Spatial analysis and modeling of carbon storage in native shrubs of Senegal's Peanut Basin

Creator:

Lufafa, Abel

Abstract:

Farmlands, grasslands, and savannas in semi-arid sub-Sahelian Africa have the potential to store carbon (C) in soil. There is a great need to manage ecosystems to increase C storage in semipermanent soil pools. This will improve soil quality, impede desertification and by reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels, will slow climate change....

Spatial analysis of soil depth variability and pedogenesis along toposequences in the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus

Creator:

Robins, Colin R.

Abstract:

In unstable landscapes, modern pedological research explores the role of soils as products and indicators of geomorphologic change. Understanding the dynamics of hill slope pedogenesis is especially important in regions with limited, poor, or threatened soil resources. The island of Cyprus, situated in the eastern Mediterranean, is claimed by many...
