The INDEPTH standard population for low-and middle-income countries, 2013
B. SOURA
Crude rates such as the crude death rate are functions of both the age-specific rates and the age composition of a population.

Impact of sheet erosion mechanisms on organic carbon losses from crusted soils in the Sahel
S.B. Maïga-Yaleu, P. Chivenge, H. Yacouba, I. Guiguemde, H. Karambiri, O. Ribolzi, A. Bary, V. Chaplot
Soil surface crusting influences water infiltration and runoff but its impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) losses by sheet erosion is largely unknown. Because there are different mechanisms of sheet erosion, from raindrop detachment and transport by raindrops interacting with flow (RIFT), to detachment and transport by flow, that require a cer(...)
