Building Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience through Soil Organic Carbon Restoration in Sub-Saharan Rural Communities: Challenges and Opportunities
(MDPI, 2021-10-02)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is widely recognised as pivotal in soil function, exerting important controls on soil structure, moisture retention, nutrient cycling and biodiversity, which in turn underpins a range of provisioning, ...
Reconstructing the Changes in Sedimentation and Source Provenance in East African Hydropower Reservoirs: A Case Study of Nyumba ya Mungu in Tanzania
(MDPI, 2021-08-08)
This study aimed to reconstruct the sedimentation rates over time and identify the changing
sources of sediment in a major hydropower reservoir in Tanzania, the Nyumba ya Mungu (NYM).
Fallout 210Pb measurements were used ...
Evaluating Soil Carbon as a Proxy for Erosion Risk in the Spatio-Temporal Complex Hydropower Catchment in Upper Pangani, Northern Tanzania
(MDPI, 2021-10-15)
Land use conversion is generally accompanied by large changes in soil organic carbon
(SOC). SOC influences soil erodibility through its broad control on aggregate stability, soil structure
and infiltration capacity. ...
Soil erosion and sediment transport in Tanzania: Part I – sediment source tracing in three neighbouring river catchments
(Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-12)
Water bodies in Tanzania are experiencing increased siltation, which is threatening water quality, ecosystem health, and livelihood security in the region. This phenomenon is caused by increasing rates of upstream soil ...
