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(...)
