In the field of climate services, characterization rainfall extremes is useful to identify and quantify rain rates that can trigger floods, on-farm water stagnation, excess run-off causing arable soil depletion other natural hazards. Delving through multiple sources observational uncertainties, we define extreme events (EREs) using 99th percentile thresholds daily accumulated rainfall, extracted from historical data records (1960–2016) manual tipping bucket gauges. The results analysis show...
Abstract Competition between crops and livestock farming systems escalates due to changing land use patterns driven by climate change in the Sahel of West Africa's, particularly Volta Niger River basins. This study demonstrates practical implications sustainable intensification pathways under different realizations that illustrate synergies crop-livestock-climate nexus reducing negative impacts climatic extreme events Africa. Integrated crop-livestock experimental designs were conducted...
Surface observations provide ground evidence of climate change to support the scientific guidance paving way better adaptation and mitigation actions. The West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) has designed a multi-stakeholder initiative rescue deteriorated near-surface weather, hydrological equipment countries. main goal for this framework was monitor collect long term high-quality records essential variables in research, education, capacity...
Abstract The regional climate as it is now and in the future will put pressure on investments sub-Saharan Africa water resource management, fisheries, other crop livestock production systems. Changes oceanic characteristics across Atlantic Ocean result remarkable vulnerability of coastal ecology, littorals, mangroves middle twenty-first century beyond. In line with countries' objectives creating a green economy that allows reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved efficiency, prevention...
Abstract With the ongoing global warming, occurrence and amplitude of extreme weather events have increased over West African Sahel. The increasing frequency heavy rain events, can negatively affect lowland crops’ growth production. Two-season field experiments were conducted near Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) to test effects temporary flooding surface water stagnation on maize ( Zea mays L. ) productivity. treatments organized into a split-split plot design. Three factors monitored, including...
Climate services favor adopting strategies to increase agricultural productivity, enhance sustainable development, and adapt unavoidable climate variability change. However, for climates be effective, they must accessible suitable user needs. This study investigated the effects of customized (CCS) on land labor productivity. Portraying case CCS delivered in districts Bolgatanga (Northern Ghana), Dano Ouahigouya (western northern Burkina Faso) West Africa, it used: i) historical panel data...
