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 ...
Climate change and resilient dryland systems: experiences of ICRISAT in Asia and Africa
The article reviews and summarizes the climate change mitigation and adaptation work undertaken by ICRISAT. The effects of climate
change are already being experienced in several parts of the world. Even though the effects ...
Balanced and integrated nutrient management for enhanced and economic food production: case study from rainfed semi-arid tropics in India
Soil degradation in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) is mainly responsible for low crop and
water productivity. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan states in India, the soil analyses
of farmers’ fields revealed widespread deficiencies ...
Carbon Sequestration in Indian Soils: Present Status and the Potential
India’s growing self-sufficiency in food production
and food stocks since independence suggest that
soils have the capacity to produce. Therefore, a review of
Indian soils and their capacity to sequester carbon; and ...
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 ...
Effects of burning on soil macrofauna in a savanna-woodland under different experimental fuel load treatments
In West African savanna-woodland, the use of prescribed burning as a management tool has ecological
implications for the soil biota. Yet, the effects of fire on soil inhabiting organisms are poorly understood.
The aim of ...
