Ecological dynamics\r\nare thought to determine the impact of rainfall, and this hypothesis is\r\ntested through the comparison of populations either side of a major\r\necological boundary between heavy clay rich and sandy soils.\r\nDue to differences in soil-moisture productivity relations, and the level\r\nand form of ecological heterogeneity, the sandveld environment shows much\r\nless seasonal and inter-annual variation in agro-ecological productivity\r\nthan does clayveld, and this is reflected in food supply and consumption.\r\nChild anthropometric and birth weight data from several years shows\r\nopposite seasonality, and weight-loss in a serious drought was most\r\nmarked on clay-rich soils as predicted. Differences in soil-moisture\r\nrelations also influence disease environment dynamics; child morbidity\r\nshows the same seasonal and inter-annual contrasts between the zones as\r\nfound with nutritional status. Furthermore, infant mortality is increased\r\nfollowing dry years on clay-rich soils whilst high rainfall leads to\r\nincreased infant mortality on the sandy soils. These differences in\r\nwelfare dynamics between sandveld and clayveld appear to typify conditions\r\nin other moist and dry savannah areas respectively.\r\nVariability in grain production results from unequal access to livestock\r\nfor ploughing and manure, but urban wage labour derived remittances also\r\naffect wealth. The extent and nature of socio-economic differentiation\r\nvaries between ecological zones for historical reasons, and its impact on\r\nwelfare (together with that of religion and maternal education) is variable\r\nand complex, operating at several levels in household and lineage.\r\nMaternal education has a marked impact on child well-being, particularly\r\nupon infant mortality. Dramatic improvements in Infant mortality and\r\ndeclines in fertility since Independence (1980) reflect upgrading of\r\nmedical services and education provision for women, Indicating the limits\r\nof ecological welfare determinants."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/date> "1990" . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/27426> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/27427> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-e0336bfdce3bed31b4404d0bb2d92101> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-e0336bfdce3bed31b4404d0bb2d92101> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "University of London"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-e0336bfdce3bed31b4404d0bb2d92101> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-38b2569a243ca87e7d05ac7a23ef3f47> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-38b2569a243ca87e7d05ac7a23ef3f47> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Anthropology, University of London"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-38b2569a243ca87e7d05ac7a23ef3f47> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-e0336bfdce3bed31b4404d0bb2d92101> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-38b2569a243ca87e7d05ac7a23ef3f47> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-e0336bfdce3bed31b4404d0bb2d92101> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasPart> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-38b2569a243ca87e7d05ac7a23ef3f47> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status/unpublished> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1317940#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "K.B."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "Wilson"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-70696a0d97966098f9cf057d384fd408> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "K.B.
