Land degradation is a major threat to food security in Sub Saharan Africa. Low infiltration rates in degraded soils increase the risk of surface runoff and decrease soil and groundwater recharge, resulting in further loss of soil fertility, water sca

Excessive livestock grazing overrides the positive effects of trees on infiltration capacity and modifies preferential flow in dry miombo woodlands

Autor: Ulrik Ilstedt, C. A. Masao, L. Lulandala, Gert Nyberg, Aida Bargués-Tobella

The increase in livestock grazing in African drylands such as miombo woodlands threatens land productivity and ecosystem functioning. Trees have positive effects on soil hydraulic properties, but few studies have looked at grazing intensity and hydro

As a result of canopy interception and transpiration, trees are often assumed to have negative effects on the local hydrological budget resulting in reduced soil and groundwater resources. However, it has also been shown that trees can have positive

Lack of data on water use of key species of drylands constitutes an obstacle to understanding their role in hydrological processes in this environment. To elucidate seasonal variation in water consumption by Vitellaria paradoxa, the dominant species
