    Re-Examining the 'More People Less Erosion' Hypothesis: Special Case or Wider Trend?
    (2000) Boyd, Charlotte; Slaymaker, Tom
    "Recent research into natural resource rehabilitation based on in-depth case studies has highlighted situations where population growth and agricultural intensification have been accompanied by improved rather than deteriorating soil and water resources. Drawing on new case studies in six countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda), this paper examines how widespread are the prospects for positive outcomes of the 'more people, less erosion' type."

    (2007) Longley, Catherine; Christoplos, Ian; Slaymaker, Tom; Meseka, Silvestro
