Junge, B.Abaidoo, R.C.Chikoye, D.Stahr, Karl[Soil conservation in Nigeria: past and present on station and on farm initiatives]Soil conservation in Nigeria: past and present on station and on farm initiatives

The sustainable use of the soil resource requires extensive knowledge about its genesis, morphology, and properties. Consequently, soil data are basis for improved land use management and soil conservation. The present study illustrates morphology and physical, chemical and mineralogical properti...


Junge, B.Skowronek, A.[Genesis, properties, classification and assessment of soils in Central Benin, West Africa]Genesis, properties, classification and assessment of soils in Central Benin, West Africa

Soil erosion is a serious problem in the forest-savanna transition zone or derived savanna of West Africa and Nigeria and needs to be reduced to maintain soil quality and to ensure food security. In 2007, the use of the fallout radionuclide 137Cs as a tracer for estimating the magnitude of medium...


Junge, B.Mabit, L.Dercon, G.Walling, D.E.Abaidoo, R.C.Chikoye, D.Stahr, Karl[First use of the 137Cs techniques in Nigeria for estimating mediumterm soil redistribution rates on cultivated farmland]First use of the 137Cs techniques in Nigeria for estimating mediumterm soil redistribution rates on cultivated farmland

In Nigeria, West Africa, soil degradation has been one of the most critical environmental problems for along time. Hence, there has been and still is an urgent need to develop effective soil resource managementsystems that can reverse the trend. Sustaining soil productivity will enhance food secu...

The growing population and the increasing food demand in sub-Saharan Africa require comprehensive land use intensification. Land scarcity and soil degradation are some consequences that necessitate enhanced land use management by using remote sensing data. This study presents the analyses of aeri...

Historical and recent aerial photograph and satellite images were analysed to study the change of land use/land cover and soil degradation in different agroecological zones of Nigeria and Benin. The sites were characterized by an expansion of farmland at the expense of forest and shrub, fallow an...

Soil conservation has a long tradition in West Africa and various on-farm and off-farm soil conservation technologies already exist. An extensive literature review has shown that mulching, crop management and conservation tillage are adequate measures for combating soil degradative processes such...
