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 ...
Mapping soil erosion hotspots and assessing the potential impacts of land management practices in the highlands of Ethiopia
An enormous effort is underway in Ethiopia to address soil erosion and restore overall land productivity.
Modelling and participatory approaches can be used to delineate erosion hotspots, plan site- and context-specific ...
Livelihood type-specific determinants of household’s choices of land use and farm management practices, and crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
The study has found different impacts of socio-ecological factors on cropping, fertilizer use and soil and water conservation practices when analyses are done at whole sample or farm type specific. Household behaviour also ...
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
In Moroccan oases, date palm agricultural operations are mainly
manual and seldom implemented, contributing to palm grove
degradation.
The introduction of small mechanization may reduce
drudgery, encourage/attract youths, ...
Assessment of multifunctional landscapes dynamics in the mountainous basin of the Mo River (Togo, West Africa)
In this study, historical landscape dynamics were investigated to (i) map the land
use/cover types for the years 1972, 1987, 2000 and 2014; (ii) determine the types and processes
of landscape dynamics; and (iii) assess the ...
Analysis of the impact of land management options in tackling land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa: example study based on longterm remote sensing and climate data
Tackling land degradation and restoring degraded landscapes requires information on areas
of priority intervention, since it is not economically and technically possible to manage all
areas affected. Recent developments ...
Template for Standardized Description of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Technologies with a Focus on Field-Landscape Level
This off-line CRP-DS/ICARDA template of SLM technology description is partly adapted from those of WOCAT, however with major modifications and additions. It has six (6) main parts. The information fields that are inherited ...
Impact of Land-use/cover Change on Tree Species Diversity in Dry Forestland in Southeastern Senegal
Given that land use/cover change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, yet this
impact remains poorly quantified. This study aims to estimate the impact of land
use/cover change on tree diversity in the Missirah ...
