East-African savanna dynamics: from a knowledge-based model to the possible futures of a social-ecological system

2021-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Sub-Saharan savanna ecosystems are undergoing transitions such as bush encroachment, desertification or agricultural expansion. Such shifts and persistence of land cover are increasingly well understood, especially bush encroachment which is of major concern in pastoral systems. Although dominant factors can explain such transformations, they often result from intertwined causes in which human activities play a si...
