  Effects of climate change on agriculture and environment in the semi-arid tropics, with Senegal as an example

  North/South Priority Research Area, University of Copenhagen, 2003

  The effects of climate change are likely to be greater in tropical and subtropical developing countries, owing to the greater importance of the primary sector in these countries in terms of contribution to GNP. Many African nations will therefore be largely affected by global climate change.This paper focuses on Senegal, detailing the effects and possible outcomes of climate change.

  Impact of carbon value on profitability of improved fallow agroforestry systems in Kigezi highlands, Uganda

  Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, 2004

  The economic advantages of improved agro forestry fallow systems over traditional continuous cropping systems are important tools that can be used to influence the choice of land use options at household levels. In Kigezi highlands Uganda, the upper parts of farmers’ crop field terraces are degraded due to continuous cropping.

  What Role for Tropical Forests in Climate Change Mitigation? The Case of Costa Rica

  Harvard Institute for International Development, Cambridge Mass., 1999

  Land and forestry-based activities could in principle play important roles as climate change mitigation strategies. In practice, however, several questions have been raised about their feasibility. Therefore, understanding the processes and determinants of land use changes is critical.
