Ecosystem management can mitigate vegetation shifts induced byclimate change in West Africa
tThe welfare of people in the tropics and sub-tropics strongly depends on goods and services that savannaecosystems supply, such as food and livestock production, fuel wood, and climate regulation. Flows ofthese services ...
Relationships between soil seed banks and above-ground vegetation along a disturbance gradient in the W National Park trans-boundary biosphere reserve, West Africa
Aims
Vegetation succession depends on the availability of suitable propagules
in the soils, thus knowledge of soil seed banks is essential
for formulating effective strategies for restoring the vegetation of
degraded sites. ...
Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale
The present document is a brief technical report highlighting activities relating to the options by context approach. The IFAD- funded project, “Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East ...

Gender Differentiated Preferences for a Community-Based Conservation Initiative
Community-based conservation (CBC) aims to benefit local people as well as to achieve
conservation goals, but has been criticised for taking a simplistic view of “community” and
failing to recognise differences in the ...
Food banks and technology parks
The indigenous fruit and vegetable trees of Mali in the Drylands of the West African Sahel grow in varied but well adapted environments. The highly diverse indigenous trees are year-round sources of food and nutrition ...
Meat and milk production scenarios and the associated land footprint in Kenya

Spatial Variation in Tree Density and Estimated Aboveground Carbon Stocks in Southern Africa
Variability in woody plant species, vegetation assemblages and anthropogenic activities derails the efforts to have common approaches for estimating biomass and carbon stocks in Africa. In order to suggest management ...
Perspectives in restoration: storage and pretreatments of seeds for better germination of Sudanian savanna-woodland species
Insufficient knowledge of the germination
ecology of local species is one of the main constraints to
restoration of degraded rural lands. We tested seeds from
fourteen Sudanian savanna species targeted for restoration
for ...
