What induced farmers to protect and manage on-farm tree natural regeneration in Nigerien Dryland?
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 ...
Analyse des liens entre régénération des arbres, revenu et sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des petites exploitations agricoles en zone semi-aride dans l’Ouest du Burkina Faso
Dans un contexte marqué par les changements climatiques et une forte croissance démographique, les petites exploitations agricoles en Afrique subsaharienne restent confrontées au défi d’une production alimentaire suffisante ...
Population structure and regeneration status of Vitellaria Paradoxa (C. F. Gaertner) under different land management regimes in Atacora department
Vitellaria paradoxa (shea) parklands are one of the major features of the Sudanian savannah. Besides the parklands importance in terms of provision of ecosystem services, they play a major role in satisfying household ...
Factors influencing conservation of trees on farmland and silvicultural management activities in a Sudanian agro-ecosystem, West Africa
The loss of tree resources and low productivity of soil are the main environmental problems
affecting the livelihoods in developing countries. This paper reports a study of factors
influencing farmers’ decision to protect ...
Reactions of Adansonia digitata L. provenances to long-term stress at seedling stage
The effects of drought stress on growth parameters and dry matter partitioning of seven provenances (six from West Africa and one from East Africa) of Adansonia digitata L. were assessed in a seedling experiment in Burkina ...
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 ...
Linkage between tree regeneration and conservation and the effect on livelihood at DS benchmark site in Burkina Faso
Dataset collected in the study of the linkage between tree regeneration conservation and livelihood at DS benchmark site in Burkina Faso
Advances in knowledge of processes in soil–tree–crop interactions in parkland systems in the West African Sahel: A review
The ‘parklands’ that form the most widespread farming systems in the Sahelian zone of West Africa are
farming systems in which annual crops are grown under scattered trees preserved from the natural
vegetation by farmers ...

Field-scale modeling of tree–crop interactions: Challenges and development needs
Agroforestry has attracted considerable attention in recent years because of its potential to reduce poverty, improve
food security, reduce land degradation and mitigate climate change. However, progress in promoting ...
