Fisher, Myles J.Rao, Idupulapati M.Ayarza, Miguel AngelLascano, Carlos E.Sanz Scovino, José IgnacioThomas, Richard J.Vera, Raúl R.[Carbon storage by introduced deep-rooted grasses in the South American savannas]Carbon storage by introduced deep-rooted grasses in the South American savannas

Carbon assimilation defined as the overall rate of fixation of carbon through the process of photosynthesis is central to the climate change research. The present study compares the two well-known algorithms in satellite based carbon assimilation estimation, the Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (V...


Joseph, S.Laake, P. vanThomas, A.P.Eklundh, L.[Comparison of carbon assimilation estimates over tropical forest types in India based on different satellite and climate data products]Comparison of carbon assimilation estimates over tropical forest types in India based on different satellite and climate data products

Strategies for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) could become an important part of a new agreement for climate change mitigation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. We constructed a system dynamics model for a cocoa agroforest landsca...


Sandker, M.Nyame, S. K.Forster, J.Collier, N.Shepherd, G.Yeboah, D.Ezzine-de-Blas, D.Machwitz, M.Vaatainen, S.Garedew, E.Etoga, G.Ehringhaus, C.Anati, J.Quarm, O.D.K.Campbell, Bruce M.[REDD payments as incentive for reducing forest loss]REDD payments as incentive for reducing forest loss

In Central Africa, important carbon stocks are stored in natural forest stands, while activities that modify the carbon storage occur in the forest landscape. Besides clean development mechanisms, the reduction of emission through deforestation and degradation (REDD) initiative is viewed as one w...


Sonwa, D.J.Walker, S.Nasi, RobertKanninen, M.[Potential synergies of the main current forestry efforts and climate change mitigation in Central Africa]Potential synergies of the main current forestry efforts and climate change mitigation in Central Africa

High grazing intensity and wide-spread woody encroachment may strongly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ecosystem. As shifts in soil C and N pools might further potentially influe...

Kisaka, M. OscarMucheru-Muna, M.Ngetich, F.K.Mugwe, J.N.Mugendi, D.N.Mairura, Franklin S.Muriuki, J.[Using Apsim-Model as a decision-support-tool for long-term integrated-nitrogen-management and maize productivity under semi-arid conditions in Kenya]Using Apsim-Model as a decision-support-tool for long-term integrated-nitrogen-management and maize productivity under semi-arid conditions in Kenya

Cacao is an important smallholder crop in West Africa, often grown under a forest canopy. Yields from cacao farms are low so farmers consider removing shade trees, however, the impacts on pest and disease dynamics, soil fertility and thus yield in the longer term are not understood. We estimated ...

Combustion of fuels in the residential sector for cooking and heating results in the emission of aerosol and aerosol precursors impacting air quality, human health, and climate. Residential emissions are dominated by the combustion of solid fuels. We use a global aerosol microphysics model to sim...


Butt, E.W.Rap, A.Schmidt, A.Scott, C.E.Pringle, K.J.Reddington, C.L.Richards, N.A.D.Woodhouse, M.T.Ramírez Villegas, JuliánYang, H.Vakkari, V.Stone, E.A.Rupakheti, M.Praveen, P.S.Zyl, P.G. vanBeukes, J.P.Josipovic, M.Mitchell, E.J.S.Sallu, S.M.Forster, P.M.Spracklen, D.V.[The impact of residential combustion emissions on atmospheric aerosol, human health, and climate]The impact of residential combustion emissions on atmospheric aerosol, human health, and climate

Carbon footprint is a key indicator of the contribution of food production to climate change and its importance is increasing worldwide. Although it has been used as a sustainability index for assessing production systems, it does not take into account many other biophysical environmental dimensi...


Modernel PAstigarraga LPicasso V[Global versus local environmental impacts of grazing and confined beef production systems]Global versus local environmental impacts of grazing and confined beef production systems

The Reduced-Impact Logging Project, a pilot carbon offset project, was initiated in 1992 when a power company provided funds to a timber concessionaire to implement timber harvesting guidelines in dipterocarp forest. The rationale for the offset is that when logging damage is reduced, more carbon...
