The role of ecosystem transpiration in creating alternate moisture regimes by influencing atmospheric moisture convergence by Makarieva, A.M., Nefiodov, A.V., Nobre, A.D., Baudena, M., Bardi, U., Sheil, D., Saleska, S.R., Molina, R.D., Rammig, A.

“…Recent analyses indicate that the latter regime dominates the global response of the terrestrial water cycle to re-greening. Evaluating the transition between regimes, and recognizing the potential of vegetation for enhancing moisture convergence, are crucial for characterizing the consequences of deforestation as well as for motivating and guiding ecological restoration.…”

Food system actors engaged in the cocreation of agroecological innovations - results of year 2 engagement in eight countries by Staiger-Rivas, S., Orjuela-Ramirez, G.

“…The engagement takes place in Agroecological Living Landscapes (ALLs) that are formed in selected territories of each country with diverse stakeholders, including farmer associations or communities, researchers from multiple disciplines, extensionists, private companies, international and national non-governmental organizations as well as local, regional, and national policymakers. The establishment of ALLs does not follow a standard methodology: Each country’s context leads to a different agroecological transition pathway(s) and multi stakeholder approaches. …”

Vulnerability to climate change of cocoa in West Africa: patterns, opportunities and limits to adaptation by Schroth, Götz, Läderach, Peter R.D., Martínez Valle, Armando Isaac, Bunn, Christian, Jassogne, Laurence T.P.

“…We find that: 1) contrary to expectation, maximum dry season temperatures are projected to become as or more limiting for cocoa as dry season water availability; 2) to reduce the vulnerability of cocoa to excessive dry season temperatures, the systematic use of adaptation strategies like shade trees in cocoa farms will be necessary, in reversal of the current trend of shade reduction; 3) there is a strong differentiation of climate vulnerability within the cocoa belt, with the most vulnerable areas near the forest-savanna transition in Nigeria and eastern Côte d'Ivoire, and the least vulnerable areas in the southern parts of Cameroon, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia; 4) this spatial differentiation of climate vulnerability may lead to future shifts in cocoa production within the region, with the opportunity of partially compensating losses and gains, but also the risk of local production expansion leading to new deforestation. …”
