Rangelands occupy 25% of the total land surface globally. In Africa, rangelands are estimated to cover 66% of the land surface, although there are variations from country to country. In Eastern Africa, for example, land surface coverage of rangeland areas varies from 44% in Uganda and 65% in Ethi...
Soil erosion is a serious threat of increasing dimensions and tends to blunt efforts to counter global population growth with increased and sustainable agricultural production. Especially the tropics are vulnerable because of the circumstantial convergence of intense climatic regimes, frequently ...
