In the aggregate structure of agricultural lands, pastures and hayfields comprise 69.0% of the total agricultural area; arable lands, 28.2%; and lands under permanent crops, only 2.8%. But this structure is different in different regions: Oceania, Africa, and South America have the maximum porti...
The model overestimates subsidence in some regions of the heavily pumped High Plains Aquifer38 where a recent study has estimated <1 cm/year subsidence39. InSAR studies in Africa40,41 have estimated less than 1 cm/year subsidence in the Nile river delta and in several coastal cities, ...

Full size image Generating land-use map prediction at scale We present the first wall-to-wall map of land-use following deforestation across Africa covering forest loss from the year 2001 to 2020 (Fig.2). The output predicted map is available at a spatial resolution of 5 m, with 15 land...
Changes in land tenure and agricultural intensification in sub-Saharan Africa Due to increasing population pressure on limited cultivable land in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), farm size has been shrinking, fallow periods ha... K Otsuka,F Place - 《Wider Working Paper》 被引量: 27...
Land-use change is a direct driver of biodiversity loss, projection and future land use change often consider a topical issue in response to climate change. Yet few studies have projected land-use changes over Africa, owing to large uncertainties. We project changes in land-use and land-use ...
Rapid population growth in West Africa has exerted increasing pressures on land resources, leading to observable changes in the land cover and land use. However, spatially explicit and thematically detailed quantitative analyses of land cover change over long time periods and at regional scale have be...
