The majority of Africa’s people derive livelihoods from the agricultural sector. However, a rapidly changing climate hinders the continent from realizing its full potential in agriculture. Emerging patterns of climate variability and climate change have raised the level of vulnerability for rural...

Kinyangi, JamesHerrero, Mario T.Omolo, AbisalomSteeg, Jeannette van deThornton, Philip K.[Scoping study on vulnerability to climate change and climate variability in the greater Horn of Africa: Mapping impacts and adaptive capacity]Scoping study on vulnerability to climate change and climate variability in the greater Horn of Africa: Mapping impacts and adaptive capacity

The practical utilization of available modern as well as traditional weather forecasting systems builds herders’ resiliency capacity to climatic shocks. The precision and reliability of the forecasting system determines its creditability and acceptance by the users to be proactive in the decision...

When building soil organic matter (SOM) contents in agricultural production systems, stabilization of both pre-existing as well as added C is important. A laboratory mineralization experiment was conducted over 374 days to evaluate the effect of pre-existing SOM on soil C mineralization after add...

Much of the native forest in the highlands of western Kenya has been converted to agricultural land in order to feed the growing population, and more land is being cleared. In tropical Africa, this land use change results in progressive soil degradation, as the period of cultivation increases. Bo...

We investigated speciation, oxidative state changes, and long- and short-term molecular-level dynamics of organic S after 365 d of aerobic incubation with and without the addition of sugarcane residue using XANES spectroscopy. Soil samples were collected from the upper 15 cm of undisturbed grassl...

The purpose of this brief is to share insights on agriculture and NAPs with national-level decision makers in developing countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), multilateral agencies, UNFCCC negotiators and donors. This brief explores how countries are overcoming the biggest challenges in...
