Interconnections Between Land Cover Change and Livelihoods Among Forest-Adjacent Populations: The Case of Mau Forest Complex, Kenya
Land cover is a key environmental variable that shapes ecosystem services and local sustainability. This study analyzes spatiotemporal patterns of land use and land cover (LULC) change in the four counties encompassing the Mau Forest Complex in southwest Kenya and examines how these changes affect forest-adjacent livelihoods. Using remotely sensed LULC data, stratified household surveys, key informant interviews, and county-level statistics, we a…
Spatio-temporal analysis of vegetation cover transitions and underlying governance approaches in Malawi, Southern Africa
Advancing sustainability in data-sparse landscapes using a water-energy-food nexus approach
Land use change analysis and modeling of its future trajectories in Morogoro Region, Tanzania: Implication for conservation
Patterns and drivers of disturbance in tropical forest reserves of southern Ghana
Ghana has retained a substantial area of tropical forests in an extensive network of protected reserves. These forests are impacted by land uses such as logging, mining, and agriculture as well as wildfires. We studied forest disturbance and recovery from 2013 to 2020 using annual maps of forest cover derived from Landsat imagery. Fire-associated disturbance was distinguished using VIIRS active fire data. We used boosted regression trees to model…
Challenges of transhumance in Northwest Cameroon
A sediment-mixing process model of till genesis, using texture and clay mineralogy data from Saginaw lobe (Michigan, USA) tills
We present a sediment-mixing process model of till genesis based on data from surface tills of the Saginaw lobe terrain in lower Michigan. Our research uses a spatial approach to understanding glacial landsystems and till genesis. We sampled calcareous till at 336 upland sites and at 17 sites in lacustrine sediment of the Saginaw Lake plain. The loamy tills have bimodal grain-size curves, with a fine-texture mode near the silt–clay boundary and a…
