Bao Le QuangTamene, LulsegedVlek, Paul L.G.[Multi-pronged assessment of land degradation in West Africa to assess the importance of atmospheric fertilization in masking the processes involved]Multi-pronged assessment of land degradation in West Africa to assess the importance of atmospheric fertilization in masking the processes involved

Soil erosion is a very critical form of land degradation resulting in the loss of soil nutrients and downstream sedimentation of water storages in the highlands of Ethiopia. As it is technically and financially impossible to conserve all landscapes affected by erosion, identification of priority ...


Tamene, LulsegedAdimassu, ZenebeAynekulu, ErmiasYaekob, Tesfaye[Estimating landscape susceptibility to soil erosion using a GIS-based approach in Northern Ethiopia]Estimating landscape susceptibility to soil erosion using a GIS-based approach in Northern Ethiopia

The vast majority of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa depend on rainfed agriculture for food production and livelihood. Various factors including but not limited to rainfall variability, land degradation, and low soil fertility constrain agricultural productivity in the region. The objectives of thi...

Conflicting demands for food and water, exacerbated by increasing population, increase the risks of food insecurity, poverty and environmental damage in major river systems. Agriculture remains the predominant water user, but the linkage between water, agriculture and livelihoods is more complex ...


Cook, Simon E.Fisher, Myles J.Andersson, Meike S.Rubiano Mejía, Jorge EliécerGiordano, Mark[Water, food and livelihoods in river basins]Water, food and livelihoods in river basins

A qualitative evaluation of a ‘sangre de grado’ tree population along the Aguaytia watershed determined its abundance and latex production potential. Also, the flora species composition of the 9 year-old secondary forests was outlined. By collecting botanic samples, the species Croton draconoides...

This article discusses the role of forests at different elevations in providing ecosystem services, and particularly water. It analyses the changes in forest management and their consequences over the post liberation period, concentrating on the post-1983 devolution of forest management to villag...


Yu Xiaogang[Conflict in resource management for ecosystem services: water in Lashi watershed, Lijiang]Conflict in resource management for ecosystem services: water in Lashi watershed, Lijiang

Because ecosystem services are generally not produced and used in the same place, their assessment should consider the flows of services from ecosystems to users. These flows depend on the characteristics and spatial distribution of ecosystems and users, the spatial relationships between them, an...

Autor: Iwan, R.

The Setulang community in Malinau, Indonesia has resisted offers of substantial sums of money from timber companies to gain access to their lands. Instead they have sought to conserve their forest because of the many services it provides them. This article, written by a member of the Setulang com...
