Premier inventaire des macroinvertebres du fleuve Niger à Faranah en Guinée
Aïssatou Lamarana Bah, Idrissa Kabore, Lanciné Sangare, and Abdoulaye Barry
En Guinée, les ressources en eau subissent une pression anthropique. Les changements dans la qualité de l’eau peuvent avoir un impact sur la composition de la faune aquatique. A ce jour cette faune est pratiquement inconnue au fleuve Niger en Guinée. Notre recherche a été menée sur un parcours de 10 Km du fleuve au Centre-ville de Faranah. L’o(...)

Aboveground Biomass in West African Semi‐Arid Ecosystems: Structural Diversity, Taxonomic Contributions and Environmental Drivers
Kangbéni Dimobe, Shem Kuyah, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Ebagnerin Jérôme Tondoh, Adjima Thiombiano
The role of plant diversity and biomass in ecosystem functioning and management is well recognized. However, the structural drivers of aboveground biomass (AGB) and their influence across savanna ecosystems remain understudied, particularly in semi-arid regions. Here, we hypothesized that (i) species richness and structural diversity would pos(...)

Analysis of Aquatic macro invertebrate diversity in a Wetland: Bangr-wéogo Urban Park, in the Heart of Ouagadougou, the Capital of Burkina Faso
BANCE Victor, KABORE Idrissa, Daouda NAKENA, ZONGO Lionel Regis and OUEDA Adama
Wetlands are rare ecosystems in arid tropical regions, playing multiple ecological roles and providing
multiple ecosystem services. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are increasingly subject to strong anthropogenic
pressures resulting from high population growth and the effects of climate variability. A good knowledge of
the biodiversity o(...)

Bossila Séraphin Hien, Loyapin Bondé, Mohamed Mahamoud Charahabil, Sié Sylvestre Da, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. is a leguminous tree species with huge forage value. It is subjected to heavy pruning pressure in dry season for livestock feeding, resulting in yearly decline of forage production and vulnerability of the species which is currently classified as endangered species. This study aimed at: (i) identifying factors influ(...)

Basnewindé Ilboudo, Alhassane Zaré, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré, Loyapin Bondé, Reginald Tang Guuroh and Oumarou Ouédraogo
Livestock farming is one of the main socio-economic activities in West Africa, predominantly extensive and reliant on natural rangelands. In Burkina Faso, the pastoral zone creation process began in 1980 to sedentarize livestock farmers, reduce social conflict, and strengthen livestock production. Therefore, these areas were subjected to insti(...)
