  • Pathways from research to sustainable development

    Open AccessAnna Scaini, Joe Mulligan et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Cited by: 2References: 106

    Drawing on collective experience from ten collaborative research projects focused on the Global South, we identify three major challenges that impede the translation of research on sustainability and resilience into better-informed choices by individuals and policy-makers that in turn can support transformation to a sustainable future. The three challenges comprise: (i) converting knowledge produced during research projects into successful knowle…

  • Hydro-climatic controls explain variations in catchment-scale nitrogen use efficiency

    Open AccessAnna Scaini, David Zamora et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The efficiency of fertilizer conversion to harvestable products is often low in annual crops such that large amounts of nutrients are lost from fields with negative consequences for the environment. Focusing on nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE: the ratio of N in harvested products over the sum of all N inputs), we propose that hydrological controls can explain variations in NUE, because water mediates both the uptake of N by plants and N leaching…

  • Do alternative irrigation strategies for rice cultivation decrease water footprints at the cost of long-term soil health

    Open AccessJohn Livsey, Thomas Kätterer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The availability of water is a growing concern for flooded rice production. As such, several water-saving irrigation practices have been developed to reduce water requirements. Alternate wetting and drying and mid-season drainage have been shown to potentially reduce water requirements while maintaining rice yields when compared to continuous flooding. With the removal of permanently anaerobic conditions during the growing season, water-saving ir…

  • Hydro-climatic trends and water resource management implications based on multi-scale data for the Lake Victoria region, Kenya

    Open AccessAlexander Koutsouris, A J Koutsouris et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2010

    Unreliable rainfall may be a main cause of poverty in rural areas, such as the Kisumu district by Lake Victoria in Kenya. Climate change may further increase the negative effects of rainfall uncertainty. These effects could be mitigated to some extent through improved and adaptive water resource management and planning, which relies on our interpretations and projections of the coupled hydro-climatic system behaviour and its development trends. I…
