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 ...
Maize and Livestock Production Efficiencies and Their Drivers in Heterogeneous Smallholder Systems in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Smallholder farms produce most of the food in the sub-Saharan African drylands, which are still facing a critical food shortage due to low productivity and a growing population. Given the poverty level, which limits ...

Estimating soil erosion in sub-Saharan Africa based on landscape similarity mapping
Soil erosion is one of the major forms of land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with serious impact on agricultural productivity. Due to the absence of reliable data at appropriate resolution and differences in the ...
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 ...
Biophysical and anthropogenous determinants of landscape patterns and degradation of plant communities in Mo hilly basin (Togo)
In mountainous areas, biophysical settings and human disturbances strongly influence landscape pat-terns and dynamics requiring a permanent understanding of their combined influence. In this study, we investigated the ...
Linking farm and soil nutrient balances with economic performance of main agricultural livelihood system types in a semi-arid region of Burkina Faso
Providing sufficient food to increasing populations in SubSaharan
Africa without undermining agro-ecosystems is a growing
challenge. Addressing this challenge requires developing an array of
sustainable soil nutrient ...
