Soil nutrient balance, economic performance and scenarios for closing nutrient gaps in heterogeneous smallholder farm systems in south-western Burkina Faso
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers widespread nutrient mining, raising the problem of insustainable intensification. Understanding the relationship among soil nutrient balance, intensification and farm’s economic performance can ...
Sustainable Intensification: Concept and Challenges from Systems Perspective
This presentation conceptualizes transition pathways toward sustainable Intensification of small-holder agricultural livelihood systems, the need and challenges of integrated systems models as decision support tools for ...
Inter‐annual Declines of Terrestrial Net Primary Production and Carbon Use Efficiency: Global Patterns and Hotspots over 2000 ‐ 2014
Terrestrial net primary production (NPP) generates products of biological origin, on which much of other ecosystem services depend. The primary production provides a basis for food production, biogeochemical cycles, carbon ...
Economics of Land Degradation Initiative: Report for the Private Sector
With around one third of the world’s arable land
degraded, estimated annual losses of 6.3 to 10.6
USD trillion, and a projected need to increase food
production from land by 70 per cent by 2050, we
simply cannot afford to ...
The extent and cost of land degradation
Book chapter
Steps in integrated systems analysis - A non-exhausted guideline.
This non-exhausted manual summarizes main steps in integrated systems analysis: (1) problem analysis and system boundary definition, (2) system structural analysis, (3) system functional analysis (including feedback loops ...
Dryland Systems Annual Report 2015
The CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems is
a global agricultural research partnership to realize
the potential of dryland communities. The program
brings together eight CGIAR centers, and numerous
international, ...
Concepts and Methods of Global Assessment of the Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement
The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) initiative seeks to develop a
science basis for policy actions to address land degradation. The purpose of this
chapter is to provide with a conceptual framework and sound and ...
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 ...
