Potential storages and drivers of soil organic carbon and total nitrogenacross river basin landscape: The case of Mo river basin (Togo) inWest Africa
Quantification of carbon and nitrogen in soils in relation to ecological, landform and management factors
over river basins is essential to understand landscape ecosystem functions and efforts to manage land
restoration ...
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 ...
Farming household types and their characterization in complex crop-livestock smallholder agricultural systems for contextual analysis and extension intervention: case of Riviridzi Catchment in Ntcheu
Typology of farming units (households and farms) is deemed essential for targeted research and development programs. We employ the sustainable livelihood framework to collect integrated dataset for household, landscape and ...
Integrated production functions for main crop fields in Pontieba, south-western Burkina Faso: Empirical estimations for efficiency assessment and further integrated modelling
Understanding efficiencies of the uses of major inputs for smallholder cropping systems such as labour and fertilizer under heterogeneous site conditions are important for sustainable intensification management and policy. ...
Rural Livelihood, Biodiversity and Carbon Stock in Vietnam Mountains: Agent-Based Modeling to Anticipate Trade-Offs
Assessment of future multiple ecosystem services driven by alternative land-use policies is
useful for supporting decisions about what and where to invest for the best overall environmental and
developmental outcomes. The ...
Agricultural livelihood types and type-specific drivers of production diversification: an evidence from Karauzyak, Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan
In presence of climatic variability and risks involved in agricultural production for rural
people in Aral Sea region, current research extends the sustainable livelihoods framework to
investigate the factors that discriminate ...
Agricultural systems dynamics framework for the Ntcheu-Changara Transect
Most of the background material and initial frameworks for the present work have been extracted from the discussions among CGIAR sister institutions, implementing partners and stakeholders during the systems and meta-analysis ...
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 ...

indexed by ISI), 8 books, 17 book chapters, several working papers (134), datasets (62),
proceedings (61) and various other publications ...
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 ...
