During the second half of the 20th century the Sahel experienced one of the most striking shifts in climate known globally since instrumental records began to be kept-from anomalously abundant rains in the 1950's and 1960's ...
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. ...
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 ...

Les feux de brousse dont les effets dépendent aussi bien de leurs intensités ainsi que de leur saison
d’occurrence, sont considérés comme une perturbation écologique majeure des écosystèmes savanicoles.

How climate-smart is the FMNR practice: co-benefits that lead to food security in Niger drylands
Farmer Managed Regeneration (FMR) is a set of practices used by farmers on agricultural land to develop the growth of native trees. FMNR is reported to deliver a number of positive impacts, increasing incomes through the ...
