  • Archetypes of remnant West African forest patches, their main characteristics and geographical distribution

    Open AccessVladimir Wingate, Felicia O Akinyemi et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2023

    Remnant West African forest patches provide crucial ecosystem functions and services while contributing to sustaining the livelihoods of vast numbers of people. The vast majority lie outside of protected areas, although relatively few are managed as sacred forests, which limits their access and use. This lack of protection, together with a growing demand for arable land and forest resources, have accentuated their fragmentation, degradation, and …

  • Assessing UN indicators of land degradation neutrality and proportion of degraded land for Botswana using remote sensing based national level metrics

    Open AccessFelicia O Akinyemi, Gohar Ghazaryan et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN) has been proposed as a way to stem the loss of land resources globally. To date, LDN operationalization at the country level has remained a challenge both from a policy and science perspective. Using an approach incorporating cloud‐based geospatial computing with machine learning, national level datasets of land cover, land productivity dynamics, and soil organic carbon stocks were developed. Using the …

  • Climate Change and Variability in Semiarid Palapye, Eastern Botswana

    Open AccessFelicia O AkinyemiARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2017

    Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and variability in semiarid contexts. Despite the limited adaptation options often used and the largely subsistence agriculture practiced, studies have shown that smallholders have accumulated local knowledge about changes in climatic conditions. Farmers with field experience and an extensive stay in three sites in Palapye, eastern Botswana, were interviewed. This st…

  • Designing Effective Legends and Layouts with a Focus on Nigerian Topographic Maps

    Felicia O Akinyemi, Felicia Akinyemi et al.ARTICLECartographica The International…2013

    Most mapping research efforts currently focus on the content of maps and the platform used. By examining layout (the spatial arrangement of various map elements) and legends (an example of marginal map information) in topographic maps, this study complements other studies on map content and use. A map's legend, sometimes known as a “key,” enables the reader to decipher the meanings of the marks and forms that make up the map's content. The layout…
