The spatial distribution of crops and farming systems in Africa is determined by the duration of the period during which crop and livestock water requirements are met. The length of growing period (LGP) is normally assessed ...
Soil organic carbon stocks in semi-arid West African drylands: implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation
In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline ...
Advances in knowledge of processes in soil–tree–crop interactions in parkland systems in the West African Sahel: A review
The ‘parklands’ that form the most widespread farming systems in the Sahelian zone of West Africa are
farming systems in which annual crops are grown under scattered trees preserved from the natural
vegetation by farmers ...
