Comparison of aboveground vegetation and soil seed bank composition at sites of different grazing intensity around a savanna-woodland watering point in West Africa
Grazing removes a plant’s aboveground vegetative and reproductive tissues and can modify the soil seed bank, potentially impacting the restoration of preferred species. Knowledge about aboveground vegetation and species ...
Farmers’ awareness and perception of climate change impacts: case study of Aguie district in Niger
The agricultural sector is the main source of rural households’ food and revenue in Niger, and it contributes approximately 43% to the national GDP. However, there are several constraints to the sector’s development, ...
Achieving Food Security and Reducing Poverty through Land Restoration

Communities of Practice - Creating and Sharing Knowledge
The Communities of Practice aim to foster relationships, develop learning situated in practice, and create and share new knowledge to restore degraded land. The goal of the project is to reduce food insecurity and improve ...
Contrasting land use systems influence soil seed bank composition and density in a rural landscape mosaic in West Africa
Soil seed banks (SSBs) play a key role in the post-disturbance recruitment of many plant species. Seed bank diversity can be influenced by spatial and environmental variability and disturbance heterogeneity across the ...
