Analysis of Ers Sar and Wind Scatterometer Data Complementarity over a Sahelian Agro-pastoral Area
A study has been conducted over an agro-pastoral area in Niger, characterised by large land use heterogeneity, using low resolution Wind Scatterometer (WSC) data. 9-year WSC data time series are analysed over the study site with the help of a backscattering model. 8 ERS Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images were also analysed in order to quantify the different land use contributions to the WSC ...
متن کاملThe effect of climate variation on agro-pastoral production in Africa.
Using national crop and livestock production records from 1961-2003 and satellite-derived data on pasture greenness from 1982-2003 we show that the productivity of crops, livestock, and pastures in Africa is predictably associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation. The causal relations of these results are partly understandable through the associations bet...
متن کاملDiet Diversity in Pastoral and Agro-pastoral Households in Ugandan Rangeland Ecosystems.
We explore how diet diversity differs with agricultural seasons and between households within pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood systems, using variety of foods consumed as a less complex proxy indicator of food insecurity than benchmark indicators like anthropometry and serum nutrients. The study was in the central part of the rangelands in Uganda. Seventy nine households were monitored for...
متن کاملEpidemiological survey of brucellosis in sheep and goats in selected pastoral and agro-pastoral lowlands of Ethiopia.
An epidemiological survey was conducted in pastoral regions of Ethiopia to investigate the distribution of brucellosis in sheep and goats. Between November 2004 and December 2007, a total of 6,201 serum samples were collected from 67 randomly selected peasant associations, 25 districts and eight pastoral zones of Ethiopia. The Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and complement fixation test were used...
