A spatial assessment of land suitability for maize farming in Kenya

Dan Wanyama et al.

Summary: This study utilized analytical hierarchy process and remote sensing to develop a land suitability model for maize farming in Kenya, addressing the impact of climate change on crop yields. Proposed climate change adaptation practices in agriculture were based on local farmers' knowledge, with diversification, timing, fertility retention, and seeds quality identified as practical measures.

Effects of protection and restoration on reducing ecological vulnerability

Qiang Li et al.

Summary: The study conducted a long-term analysis of ecological vulnerability in Jingle County and found a decrease in ecological vulnerability from 2005 to 2015, with changes mainly influenced by natural environment and human activities. Factors such as NDVI, distance from main road, and river system were identified to reduce ecological vulnerability, while increasing vegetation coverage and economic development also played a positive role in reducing ecological vulnerability.

Climate Change and Water Dynamics in Rural Uganda

Laura McKinney et al.

Summary: The purpose of this case study is to examine the effects of climate change on agricultural life in rural Uganda. Based on primary data, the authors investigate the impact of living in constant threat of flooding and landslides, where water is a major source of loss for most people. Disasters are shown to be a great equalizer among affected populations, with only neighbors to depend on in the aftermath.
