Drivers and impacts of Eastern African rainfall variability

Paul I. Palmer et al.

Summary: Eastern Africa experiences bimodal rainfall with long rains and short rains, and changes in rainfall have significant socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Teleconnections like El Nino-Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole play a major role in interannual variability. The long rains have been getting drier while the short rains have become wetter. These patterns affect flooding, droughts, food and energy systems, diseases, and ecosystem stability. Climate projections suggest that by 2030-2040, the short rains will deliver more rainfall than the long rains, posing challenges for agriculture and public health emergencies. Mitigation efforts should focus on agriculture, clean water, medical and emergency infrastructure, and adaptation strategies.

Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as affected by NPK fertilization

Nabin Rawal et al.

Summary: Nutrient use efficiency is crucial for increasing crop yield and quality while reducing fertilizer inputs and minimizing environmental damage. The study in Nepal showed that optimal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium significantly influenced wheat performance and nutrient efficiency. The study recommends specific nutrient levels for efficient nutrient management in wheat cultivation in the mid-hills of Nepal.

Assessing and understanding non-responsiveness of maize and soybean to fertilizer applications in African smallholder farms

Dries Roobroeck et al.

Summary: The use of mineral fertilizers is essential to enhance crop productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa, but non-responsiveness to inorganic fertilizers has been observed in maize and soybean crops. This phenomenon is influenced by multiple factors, and is not consistently related to soil texture and land slope.

Little Effect of Land Use on N2O and NO Emission Pulses Following Rewetting of Dry Soils Across Seasonally Dry sub-Saharan Africa

Jonathan E. Hickman et al.

Summary: In seasonally dry ecosystems, rainfall events can stimulate significant emissions of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O), with nitrogen gas emissions not significantly affected by land use or fertilization history, possibly due to confounding differences in soil texture.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of crop production on the nitrogen (N) cycle and the need for better nitrogen management. It introduces factors that are currently ignored in traditional NUE indices and suggests ways to improve the conceptualization of NUE.
