Influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère autour des aires protégées du complexe Pô-Nazinga-Sissili au Burkina Faso
Adama Zoungrana, Marjolein Visser, Charles de Cannière, Pingdewindé Carine Ouédraogo, Babou André Bationo & Salifou Traoré
La compréhension des moteurs de la fragmentation paysagère est indispensable pour réduire l’impact de l’anthropisation des habitats et mieux préserver la biodiversité. Cependant, l’écologie du paysage seule ne permet pas de cerner l’influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère. Cette étude adopte donc une approche systémique q(...)

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers] intercropping improves grain yield, fodder biomass, and nutritive value.
Sanfo A, Zampaligré N, Delma JB, Kulo AE, Ouédraogo A, Esteban F. R, Jose´ D, Ken BJ and Adegbola A
Burkina Faso livestock feeding is characterized by a hot dry season fodder deficit,
which affects animal performance and causes economic losses. To overcome this
challenge, improving quality fodder production through the use of dual-purpose
crops is a potential alternative. Hence, this study aimed at testing dual-purpose
cultivars of sorgh(...)

Farmers’ Perception of Indigenous Seasonal Forecast Indicators in North Central Burkina Faso
KABORE Pamalba Narcise, ZON Aboubacar-Oumar, BAMBARA Dasmané, KOUSSOUBE Souleymane, OUEDRAOGO Amadé
West African Sahel is one of the most exposed areas to the adverse effects of climate variability in the world. All agricultural production system s are affected. However, farmers use indigenous knowledge that enable them to make short, medium, and long term seasonal predictions in order to adapt their agricultural calendar to these climatic r(...)

Modeling Extreme Floods Susceptibility Using The GeneralizedExtreme Value Distribution: Case Study Of Gonse And Wayen Burkina Faso
Bontogho Tog-Noma Patricia Emma, Maré Boussa Tockville, Gaba Olayemi Ursula Charlène, BiaoIboukoun Eliézer
Abstract – Over recentes decades, Burkina Faso has experienced extremes events such as droughts and floods. In this study, floodfrequency has been ascertained based on Generalized Extreme Value (GEV). To this end, discharge data from Gonse and Wayenstations are collected from the National Center for Water resources. The period of analysis goes(...)

Exploring the landscape scale influences of tree cover on crop yield in an agroforestry parkland using satellite data and spatial statistics
Martin Karlson, David Bolin, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Abraham Sotongo Ouedraogo, Boukary Soro, Josias Sanou, Jules Bayala, Madelene Ostwald
Trees in agroforestry parklands influence crops both through competitive and facilitative mechanism, but the
effects are challenging to disentangle due to the complexity of the system with high variability in tree cover
structure and species diversity and crop combinations. Focusing on a landscape in central Burkina Faso dominated
by Vitell(...)

Diachronic study by spatial remote sensing of changes in plant cover in mining sites in the Poura gold mine
Pagnangdé Bertrand TAPSOBA, Sambo OUEDRAOGO, Georges DAO and Joseph BOUSSIM
During the decade 2010-2020, Burkina Faso experienced a significant mining boom. However, this phenomenon, although presenting enormous opportunities, is also a source of pollution and considerable negative impacts on vegetation. This study, carried out on the site of a former mine in Burkina Faso (Poura and surrounding artisanal sites) aims t(...)

Assessing Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning in Croplands in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Pawend-taoré Christian Bougma , Loyapin Bondé , Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro, Amanuel Woldeselassie Gebremichael, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Agricultural biomass burning plays a critical role in carbon emissions, with implications for climate change. This study aims to assess carbon (C) emissions and establish C, CO, CO2 and CH4 emission factors (EFs) by simultaneously testing the effects of climatic conditions and cropland category on gas emissions. In Burkina Faso, 96 experimenta(...)
