Water scarcity effects on equitable water distribution and land use in a major irrigation project: case study in India por Gaur, Anju, Biggs, Trent W., Gumma, Murali K., Gangadhara Rao, Parthasaradhi, Turral, Hugh

“…We combined 3 years _2000- 2003_ of canal release data with census statistics and high temporal resolution _8-10 days_ moderate resolution imaging spectrometer _MODIS_ 500-m resolution satellite imagery. The impact of water scarcity on land use pattern, delineated by MODIS images with moderate spatial resolution, was comparable with the census statistics, while the MODIS data also identified areas with changes and delays in the rice crop area, which is critical in assessing the impact of canal operations. …”

Exploring diversity in soil fertility management of smallholder farms in western Kenya. II. Within-farm variability in resource allocation, nutrient flows and soil fertility status por Tittonell, Pablo A., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Leffelaar, P.A., Shepherd, Keith D., Giller, Kenneth E.

“…Fields classified by them as poor were planted later (up to 33.6 days of delay), with sparser crops (ca. 30% less plants m?2) and had higher weed infestation levels than those classified as fertile, leading to important differences in maize yield (e.g. 0.9 versus 2.4 t ha?…”

Catchment-scale spatial variability of soil properties and implications on site-specific soil management in northern Ethiopia por Brhane Tesfahunegn, Gebrayesus, Tamene, Lulseged D., Vlek, Paul L.G.

“…This study indicates a wide range of variability in the soil properties as the kriged maps of the soil properties at catchment-scale showed for sand (15–70%), silt (18–77%), clay (3–51%), bulk density (1.00–2.00 Mg m?3), OC (0.20–4.5%), TN (0.05–1.0%), Pav (1–26 mg kg?…”

Afforestation by natural regeneration or by tree planting: examples of opposite hydrological impacts evidenced by long-term field monitoring in the humid tropics por Lacombe, Guillaume, Ribolzi, Olivier, Rouw, Anneke de, Pierret, Alain, Latsachak, K., Silvera, N., Pham Dinh, R., Orange, Didier, Janeau, Jean L., Soulileuth, B., Robain, H., Taccoen, A., Sengphaathith, P., Mouche, E., Sengtaheuanghoung, Oloth, Tran Duc, T., Valentin, Christian

“…An observatory including long-term field measurements of fine-scale land-use mosaics and of hydro-meteorological variables has been operating in several headwater catchments in tropical Southeast Asia since 2001. The GR2M water balance model repeatedly calibrated over successive 1 year periods, and used in simulation mode with specific rainfall input, allowed the hydrological effect of land-use change to be isolated from that of rainfall variability in two of these catchments in Laos and Vietnam. …”
