Conservation agriculture with trees (CAWT) is one of the best-bet strategies for enhanced
soil quality under extensive and intensive smallholder farming. CAWT is an agroforestry …

Soil water conservation in dryland agriculture mainly depends on precipitation. We chose 35
long‐term experiments and analysed the data by using meta‐analysis to check how fallow …

Abstract Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in Africa, covering 66% of the continent and are
home to around 200 million people, face significant water scarcity challenges due to harsh …

Conservation agriculture is widely promoted for soil conservation and crop productivity
increase, although rigorous empirical evidence from sub-Saharan Africa is still limited. This …

Considering the current threatening conditions of climate change, Climate Smart Agriculture
(CSA) aims to improve the soil health and its organic carbon stocks by encouraging soil …

Although no-till (NT) has been promoted as an alternative land management practice to
conventional tillage (CT), its impact on water quality, especially nitrate (NO3−) loss remain …

In the semi-humid to arid loess plateau areas of North China, water is the limiting factor for
rain-fed crop yields. Conservation tillage has been proposed to improve soil and water …

Soil infiltration properties (SIPs) and their spatial variability are essential for simulating
hydrologic and erosion processes. Intensive water erosion likely leads to large spatial …

Global cereal production must be increased by∼ 50% by 2050. Crop yields in sub‐Saharan
Africa and South Asia have either stagnated or declined since the 1990s because of the …

Most smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Kenya have been experiencing a
decrease in crop yields in the recent decades. Droughts and prolonged dry spells are …
