and globally significant, spanning across all continents in the tropical belt. Favourable climatic and soil conditions as well as strong altitudinal gradients result in high diversity. However, high population densities, in particular in mountainous ecosystems, also result in a high demand for ecosystem services. High-elevation landscapes are hotspots of biodiversity and endemism and hold significant potential for soil health through the ecosystems they encompass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tropical landscapes include a diverse array of ecosystems, ranging from montane forests to grasslands. In East Africa, the Albertine Rift is home to over 50% of continental Africa&#8217;s bird species, despite comprising less than 1% of the continent&#8217;s land area. The Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania and Kenya, despite covering only 5,000 km\u00b2, contain over 1,500 endemic plant species and 121 endemic vertebrate species. These examples highlight the extraordinary concentration of biodiversity and underscore their global significance for conservation efforts. Tropical\u00a0ecosystems are critical for regulating upstream and downstream processes such as the supply of clean water, regulation of local climate and maintaining soil fertility and slope stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The higher elevations capture moisture from cloud forests, which are then slowly released to surrounding lowland areas, providing ecosystem services such as water storage and purification. In East African landscapes,<em><i>\u00a0i.e<\/i><\/em>. Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon, and Mount Kilimanjaro, impacts of land use change on ecosystem services including food, fodder, energy, soil fertility, and carbon sequestration are reported. These significantly influence the environmental and socio-economic dynamics of the regions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tropical ecosystems are under increasing pressure from a variety of external drivers and stressors, such as agricultural encroachment, population growth, poverty, expansion of invasive species, and accelerating climate change. These threats are leading to severe degradation, impacting ecosystem services, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of the communities. Despite their importance and critical vulnerability to land degradation, tropical ecosystems and their prominent diversity remain critical.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This conference aims to unravel the interconnected problems of understanding <strong><b>threats to soil health and <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>socio-ecological dynamics<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0in tropical ecosystems to <strong><b>meet emerging local and <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>international sustainable development and conservation goals<\/b><\/strong>. Recent international agreements highlight the need to develop and support the implementation of ambitious approaches and programmes at national and regional levels anchored in the Paris Agreement and other multilateral climate change agreements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This conference is an opportunity for the research community to disseminate information that will contribute to the <strong><b>effective implementation of these agreements and guiding conservation action<\/b><\/strong>. Hence, the Conference mostly welcomes soil scientists, environmental and social scientists, educationists, planners, policy makers, land use and health organisations interested in research and innovations to support knowledge <strong><b>transformations for promoting ecosystem resilience of tropical ecosystems<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0in the tropics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1874&#8243;

This immersive journey will take participants through the North-Eastern Arc Mountains, where they will witness Acrisols developing on ancient Precambrian basement rocks, predominantly composed of diverse quartz-rich gneiss. A key highlight of the excursion is a visit to the Korogwe-Muheza zone, the heart of Tanzania\u2019s sisal industry. Here, participants will observe the original setup of sisal land-use systems, which have played a pivotal role in the country\u2019s agricultural and economic history. Another fascinating feature of the transect is the Pangani River Plain, home to extensive Gypsisols formations derived from unconsolidated alluvial and colluvial deposits rich in weathered base materials. These soils support the gypsum mining industry, providing crucial raw materials for Tanzania\u2019s cement production. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to appreciate a remarkable piece of history-the German-built railway, constructed in 1891, which connects the port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean to the inland, passing along the scenic Usambara and Pare Mountains. This railway remains a testament to Tanzania\u2019s rich colonial-era infrastructure and its influence on regional trade and development.
