Determinants of Community Participation in Collective Management of Natural Resources in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic ReviewNARA Subscribed
Community participation in collective management of environmental and natural resources is increasingly of interest among the sustainable development circles and scholarly discourse. There is theoretical consensus that sustainable management of natural resources is highly reliant on effective local community participation. In practice, however, realizing broad and active participation of local communities in a manner that is e...

Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
With growing demand for food production in Africa, protecting wetlands and combining increased agricultural production with conservation of the ecological integrity of wetlands is urgent. The role of aboveground biomass of papyrus ( Cyperus papyrus ) in the storage and retention of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) was studied in two wetland sites in East Africa under seasonally and permanently flooded conditions. Nyando wetland...
Capacity challenges in water quality monitoring: understanding the role of human developmentNARA Subscribed
Monitoring the qualitative status of freshwaters is an important goal of the international community, as stated in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) indicator 6.3.2 on good ambient water quality. Monitoring data are, however, lacking in many countries, allegedly because of capacity challenges of less-developed countries. So far, however, the relationship between human development and capacity challenges for water quality...
Nutrient enrichment homogenizes lake benthic assemblages at local and regional scalesNARA Subscribed
The compositional heterogeneity of biotic assemblages among sites, or β‐diversity, regulates the relationship between local and regional species diversity across scales. Recent work has suggested that increased harshness of environmental conditions tends to reduce β‐diversity by decreasing the importance of stochastic processes in structuring assemblages. We investigated the effect of nutrient enrichment on the compositional h...
