Guzha, A.C.Rufino, Mariana C.Okoth, S.Jacobs, S.Nóbrega, R.L.B.[Impacts of land use and land cover change on surface runoff, discharge and low flows: Evidence from East Africa]Impacts of land use and land cover change on surface runoff, discharge and low flows: Evidence from East Africa

The humid tropics are exposed to an unprecedented modernisation of agriculture involving rapid and mixed land-use changes with contrasted environmental impacts. Afforestation is often mentioned as an unambiguous solution for restoring ecosystem services and enhancing biodiversity. One consequence...


Lacombe, GuillaumeRibolzi, OlivierRouw, Anneke dePierret, A.Latsachak, K.Silvera, N.Dinh, R.P.Orange, D.Janeau, Jean L.Soulileuth, B.Robain, H.Taccoen, A.Sengphaathith, P.Mouche, E.Sengtaheuanghoung, OlothTran Duc, T.Valentin, Christian[Contradictory hydrological impacts of afforestation in the humid tropics evidenced by long-term field monitoring and simulation modelling]Contradictory hydrological impacts of afforestation in the humid tropics evidenced by long-term field monitoring and simulation modelling

Land-use and land-cover changes are driving unprecedented changes in ecosystems and environmental processes at different scales. This study was aimed at identifying the potential land-use drivers in the Jedeb catchment of the Abbay basin by combining statistical analysis, field investigation and ...


Yalew, S.G.Mul, Marloes L.Griensven, Ann vanTeferi, E.Priess, J.Schweitzer, C.Zaag, P. van der[Land-use change modelling in the Upper Blue Nile Basin]Land-use change modelling in the Upper Blue Nile Basin

Heterotrophic respiration is a major component of the soil C balance however we critically lack understanding of its variation upon conversion of peat swamp forests in tropical areas. Our research focused on a primary peat swamp forest and two oil palm plantations aged 1 (OP2012) and 6 years (OP2...


Hergoualc’h, KristellHendry, Dede T.Murdiyarso, DanielVerchot, Louis V.[Total and heterotrophic soil respiration in a swamp forest and oil palm plantations on peat in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia]Total and heterotrophic soil respiration in a swamp forest and oil palm plantations on peat in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Soil erosion supplies large quantities of sediments to rivers of Southeastern Asia. It reduces soil fertility of agro-ecosystems located on hillslopes, and it degrades, downstream, water resource quality and leads to the siltation of reservoirs. An increase in the surface area covered with commer...

Conventional wisdom in many agricultural systems across the world is that farmers cannot, will not, or should not pay the full costs associated with surface water delivery. Across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, only a handful can claim complete recovery o...

State control of land plays a critical role in producing land dispossession throughout the Global South. In Myanmar, the state’s approach towards territorial expansion has driven the country’s system of land governance, resulting in widespread and systemic land grabbing. This article investigates...

The northern Guinea savanna in Africa (NGS) with a season length of 151–180 days and an altitude below 800 m has long been recognized as highly suitable for crop production and animal husbandry. At present, land use intensity and farming as well as livestock systems vary widely across the zone. S...

The contribution of the soil scientist to land use planning mainly consists in the identification of land units and the assessment of their soil-related opportunities and limitations for various land utilization types. With a land use scenario study for the Flemish region in Belgium as an example...
