Vågen, Tor-GunnarWinowiecki, Leigh A.Tondoh, Jérôme E.Tamene, LulsegedGumbricht, Thomas[Mapping of soil properties and land degradation risk in Africa using MODIS reflectance]Mapping of soil properties and land degradation risk in Africa using MODIS reflectance

Understanding spatial variability of soil properties is essential to support land management decisions. However, despite the growing worldwide emphasis on integrated landscape management, soil variations resulting from land use changes have rarely been documented. The study used the land health s...


Takoutsing, B.Martín, J. A. R.Weber, John C.Shepherd, K.Sila, A.Tondoh, Jérôme E.[Landscape approach to assess key soil functional properties in the highlands of Cameroon: Repercussions of spatial relationships for land management interventions]Landscape approach to assess key soil functional properties in the highlands of Cameroon: Repercussions of spatial relationships for land management interventions
Guei, AMOkoth, Peter F.Tondoh, Jérôme E.[Maize growth and production as influenced by earthwormbased integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems]Maize growth and production as influenced by earthwormbased integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems

Although soil degradation is a major threat to food security and carbon sequestration, our knowledge of the spatial extent of the problem and its drivers is very limited in Southern Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the risk of soil structural degradation and determine the variation...


Tamene, LulsegedSileshi, Gudeta W.Ndengu, GiftMponela, PowellKihara, JobSila, AndrewTondoh, Jérôme E.[Soil structural degradation and nutrient limitations across land use categories and climatic zones in Southern Africa]Soil structural degradation and nutrient limitations across land use categories and climatic zones in Southern Africa
Guei, AMBaidai, YTondoh, Jérôme E.Huising, Jeroen[Functional attributes: compacting vs decompacting earthworms and influence on soil structure]Functional attributes: compacting vs decompacting earthworms and influence on soil structure
Towett, Erick K.Shepherd, Keith D.Tondoh, Jérôme E.Winowiecki, Leigh A.Tamene, LulsegedNyambura, MercySila, AndrewVågen, Tor-GunnarCadisch, Georg[Total elemental composition of soils in Sub-Saharan Africa and relationship with soil forming factors]Total elemental composition of soils in Sub-Saharan Africa and relationship with soil forming factors

80% of arable land in Africa has low soil fertility and suffers from physical soil problems. Additionally, significant amounts of nutrients are lost every year due to unsustainable soil management practices. This is partially the result of insufficient use of soil management knowledge. To help br...


Hengl, TomislavHeuvelink, Gerard B.M.Kempen, BasLeenaars, Johan G.B.Walsh, Markus GShepherd, Keith D.Sila, AndrewMacMillan, Robert AMendes de Jesus, JorgeTamene, LulsegedTondoh, Jérôme E.[Mapping soil properties of Africa at 250 m resolution: random forests significantly improve current predictions]Mapping soil properties of Africa at 250 m resolution: random forests significantly improve current predictions

In this study, the impact of forest disturbance on earthworm assemblages was assessed using monoliths dug out at 5 m intervals along a gradient of land-use intensification. The land-use types comprised primary forest (as a baseline), secondary forest, tree plantation, fallow, perennial and annual...


Tondoh, Jérôme E.Guei, AMCsyzdum, COkoth, Peter F.[Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast]Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast

In tropical savannas where soils are generally sandy and nutrient poor, organic farming associated with enhanced soil biological activity may result in increased nutrient availability. Therefore, legumes have been introduced in the humid savanna zone of Côte d’Ivoire, owing to their ability to fi...


Kone, AWEdoukou, Ettien F.Tondoh, Jérôme E.Gonnety, JTAngui, Pascal K.T.Masse, D[Comparative study of earthworm communities, microbial biomass, and plant nutrient availability under 1-year Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp and Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet cultivations versus natural regrowths in a guinea savanna zone]Comparative study of earthworm communities, microbial biomass, and plant nutrient availability under 1-year Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp and Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet cultivations versus natural regrowths in a guinea savanna zone

Variability in woody plant species, vegetation assemblages and anthropogenic activities derails the efforts to have common approaches for estimating biomass and carbon stocks in Africa. In order to suggest management options, it is important to understand the vegetation dynamics and the major dri...
