Kadidiatou Coulibaly, Aboubakar Sako & Lambiénou Yé
A total of 30 topsoil, subsoil samples, and 11 new and used cupels were collected around a Pb fusion fire-assay laboratory in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and their physico-chemical parameters and major and potentially toxic (PTE) element concentrations were determined. The results showed that the soil samples in the immediate vicinity of the us(...)

Phylogenetic diversity and community wide-trait means offer different insights into mechanisms regulating aboveground carbon storage
Sylvanus Mensah, Kangbéni Dimobe , Florent Noulèkoun , Fons van der Plas, Thomas Seifert
Both attributes of functional traits and phylogenetic diversity influence ecosystem functions, but which of these factors is most important is still poorly understood in natural systems. Using data from West African forests and tree savannas, we analyse how (i) phylogenetic diversity complements attributes of functional traits in explaining ab(...)

Séquestration du carbone et provision d’autres services écosystémiques des parcs agroforestiers à karité au Burkina Faso
Kangbéni Dimobe, Jules Bayala
L'agroforesterie joue un rôle important dans l'atténuation du climat et la provison d’autres services ecosystemiques. La forme la plus repandue de cette agroforesterie pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest est constituée par les parcs agroforestiers avec karité (Vitellaria paradoxa) comme espèce dominante. En depit de cette importance, le potentiel de séq(...)

Lionel Eliada Benoit Bambara, Amana Metuor Dabire, Oumar Traore, Yasmine Tiemtore, Theodora Zohoncon and Jacques Simpore
Introduction: Enterobacteria are among the most frequent isolated strains in hospitalized patients. Currently, carbapenems have a broad spectrum of activity and are considered to be the last resort for the treatment of nosocomial infections. However, overuse of these valuable compounds has led to a rapid increase in antimicrobial resistance. T(...)
