Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of shrubs on soil characteristics and their function in Sahelian agro-ecosystems in semi-arid Niger
TL;DR: In this paper, different shrub species in fallow sites following a gradient from 350-650 mm precipitation were examined and two different areas were distinguished: an area under the canopy of the shrubs and an area in the nearby open land.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) is a major international campaign investigating far-reaching aspects of the African monsoon, climate and the hydrological cycle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of iron oxides in mineral dust aerosols: Implications for light absorption
TL;DR: In this article, a volume fraction of iron oxides in aggregates was determined from measurements and significant differences in the single-scattering albedo, ω0, were found between hematite- and goethite-clay aggregates, although these calculations involved several important assumptions about the partition of hematites and Goethite in size-resolved aggregates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement and data analysis methods for field‐scale wind erosion studies and model validation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline important principles to consider in conducting large scale wind erosion studies and propose strategies of windblown sediment data collection for use in model validation and development, including consideration of sediment characteristics, sediment sampling, and meteorological stations.
