Understanding farm trajectories and development pathways Two decades of change in southern Mali
Institutional support for smallholders has been themotor for the expanding cotton production sector in southern
Mali since the 1970s. Smallholder farms exhibit diverse resource endowments and little is known on how ...
The effect of trees on preferential flow and soil infiltrability in an agroforestry parkland in semiarid Burkina Faso
Water scarcity constrains the livelihoods of millions of people in tropical drylands. Tree planting
in these environments is generally discouraged due to the large water consumption by trees, but this view
may neglect their ...
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 ...
Inter- and intra-provenances variations in seed size and seedling characteristics of Khaya senegalensis A. Juss in Burkina Faso
Within- and between-provenance variations
in seed and seedling traits of Khaya senegalensis
A. Juss were studied at INERA in Burkina Faso.
Nursery grown seedlings from four provenances in
Burkina Faso were used for the ...
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 ...
