‘‘Faidherbia-Flux’’: A long-term Collaborative Observatory on food security, GHG fluxes, ecosystem services, mitigation and adaptation in a semi-arid agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystem (groundnut basin in Niakhar/Sob, Senegal)

Abstract

This platform aims to foster agro-silvo-pastoralism and sustainable intensification research, through a Collaborative & highly instrumented Observatory, run the Observatory on the long term (> 10 years), through projects, assess ecosystem services, NPP, GHG (CO2 , H2O, N2O, CH4 ) fluxes and balances, 4‰, crop yield (millet, groundnut, cowpea…), the role of livestock, the effects of management options.
