Connectivity between land, water, and people: integrating process concepts and assessment evidence across disciplines for co-design of soil erosion solutions
Blake, William; Kelly, Claire; Wynants, Mona; Patrick, Aloyce; Lewin, Shaun; Lawson, Joseph; Nasolwa, Emmanuel; Page, Annabel; Nasseri, Mona; Marks, Carey; Gilvear, David; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Authorea, 2020-04-20)Soil resources in East Africa are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food-, water- and livelihood security in the region. Here we demonstrate how integration of evidence from natural and social sciences has ... -
Determining tributary sources of increased sedimentation in East-African Rift Lakes.
Wynants, Maarten; Millward, Geoffrey; Patrick, Aloyce; Taylor, Alex; Brendonck, Luc; Gilvear, David; Boeckx, Pascal; Blake, William; Munishi, Linus; Mtei, Kelvin; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-15)Temporal and spatial sediment dynamics in an East-African Rift Lake (Lake Manyara, Tanzania), and its river inputs, have been evaluated via a combination of sediment tracing and radioactive dating. Changes in sedimentation ... -
Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains
Wynants, Maarten; Kelly, Claire; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Patrick, Aloyce; Rabinovich, Anna; Nasseri, Mona; Gilvear, David; Roberts, Neil; Boeckx, Pascal; Wilson, Geoff; Blake, William; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Springer, 2019-06-08)Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. ... -
Integrating land-water-people connectivity concepts across disciplines for co-design of soil erosion solutions
Blake, William; Kelly, Claire; Wynants, Maarten; Patrick, Aloyce; Lewin, Shaun; Lawson, Joseph; Nasolwa, Emmanuel; Page, Annabel; Nasseri, Mona; Marks, Carey; Gilvear, David; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Ndakidemi, Patrick (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-10-02)Soil resources in East Africa are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food, water and livelihood security in the region. Here we demonstrate how the integration of evidence from natural and social sciences has ... -
Protecting the commons: Predictors of willingness to mitigate communal land degradation among Maasai pastoralists
Rabinovich, Anna; Heath, Stacey; Zhischenko, Vladimir; Mkilema, Francis; Patrick, Aloyce; Nasseri, Mona; Wynants, Maarten; Blake, William; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Elsevier Ltd., 2020-12)Extensive land degradation is a global problem that presents a critical threat to pastoralists’ welfare in East Africa and beyond. Although the reasons for this environmental problem are complex, it is likely to be exacerbated ... -
Soil erosion in East Africa: an interdisciplinary approach to realising pastoral land management change
Blake, William; Rabinovich, Anna; Wynants, Maarten; Kelly, Claire; Nasseri, Mona; Ngondya, Issakwisa; Patrick, Aloyce; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Boeckx, Pascal; Navas, Ana; Smith, Hugh; Gilvear, David; Wilson, Geoff; Roberts, Neil; Ndakidemi, Patrick (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-12-03)Implementation of socially acceptable and environmentally desirable solutions to soil erosion challenges is often limited by (1) fundamental gaps between the evidence bases of different disciplines and (2) an implementation ... -
We will change whether we want it or not”: Soil erosion in Maasai land as a social dilemma and a challenge to community resilience
Rabinovich, Anna; Kelly, Claire; Wilson, Geoff; Nasseri, Mona; Ngondya, Issakwisa; Patrick, Aloyce; Blake, William; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Elsevier, 2019-10-31)Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge that undermines economic development in many regions of the world. While much previous work explored physical processes behind this problem, less attention has been paid to ...
