Methodological Abilities of Integrated Models to Support Agricultural Landscape Resilience: Current Status and Research Perspectives
It is important to increase the resilience of rural landscapes in the face of global changes. It
is widely recognized that integrated modeling is often a methodological choice to study landscape
resilience because the task ...
Farm type-specific determinants of crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
Closing the yield gap among the communities is seen as the step towards alleviating food insecurity and poverty. The casual effects of the actual yields observed in the study area shows that pooled analyses across farm ...
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 ...
Simulation of Soil Erosion to Support Sustainable Land Management in the Mo River Basin (Togo, West Africa)
This paper examines possible management pathways to address soil erosion issues due to
improper land management and landform patterns. Therefore, a landscape management and
planning tool (LAMPT), a spatially explicit model ...
Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
The extent and cost of land degradation
Book chapter
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Gender Strategy
The Gender Strategy of the CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems sets out the challenges and targets for including gender aspects and addressing gender issues as a core activity and outcome of the Program. The Strategy's ...
