Impact of changing land cover on the production and ecological functions of vegetation in inland valleys in west africa

Objective

The project aims at the development of a watershed-level land use planning tool for sustainable inland valley system development. The tool to be developed will balance improved agricultural production systems with production and conservation functions of areas under natural and fallow vegetation. To be able to develop such tool, information will be collected on the impact of land clearing on the natural resource base, the economic importance of gathered products from natural land compared to agricultural production, and how agricultural production systems can be optimised. For promising production systems attainable yields will be estimated and input-output relations will be established to estimate the effect ofther various parameters on the production. Through the GIS-interface the spatial effects of various land use scenarios on production and the impact on the natural resource base can be estimated and visualised.
