Marco da Silva, AlexandreHuang, Chi HuaFrancesconi, WendySaintil, ThalikaVillegas, Jazmin[Using landscape metrics to analyze micro-scale soil erosion processes]Using landscape metrics to analyze micro-scale soil erosion processes

During the Phase I of the CCAFS project we conducted a systematic land and soil health assessment in Lushoto District in November 2012. These data were used to inform climate-smart agricultural interventions for the IFAD project as well as to parameterize DSSAT crop models for maize and beans. T...

The Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS), was a project led by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute (TSBF) of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), based in Nairobi, in collaboration with several partners including the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). The AfS...

During the Phase II of the SOIL project in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba Landscape, a wide range of activities were implemented during the 2011- 2013 in order to develop and expand sustainable agriculture activities within the landscape. This report highlights the land and soil health assessment that ...

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

Low phosphorus (P) supply is a major limitation to pasture establishment and production in highly weathered acid soils. Previous research showed that the forage legume, Arachis pintoi, was more efficient in acquiring P from infertile acid soils than the forage grass, Brachiaria dictyoneura. The m...

Secondary and micronutrients are important in enhancing crop productivity; yet, they are hardly studied in sub-Sahara Africa. In this region, the main focus has been on macronutrients but there is emerging though scattered evidence of crop productivity limitations by the secondary and micronutrie...

Soils are increasingly recognized as major contributors to ecosystem services such as food production and climate regulation (1, 2), and demand for up-to-date and relevant soil information is soaring. But communicating such information among diverse audiences remains challenging because of incons...
