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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
