Journal ArticleDOI
Soils: A Contemporary Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approach combining digital soil maps, pedotransfer functions, remote sensing, spectral analysis, and soil inference systems for simultaneous characterization of various chemical, physical, and biological properties to overcome the great limitations and costs of conventional methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil condition classification using infrared spectroscopy: A proposition for assessment of soil condition along a tropical forest-cropland chronosequence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the ability of near infrared spectroscopy to detect changes in soil properties across a forest-cropland chronosequence; and develop a heuristic scheme for the application of IR as a tool for case definition and diagnostic screening of soil condition for agricultural and environmental management.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated risk and vulnerability assessment framework for climate change and malaria transmission in East Africa.
TL;DR: An integrated risk and vulnerability assessment framework that considers indicators of both biophysical and social vulnerability was proposed and can be implemented using Bayesian Belief Networks, and applied at a community level using both quantitative and qualitative methods with stakeholder engagement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of topsoil carbon and nitrogen along a tropical forest–cropland chronosequence: Evidence from stable isotope analysis and spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of δ13C and δ15N abundances and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to evaluate the changes in SOC and total nitrogen (TN) content along a forest-cropland chronosequence in the margins of Kakamega forest in Kenya.
