Trends in productivity of crops, fallow and rangelands in Southwest Niger: Impact of land use, management and variable rainfall
To document trends in land use and herbaceous production, 71 field sites sampled among cropped fields, fallow fields and rangelands in the Fakara region (Niger) were monitored from 1994 to 2006. The overall trend in land use confirmed the historical increase of the cropped areas since mid 20th centu...
