Nutrient balances are useful tools as indicators of potential land degradation and for optimizing nutrient use, and are thus highly relevant in the African context. A comprehensive literature review on nutrient balances in Africa was carried out to illustrate the main approaches, challenges, and progre...

While much attention has been paid to the role of external actors in land appropriation in East Africa, this paper directs attention to endogenous agency and compliancy in territorial restructuring. 展开 关键词: Pastoralism land-use change future-making infrastructures socio-spatial relations conflict ...
Evaluating the existing land use and its periodic change is useful for urban planners, policy makers and natural resource managers. Land use and land cover changes in Mekelle City, Ethiopia (north east Africa) over a period of 25 years was studied using remotely sensed data. Multi temporal ...
East Africa's highlands have a large potential for agricultural production and, until the mid-20th century, they were resilient to exploitation (McCall, 1985). The favourable climate with abundant rainfall and fertile soils attracted farmers to the region many centuries ago. The productivity of the...
use practices in western Africa for nine time-windows over the period 1800 BC–AD 1500. The maps are based on a broad synthesis of archaeological, archaeobotanical, archaeozoological, historical, linguistic, genetic, and ethnographic data, and present land use in 12 basic categories. The main ...
