Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to severely impact the global hydrological cycle,
particularly in tropical regions where agriculture-based economies depend on monsoon …

Tertiary and later igneous activity is common on and around the Tanzanian craton, with
primitive magma compositions ranging from kimberlites and varieties of picrites through …

Eastern Africa is a key region for studying archaeological, palaeontological, and ecological
movements. This region hosts critical developments in hominin and human evolution, the …

Aim It is not yet clear whether similar mechanisms influence the assembly of ecological
communities across different continents. Here, we investigated the functional and …

Observations of active dike intrusions provide present day snapshots of the magmatic
contribution to continental rifting. However, unravelling the contributions of upper crustal …

The age of a clade has been estimated by using the age of its oldest fossils, the age of
islands or strata that the clade is endemic to, and the age of tectonic events that are spatially …

Tropical ecosystems are under increasing pressure of land‐use changes, strongly affecting
the carbon cycle. Conversion from natural to agri‐cultural ecosystems is often accompanied …

Abstract Aim East Africa is one of the most biologically diverse regions, especially in terms of
endemism and species richness. Hypotheses put forward to explain this high diversity …

In this study, we quantify the impacts of climate and land use on soil N2O and CH 4 fluxes
from tropical forest, agroforest, arable and savanna ecosystems in Africa. To do so, we …

Abstract The Eastern Rift System (ERS) of northern Tanzania and southern Kenya, where a
cratonic lithosphere is in the early stages of rifting, offers an ideal venue for investigating the …
