Changes within Small-Scale Agriculture. A Case-Study from the Southwestern Tanzania. Web of Science [v.5.25.1] - Web of Science Core Collection Full Record. Volume: Issue: Pages: Published: View Journal Impact Impact Factor Data from the 2016 edition of Journal Citation Reports Publisher CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 40 WEST 20TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10011-4211 Research Domain Abstract The effects of temperature (14-19 degrees C) and mean soil water deficit (up to 90 mm) on the shoot extension and development rates of six contrasting tea clones in southern Tanzania were studied 10-28 months after field-planting.
Clonal differences in the values of T-be (8.9-11.3 degrees C) and rho(c) (7.8-11.8 x 10(-3) mm mm(-1) (degrees Cd)(-1)) can be used to explain differences in the seasonal distributions of yield.

Climate change responses among the Maasai Community in Kenya. Generation of climate change scenarios for precipitation and temperature at local scales using SDSM in Wami-Ruvu River Basin Tanzania.
The Wami-Ruvu River Basin is important for socio-economic activities in country such as water supply for Dar es Salaam and Morogoro cities, and major agricultural activities such as sugarcane irrigation at Mtibwa and Bagamoyo. Due to projected climate change and its impacts at global scale, it is important to understand future climate change impacts on water resources of Wami-Ruvu River basin. Rainfall and temperature are key variables for analysis of water resources and were used in this study. The statistical downscaling model (SDSM) was used to downscale the coarse global circulation model (GCM) to local scales by involving predictor predictand relationship. The predictor variables were selected based on partial correlation value (partial r) and significance value (p-value). For assessment of climate change, the baseline period was 30 years during 1961–1990. The calibrated SDSM model was then used to downscale Global Circulation Model (GCM) scenario data to the local scales.

Our results indicate significant positive simultaneous and non-zero lag correlations between rainfall over parts of East Africa and lower equatorial stratospheric zonal wind during the months of March-May and June-August.
