Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Changes on Migration and Food Security of North Central Region, Nigeria

open access: yesLand, 2023
Food security is adversely affected by challenges posed by changes in land use and land cover (LULC). LULC change impacts ecosystem functions and services, leading to migration of people, particularly rural dwellers.

Bioenergy and global land-use change [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Economics, 2014
This is the first article that econometrically estimates the global land-use change impact of bioenergy. Applying time-series analytical mechanisms to fuel, biofuel and agricultural commodity prices and production, we estimate the long-run relationship between energy prices, bioenergy production and the global land-use change.

The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and their energy, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions implications: An overview

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents the overview of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and their energy, land use, and emissions implications. The SSPs are part of a new scenario framework, established by the climate change research community in order to ...

Non-Stationary Flood Frequency Analysis in the Ouémé River Basin, Benin Republic

open access: yesHydrology, 2015
A statistical model to predict the probability and magnitude of floods in non-stationary conditions is presented. The model uses a time-dependent and/or covariate-dependent generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution to fit the annual maximal (AM ...

Changes In Land Use/ Cover And Water Balance Components During 1964–2010 Period In The Mono River Basin, Togo-Benin

open access: yesGeography, Environment, Sustainability, 2023
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted that sub-tropical regions are more vulnerable to climate change’s negative effects (CC). Additionally, to CC, land use and land cover (LULC) changes and dam construction, often neglected, play ...
