Mayaka, T.B.Eba'a Atyi, R.Momo, S.T.[Construction of multispecies allometric equations: Is there a statistical palliative for destructive tree sampling?]Construction of multispecies allometric equations: Is there a statistical palliative for destructive tree sampling?

Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done fo...

Maize productivity relationships were studied at Ibadan in the derived savanna of south-western Nigeria using the CERES-Maize simulation model at six crop densities ranging from 2.96 to 13.3 plants m-2. The absolute growth rate for all plant components decreased linearly with density. The optimum...

Both area and time factors have to be considered to quantify resource-use efficiency in multiseason intercropping. The land equivalent ratio (LER), commonly used as an indicator of efficiency, is not suitable because it considers only the area factor to estimate intercrop advantages. The area tim...

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural hazards in the world and its forecast is essential in flood risk reduction and disaster response decision. The lack of adequate monitoring networks, especially in developing countries prevents near real-time flood prediction that could help to reduc...


Tarpanelli, A.Amarnath, GirirajBrocca, L.Massari, C.Moramarco, T.[Discharge estimation and forecasting by MODIS and altimetry data in Niger-Benue River]Discharge estimation and forecasting by MODIS and altimetry data in Niger-Benue River

Availability of reliable, timely and accurate rainfall data is constraining the establishment of flood forecasting and early warning systems in many parts of Africa. We evaluated the potential of satellite and weather forecast data as input to a parsimonious flood forecasting model to provide inf...

Projections of climate change are available at coarse scales (70–400 km). But agricultural and species models typically require finer scale climate data to model climate change impacts. Here, we present a global database of future climates developed by applying the delta method –a method for clim...

Basin-wide planning requires tools and strategies that allow comparison of alternative pathways and priorities at relevant spatial and temporal scales. In this paper, we apply a hydroeconomic model–the Western Nepal Energy Water Model–that better accounts for feedbacks between water and energy ma...

While hydrological science has made great strides forward during the last 50 years with the advance of computing power and availability of satellite images, much is unknown about the sustainable development of water for irrigation, domestic use, and livestock consumption for millions of household...
