A study to quantify soil respiration (SR) across predominant land-uses in the Vea catchment, a semi-arid Savannah ecosystem of Ghana, was carried out using the closed static chamber method and CO2 transmitter (GMD 20, ...

Staple food crops are considered as the driving force for household food security and source of livelihood activities for many developing nations. Farming practices face many challenges due to the adverse impacts of climate ...

This study investigated the scenario-based impacts of land-use landcover change and climate change on water resources of the Dano Catchment, in the Volta basin. Combining remote sensing images, field investigation, and ...

Stabilising the global temperature within the predicted 2°C rise, it is necessary to provide accurate information to policymakers on the current state, temporal and spatial changes of CO2 emission from land use and land ...

Following the decades of dramatic droughts that started in the 1960s, Burkina Faso started implementing Soil and Water Conservation in 1960s (SWC) measures to combat desertification. The implementation of SWC measures ...

This dissertation is framed as a retrospective research concept that analysed and monitored land use change to assess the impacts of urbanization on climate in cities. Multi-source datasets such as remote sensing images, ...

This study modelled the socioeconomic drivers and the actual land use and land cover (LULC) changes, with special reference to vegetation cover and local climate variability and change, in the peri-urban Bosomtwe District ...

Assessing vegetation dynamics is relevant for ensuring sustainable development especially in regions where natural vegetation is altered by anthropogenic land use and rainfall variability. This is particularly crucial in ...

An estimated 23.5 % of global land area is affected by land degradation and this has resulted in 1 to 2.3 million hectares of agricultural land becoming unsuitable for cultivation. Situated in the Sudano-Sahelian zone, ...

An increased production of cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) in the forest-savanna transition zone of Côte d’Ivoire calls for an understanding of the biophysical, ecological as well as climate change implications that may ...
