A dynamic agriucltural land-use model based on a Markov process and governed by a few simple decision rules is described. Currently, the model is purely conceptual, and was designed with one objective: to investigate the possibility of constructing top-down land-use models based on as few process...

The impacts of climate change spares no one. But the marginalised sectors and regions are projected to be hit the most with their limited capacities and resources to respond to climate change impacts, hence, increasing their vulnerability. A basic and urgent concern therefore is to know varying v...

The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades. The synergies and trade-offs between food security, adaptation, and mitigation objectives are not well studied, however. Comprehensive evalua...

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. We contend that improving the adequacy of mathematica...

The promotion of climate-smart agriculture in different parts of the world requires a clear understanding of its relative suitability, costs and benefits, and the environmental implications of various technological interventions in a local context under current and future climates. Such data are ...

The WISE3.1 database provides a homogenized set of primary profiles soil data relevant for a wide range of environmental studies including assessments of crop production. Soil texture is frequently measured to estimate characteristics related to water holding parameters and plant available water....

This implementation manual is to be used in conjunction with the step-by-step guide, as well as the templates for the debriefing document and the site analysis report. In the first half of 2011, CCAFS will undertake village-level baseline studies at 14 initial CCAFS sites in Eastern Africa, West ...
