Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes how land use and land cover (LULC) changes, alongside climate change, affect hydrology and soil erosion in the Dano catchment in Burkina Faso, utilizing historical and future modeling based on land use data from 1990 to 2030.
- By simulating scenarios with constant climate and changing LULC, the research finds increases in water yield (3.6%-46.5%) and sediment yield (-3.3%-52.6%).
- The results indicate that while climate change has a significant effect on hydrology and sediment yield, changes in LULC can strongly amplify these impacts, leading to a combined increase in water yield (20.3%-73.4%) and sediment
