Monitoring land cover dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa : a Pilot Study using Earth Observing Satellite Data from 1975 and 2000
human welfare (Foley et al. 2005). In many developing countries populations are heavily dependant on freshwater, forests croplands and fisheries (Homer-Dixon and Blitt 1998) to which we should add pastures. Shortages in these sectors can give rise to increased poverty, environmental refugees (Jacobson, 1988) and even conflict. Some authorities have even suggested a new age of insecurity (HomerDixon, 1991 ), the so-called “neo-Malthusian” theory. There is a growing body of literature on environmental scarcity and conflict (Raleigh and Urdal, 2005, Urdal, 2005) which reflects not only cur ...

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 91. Interactions Between Climate and Biological Diversity
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Korsakova S.; Gringoryan V.; et al. - WMO, 2003 (WMO/TD-No. 1166)The potential impact of climate change on biological diversity is overshadowed by the overwhelming effect of human-induced modifications of terrestrial ecosystems that are responsible for major losses in biological diversity. Therefore, it is necessary to discriminate between the more immediate and more obvious effects of habitat modification by humans and the longer-term, more subtle effects of climate change. Despite varying opinion about the nature and extent of the impact of climate change on biological diversity, there is a general agreement that biological diversity will decline worldw ...
