Influence of soil, climate and land use on soil water balance in the Upper Ewaso Ng'iro Basin in Kenya
The influence of soil, climate, and land use on soil water balance was investigated in 3
agroclimatic zones within the Upper Ewaso Ng'iro Basin. Water balance was quantified
for various land uses and management systems in each zone. These were natural forest (NF),
grazing land (GL) and potato cropland (PC) on a mollic Andosol at Karuri; conventional
tillage (CT), mulch tillage (MT), overgrazing (OG) and controlled grazing (CG) on a ferric
Luvisol at Kalalu; and perennial grass (PO), enclosed perennial grass (PE), bare ground

Carbon dynamics in slash-and-burn agriculture and land use alternatives of the humid forest zone in Cameroon
One of the environmental consequences of slash-and-burn farming is the loss of forest system carbon which in turn contributes to atmospheric change and impacts upon global climates. International attention has become focused upon the development of alternatives to slash-and-burn agriculture to alleviate poverty, protect biodiversity and reduce climate change. Before alternative land use systems can be evaluated in terms of carbon sequestration, baseline measurements of carbon dynamics resulting from current practices are required.
