The main objective of the research that led to this book was to determine the interactions between farming systems and human mobility in this region of Cameroon. A comparative study was conducted through household and field surveys in three villages and conceptualized based on the systems approach. The different types of mobility were influenced by household social factors, the quest for 'high valued' farm plots and hired labour. Urban-rural migration contributed to occupation diversification and social mobility. The sustainability factor was a function of land use intensity, intensity of off-farm inputs, the household adjustment factor and mobility of the household. The sacred groves were rich in plant diversity of varied ecological and economic importance. Nitrogen mining was common at all levels of the farming system. These determinants and types of mobility claims are pertinent to the research area; the sustainability results of the farming systems reflect the reality on the ground; the nutrient flux evaluated at the crop and farm levels constitute a valuable database for future research.Agricultural systemsCameroonAgricultureHuman geographyMigration, InternalElectronic books.Agricultural systemsAgriculture.Human geography.Migration, Internal.338.1096711Tankou Christopher Mubeteneh980905MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464699403321The interactions of human mobility and farming systems on biodiversity and soil quality in the western highlands of Cameroon2238418UNINA02553oam 2200589 c 450 991096281150332120260102090118.03-657-76023-79783657760237(CKB)5590000000429546(MiAaPQ)EBC6538982(Au-PeEL)EBL6538982(OCoLC)1246580347(Brill | Schöningh)9783657760237(Brill | Schöningh)9783657760237(EXLCZ)99559000000042954620260102d2020 uy 0gerurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierForschungen zur baltischen Geschichte15 (2020)Karsten Brüggemann, Mati Laur1st ed.PaderbornBrill | Schöningh20201 online resource (312 pages)Forschungen zur baltischen Geschichte153-506-76023-8 Die Forschungen zur baltischen Geschichte (FzbG) ist eine seit 2006 erscheinende Publikationsreihe der estnischen Akademischen Historischen Gesellschaft (Akadeemiline ajalooselts). Sie verstehen sich als ein akademisches Journal im Bereich der historischen area studies. Über den jeweils engen sprachlichen Rahmen der einzelnen Staaten Estland, Lettland und Litauen hinaus soll nicht zuletzt die innerbaltische fachliche Kommunikation gefördert werden. Die FzbG pflegen einen regionalen Schwerpunkt auf dem „historischen“ Baltikum (Estland, Livland und Kurland, d.h. ungefähr die heutigen Republiken Estland und Lettland), doch sind auch Beiträge zur litauischen Geschichte willkommen. Der zeitliche Rahmen der Artikel reicht aber von der Frühzeit bis zur post-sowjetischen Periode. Darüber hinaus sind insbesondere Beiträgen willkommen, die sich mit den überregionalen Zusammenhängen in Nordosteuropa auseinandersetzen.Forschungen Zur Baltischen Geschichte Series ;Volume 15.EstlandLettlandLitauenLivlandKurlandBaltikumEstlandLettlandLitauenLivlandKurlandBaltikum336.7305Brüggemann KarstenedtLaur MatiedtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962811503321Forschungen Zur Baltischen Geschichte3936811UNINA
