In Sub-Saharan Africa, the recurring erratic and uneven rainfall distribution has resulted in low crop yields, income losses, and low food stock. In response to these climate change challenges, farmers have recourse to several coping strategies to survive. This present paper explores farmers’ per...

Perceived Climate Variability and Farm Level Adaptation in the Central River Region of The Gambia
Most current approaches to landscape scale ecosystem service assessments rely on detailed secondary data. This type of data is seldom available in regions with high levels of poverty and strong local dependence on provisioning ecosystem services for livelihoods. We develop a method to extrapolate...

In The Gambia, climate change has affected, and continues to affect, the agriculture sector. Thus, there is a need to develop and understand effective agricultural adaptation policies. The present study used protection motivation theory to describe farmers’ adoption of climate change adaptation m...

Can Protection Motivation Theory Explain Farmers’ Adaptation to Climate Change Decision Making in The Gambia?
In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline data that impede the design of site-appropriate recommended management practi...

Soil organic carbon stocks in semi-arid West African drylands: implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation
West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to
a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in
rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services
and agr...
