low food productivity and inefficient nutrient management remain the main interrelated problems of sub-Saharan African smallholder farming systems. Understanding the problems is framed by the varying livelihood conditions ...
How to successfully publish interdisciplinary research: learning from an Ecology and Society Special Feature
What are the factors that hinder or support publishing interdisciplinary research? What does a successful
interdisciplinary publishing process look like? We address these questions by analyzing the publishing process of ...
Representation of decision-making in European agricultural agent-based models
The use of agent-based modelling approaches in ex-post and ex-ante evaluations of agricultural policies has been progressively increasing over the last few years. There are now a sufficient number of models that it is worth ...
