The influence of land use on the dynamics of native soil nitrogen at watershed scale in West Africa

Copy Link
Coordinating organisation: Plant Nutrition in the Tropics and Subtropics
Description: Quantify seasonal dynamics of N along transects in an model inland valley and nitrate dynamics during the dry-to-wet transition season in 27 valleys of major categories of West Africa.
Establish interactions between slope characteristics and N dynamics at different scales.
Determine the effect of agricultural land use on the N balance of valley segments and the whole watershed
Develop a simple tool, predicting N fluxes and crop N use in a watershed as a function of land use.
Extrapolate at sub-regional scale the extent of N dynamics and the potential impact of available land use management strategies .
