WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 3.3 Farmers´ priorities and perceptions of climate change and the evaluation of local adaptation strategies (Project)
This WP studies the interdependent processes of how climate change is locally perceived, the major determinants of innovativeness for adaptation; and the performance of coping and adaptation measures to increase livelihoods resilience.

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 4.3 Income from Carbon Markets (Project)
Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) and the enhancement of forest stocks within a REDD+ framework or under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) can be powerful instruments for West African countries with high deforestation rates for income generation and to shape landscapes and increase resilience to climate change through provision of ecosystem services. Much of...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 5.1 Risk Assessment and Analysis (Project)
The 4th assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicated that climate-related hazards worldwide will manifest themselves in higher frequencies and magnitudes in the coming decades. These climate change-related hazards will potentially have serious negative impacts for communities and ecosystems in Africa which has been identified as one of the most vulnerable...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 5.2 Economic Evaluation of Risk Management Strategies (Project)
Climate change may affect agricultural households and communities in West Africa in different ways, depending on the direction of the change and on the preparedness of the household. High risk aversion of agents in the agricultural sector of low-income countries often hampers the spread of innovative technologies or farming practices. Risk-management instruments, like investment in better...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 6.1 Development of a spatially explicit framework for land use impact modeling based on trade-off- and multi criteria analysis (Project)
The resilience of the SES depends on multiple drivers that all influence the supply of regulating, supporting and provisioning ecosystem services. Based on a set of indicators for the relevant bio-physical and socio-economic driving forces of the SES, the likely implications of different development scenarios in combination with future climate projections will be analyzed within an integrated...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 6.2 Agent-based models for integrated assessment (Project)
The overall aim of WASCAL is to identify resilient and adaptive/adapted land-use systems and how these can be fostered. We substantiated this aim through the proposed work package by the sub-goal to identify resilient long-term land-use strategies of land users. As resilience is largely determined by the dynamics and feedbacks within and between the social, the economic and the environmental...

Collaborative project: Development of a resistance breeding method for the host pathogen system potato/ Rhizoctonia solani and the development of an application strategy for a fungal antagonist for the reduction of the soilborne and tuberborne inoculums - Subproject 2 (Project)
Quality deficiencies of potato tubers caused by Rhizoctonia solani are one of the main reasons for refusal of production charges by the processing industry. The cultivation of resistant cultivars is an efficient control strategy. Hence, the main goal of the project was to establish a test method which does allow the reliable characterization of the resistance level in potato cultivars against R....
