Keijsers, J.G.S.Schoorl, J.M.Chang, K.T.Chiang, S.H.Claessens, LievenVeldkamp, A.[Calibration and resolution effects on model performance for predicting shallow landslide locations in Taiwan.]Calibration and resolution effects on model performance for predicting shallow landslide locations in Taiwan.

Climate variability and change mitigation and adaptation policies need to prioritize land users needs at local level because it is at this level that impact is felt most. In order to address the challenge of socio-economic and unique regional geographical setting, a customized methodological fram...


Adimo, A.O.Njoroge, J.B.Claessens, LievenWamocho, L.S.[Land use and climate change adaptation strategies in Kenya.]Land use and climate change adaptation strategies in Kenya.

What are the key factors that contribute to household-level food security? What lessons can we learn from food secure households? What agricultural options and management strategies are likely to benefit female-headed households in particular? This paper addresses these questions using a unique d...

Mali is a Sahelian country with a large climatic contrast from North to South. The current climatic and production evolutionary study is focused on the six major agro-climatic cereal production zones ranging from Kayes (400 mm) to Sikasso (>1000 mm) of rainfalls. Climatic data are rainfall record...

Wart, Justin vanGrassini, PatricioYang, HaishunClaessens, LievenJarvis, AndyCassman, Kenneth G.[Creating long-term weather data from thin air for crop simulation modeling]Creating long-term weather data from thin air for crop simulation modeling

Soil data requirements and soil data acquisition tools and techniques have changed over recent decades. In general, soil scientists can: i) collect new data in the field and ignore the data that are available, ii) rely entirely on legacy soil data or iii) combine available legacy data with new da...


Hendriks, C.M.J.Stoorvogel, J.J.Lutz, F.Claessens, Lieven[When can legacy soil data be used, and when should new data be collected instead?]When can legacy soil data be used, and when should new data be collected instead?

The debate on whether climate change will impact on peoples’ livelihoods and, hence, the need to act is essentially over and has instead shifted to the development of strategies needed by different regions and countries to adapt to climate change effects. However, there is still scanty informatio...


Bagamba, F.Bashaasha, B.Claessens, LievenAntle, John M.[Assessing climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for smallholder agricultural systems in Uganda]Assessing climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for smallholder agricultural systems in Uganda

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is being advocated to enhance soil health and sustain long term crop productivity in the developing world. One of CA's key principles is the maintenance of soil cover often by retaining a proportion of crop residues on the field as mulch. Yet smallholder crop–livesto...

A soil carbon assessment was performed comparing agricultural cropping systems with natural vegetation along a sampling transect spanning different agro-ecologies on the eastern foot slopes of Mount Kenya in Embu county, 125 km from Nairobi, Kenya. The aim was to determine differences in soil car...
