This study was conducted on the outskirts of the Douala-Edea National Park (Mouanko, Littoral Cameroon), as part of the project “The Restoration Initiative (TRI)”. It aims to determine the growth rate of nursery seedlings of Ricinodendron heudelotii, Irvingia gabonensis, and Garcinia kola. The inventory method made it possible to identify the importance of the NTFP species chosen by the local communities in the coastal forest. The collection of the chosen species was a...

The paper investigates the role of irrigation in developing agriculture in Senegal, focusing on the PARIIS project in the Fatick region. It assesses the added value of irrigation by examining agricultural production levels and income generated among primarily female beneficiaries. The study finds that irrigation significantly increased production and consequently raised the income of all producers. Additional benefits include time savings, improved health conditions, and the ability for benefici...

With the increasing transnational and interregional economic, social, and cultural exchanges, the demand for large-scale debris flow research has be-come more urgent. The northern mountainous areas of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the Tianshan Mountains exhibit diverse types of debris flows, posing serious threats to the safety of local residents and the smooth implementation of major projects. Currently, there is no research specifically targeting debris flows in this large region. B...

Increasing frequency, severity and duration of droughts in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands in Kenya in the past three decades is a major challenge to survival of agrarian livelihoods and food security in Makueni County. Increasing frequency and severity of droughts in the region are influenced by a number of factors. The Indian Ocean Dipole is the principal factor driving droughts in the lower Eastern region. The influence of the Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperatures on occurrence of droughts in Makuen...

Determining the coordinates of earthquakes is a priority task in seismically active regions, the accuracy of which is subject to ever-increasing demands. The accuracy and completeness of the data determine the correctness of solving prognostic and structural problems of modern seismology, as well as problems of geodynamics of seismic regions. The work analyzes the registration and processing of Republic Armenia (RA) seismological data. It has been shown that the accuracy of processing Republic A...

The study analyses the natural resource conflict in the Gambia with a case in Sanyang. One hundred and seventy (170) persons were involved as respondents to the basic questionnaire to establish the causes of conflicts in the community. Through a questionnaire, observations, and individual interviews, this paper seeks to analyse the conflict in Sanyang. Many natural resource-rich countries especially in Africa are battling violent resource conflicts leading to snail-pace economic growth, ecologic...

The availability of pedogenic information and proper classification of soils is the right step and key in the fight against poor outputs of crop production. The soils of the university of Cape Coast research field in Twifo Wamaso were fully characterized along a toposequence and classified according to soil taxonomy and the WRB legend to assess the influence of topography on soil development. The morphology and the physicochemical properties of five pedons located at the upper. Shoulder, middle,...

In this paper we consider the different locations of Zhejiang (ZJ) provincial area including Hangzhou Bay (HZB), Ningbo (NB), Zhoushan (ZS), Taizhou (TZ) and Wenzhou (WZ) subareas to find out the sea level (SL) variations. Sea Surface Height Relative to Geoid over these areas has been obtained from the satellite altimetry data produced routinely by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) data...

We conducted a detailed study in comparing physico-chemical parameters of glacier melt water between two years (2016 & 2019) in upstream sites with an elevation ranging from 4100 m to 3550 m above sea level of Ponkar glacier, Manang district, Nepal. We conducted onsite testing of physical parameter like pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity by using multiprobes and chemical parameters like anions, cations, total silica and heavy metals were analyzed following standard me...

Rainfall variability has negatively impacted rain-fed crop farming in arid and semi-arid lands increasing households’ vulnerability. This study sought to establish the extent to which rain-fed crop farming households in Kitui South sub-County in semi-arid Southeastern Kenya are vulnerable to rainfall variability. The study used index-based approach where Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) for each of the randomly sampled 311 households was calculated using the IPCC framework. Rainfall data for...
