Background Mortality from external causes, of all kinds, is an important component of overall mortality on a global basis. However, these deaths, like others in Africa and Asia, are often not counted or documented on an individual basis. Overviews of the state of external cause mortality in Africa and Asia are therefore based on uncertain info(...)

Impact of sheet erosion mechanisms on organic carbon losses from crusted soils in the Sahel
S.B. Maïga-Yaleu, P. Chivenge, H. Yacouba, I. Guiguemde, H. Karambiri, O. Ribolzi, A. Bary, V. Chaplot
Soil surface crusting influences water infiltration and runoff but its impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) losses by sheet erosion is largely unknown. Because there are different mechanisms of sheet erosion, from raindrop detachment and transport by raindrops interacting with flow (RIFT), to detachment and transport by flow, that require a cer(...)

Niveau et facteurs de ruptures des premières unions conjugales au Burkina Faso
GNOUMOU THIOMBIANO BIlampoa et LEGRAND Thomas K.
Contrairement aux autres régions du monde, la problématique des ruptures d’unions conjugales est encore peu documentée en Afrique subsaharienne. Le manque de données appropriées peut expliquer cette situation. En effet, ce type d’analyse nécessite des données d’histoires de vie rarement collectées en Afrique. Dans cet article nous avons utilis(...)

Assessing ecosystem services based on indigenous knowledge in south-eastern Burkina Faso (West Africa)
B. NACOULMA
Ecosystems are sources of services such as food, water, timber, firewood, health, and spiritual benefits. The unsustainable human use of ecosystems has led to significant declines in the capability of these ecosystems to provide services. In contribution to the preservation of ecosystems, this study aims to assess the potential ecosystem servi(...)
