FtF Climate-Smart Agroforestry Technologies Scaling-up in Mali
Scaling-up Climate-Smart Agroforestry Technologies for improved market access, food and nutritional security in Mali (SmAT-Scaling) aims at strengthening the value chain of tree products, improving the nutritional status ...
Cereal yield response to conservation agriculture practices in drylands of West Africa: A quantitative synthesis
To address the decline in crop productivity in the drylands ofWest Africa, many initiatives have focused on
combating soil degradation. Various practices including (1) parkland trees associated with crops, (2)
coppicing ...
Parklands for buffering climate risk and sustaining agricultural production in the Sahel of West Africa
In the Sahelian zone of West Africa, crops grown under a
discontinuous cover of scattered trees dominate many
landscapes and constitute the so-called parklands. These
systems reflect the ecological knowledge of the farmers ...
Provenance variation in seed- and seedling-related traits in survival, growth and dry matter partitioning of Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra, a potential agroforestry species, in response to water stress
Many wild plant food resources are eaten across Africa in addition to the more commonly known agricultural food (Mojeremane and Tshweenyane, 2004). The significance that edible wild indigenous plants make to the diets of ...
Restoration of Degraded Lands in Mali: a review on lessons learnt and opportunities for scaling
The rapid growing population and the need of economic development is leading to a number of environmental issues, notably forest and degradation of land, resource depletion (water, mineral, forest), environmental degradation, ...
Crop production under different rainfall and management conditions in agroforestry parkland systems in Burkina Faso: observations and simulation with WaNuLCAS model
Traditional agroforestry parkland systems
in Burkina Faso are under threat due to human
pressure and climate variability and change, requiring
a better understanding for planning of adaptation.
Field experiments were ...
Plan Comparison Protocol: Tree Planting in Burkina Faso
Balanites aegyptiaca is a native tree species in the West African Sahel and provide food, fodder, medicine, wood for fuel, construction and other essential products (Orwa 2009, Arbonnier 2000). It belongs to the family ...
Soil organic carbon stocks in semi-arid West African drylands: implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation
In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline ...
