Status of the World’s Soil Resources. Chapter 9: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Africa South of the Sahara
This is Chapter 9, "Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Africa South of the Sahara," of the report <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5199e.pdf"><i>Status of the World’s Soil Resources. </i></a> <p>Land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is believed to be expanding at an alarming rate, accompanied by the lowest agriculture and livestock yields of any region in the world. While cereal production has increased marginally over the past two decades, more than 70 percent of this growth is due t o area expansion rather than yield increases.Various aspects of soil change and its impact in the region are discussed in this chapter. National case studies of soil change are given for Senegal and South Africa. </p> <p>The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:</p> <ul><li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc589e.pdf">Introductory information</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc590e.pdf">Chapter 1: Introduction</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc591e.pdf">Chapter 2: The role of soils in ecosystem processes </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc592e.pdf">Chapter 3: Global Soil Resources</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc593e.pdf">Chapter 4: Soils and Humans</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc594e.pdf">Chapter 5: Drivers of global soil change</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc595e.pdf">Chapter 6: Global soil status, processes and trends</a></li> <li><a href="http:// www.fao.org/3/a-bc596e.pdf">Chapter 7: Soil change: impacts and responses</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc597e.pdf">Chapter 8: Governance and policy responses to soil change</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc598e.pdf">Chapter 9: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Africa South of the Sahara</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc599e.pdf">Chapter 10: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in Asia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc600e.pdf">Chapter 11: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Europe and Eurasia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc601e.pdf">Chapter 12: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Latin America and the Caribbean</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc602e.pdf">Chapter 13: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in the Near East and North Africa</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc603e.pdf">Chapter 14: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in North America</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao. org/3/a-bc604e.pdf">Chapter 15: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in the Southwest Pacific</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc605e.pdf">Chapter 16: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in Antarctica</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc606e.pdf">Annex: Soil groups, characteristics, distribution and ecosystem services</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc607e.pdf">Glossary of Technical Terms</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc608e.pdf">Authors and affili ations</a></li></ul> <p> Also available: <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5126e.pdf"><i>Technical Summary of the Status of the World’s Soil Resources.</i></a></p>
