The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and the Enhancement of Forest Carbon Stocks (REDD+) mechanism promises to address commodity-driven deforestation while encouraging sustainable forest management ...
The study assessed the impact of alterations in land use and land cover, as well as fluctuations in climate patterns, on soil fertility within the cotton-producing area of Côte d'Ivoire. The study entails evaluating how ...
This research focused on the effects of soil salinity and climate variability on rice cultivation and agricultural productivity in the Lower River Region (LRR) and Central River Region South (CRRS) of The Gambia. The ...
Soil erosion is a major land degradation problem in Anambra State, Nigeria. Research attention has focused mainly on gully erosion to the neglect of interrill erosion. Farmers’ response to manage erosion menace is also ...
Climate Variability and Land Use Land Cover Change (LULCC) profoundly
impact ecosystems and livelihoods globally, particularly affecting those with
limited adaptation strategies. Such changes frequently drive migration ...
Wild palms occur in tropical and subtropical regions where people use them for many purposes.
Despite their low diversity in semi-arid and arid areas, they highly contribute to the livelihoods
of local people. Therefore, ...
Understanding ecological processes that drive metacommunity dynamics is essential for elucidating the mechanisms of community assembly and for guiding biodiversity conservation. To this end, the relative influence of local ...
Results of the present study provide relevant social and ecological insights on cocoa agroforestry system in West Africa. In general, cocoa land use tends to have major implication on soil properties due to unstainable ...
Climate change is defined as a change in the weather pattern of a location or region that devastates land, and terrestrial ecosystems and exacerbates human food insecurity. These changes have a significant impact on many ...
