Aboveground biomass allocation, additive biomass and carbon sequestration models for Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. in Burkina Faso
Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Kangbéni Dimobe, Issaka Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Efforts to develop allometric models for accurate estimation of biomass and carbon sequestration in Sub-Saharan African savanna ecosystems remain inconclusive. Most available allometric models are not site-specific, and hence do not account for the effects of regional climate variabilities on tree growth and capacity to sequester carbon. In co(...)

Line-transect data may not produce reliable estimates of interannual sex-ratio and age structure variation in West African savannah ungulates
Emmanuel M. Hema, Yaya Ouattara, Maomarco Abdoul Ismael Tou, Giovanni Amori, Mamadou Karama, Luca Luiselli
Adult sex ratios and age structures are important wildlife population parameters, but they have been poorly investigated in ungulate species in West African savannahs. We used line transects to investigate these parameters in 11 ungulates from a protected area in south-western Burkina Faso during the period 2010-2018. We created an empirical m(...)

Land Use Land Cover Dynamics and Farmland Intensity Analysis at Ouahigouya Municipality of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Oble Neya, Tiga Neya, Akwasi. A. Abunyewa, Benewinde J.-B. Zoungrana, Hypolite Tiendrebeogo, Kangbeni Dimobe, Joël Awouhidia Korahire
Sahel zone has been reported as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, so serious attention must be paid to this zone by researchers and development actors who are interested in environmental-human dynamics and interactions. The aim of this study was to bring more insight into the impactof actions aiming at reducing land degrada(...)

Predicting the structure of turtle assemblages along a megatransect in West Africa
Luca Luiselli, Godfrey C. Akani, Stephanie N. Ajong, Adedolapo George, Massimiliano Di Vittorio, Edem A. Eniang, Daniele Dendi, Emmanuel M. Hema, Fabio Petrozzi, Julia E. Fa
Abstract Understanding large- and small-scale patterns and the determinants of species richness is central for the study of evolutionary mechanisms. The extent to which species richness in local communities is related to larger-scale processes is a pre-eminent topic in ecological and evolutionary research. To investigate how local and regional(...)

MALDI-TOF identification of Campylobacter isolated from patients consulted in private laboratories in France
René Dembélé1,2*, Astrid Ducournau3,4, Alice Buissonnière3,4, Lucie Bruhl3,4, Francis Megraud3,4, Emilie Bessède3,4, Nicolas Barro1,2 and Philippe Lehours3,4
Campylobacter is a major agent of gastroenteritis worldwide. The incidence and prevalence of campylobacteriosis have been increasing in both developed and developing countries over the last decade. In this study, 197 strains of successive Campylobacter-like were identified in French laboratories in September 2018. Bacterial isolates from clini(...)

Woody species composition, diversity and vegetation structure of two protected areas along a climatic gradient in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Issaka Ouédraogo, Kangbéni Dimobe & Adjima Thiombiano
Climate variability added to anthropogenic pressures leads to habitat fragmentation, degradation and loss of forest ecosystem resources in Burkina Faso. Studying vegetation structure and woody species composition is important in monitoring vegetation dynamics for efficient forest management. This study was carried out to characterize woody veg(...)

With high annual mortality rates among young children, antimicrobial resistant salmonellosis is considered a major public health concern worldwide. Antimicrobial resistant salmonellosis is a worldwide health issue, particularly in low income countries with high microbially-derived food contaminations. As a result, it is important to better und(...)

Allometric models for estimating aboveground biomass and carbon stock for Diospyros mespiliformis in West Africa
Korotimi Ouédraogo, Kangbéni Dimobe, Adjima Thiombiano
Accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB) strongly depend on the suitability and precision of allometric models. Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst. ex A. DC. is a key component of most sub-Saharan agroforestry systems and one of the most economically important trees in Africa. Despite its importance, very few scientific information exists r(...)

Carbon Sequestration Potential and Marketable Carbon Value of Smallholder Agroforestry Parklands Across Climatic Zones of Burkina Faso: Current Status and Way Forward for REDD+ Implementation
Tiga Neya, Akwasi. A. Abunyewa, Oble Neya, Benewende J-B Zoungrana, Kangbeni Dimobe, Hypolite Tiendrebeogo & John Magistro
Agroforestry plays an important role in climate mitigation through atmospheric carbon removal by photosynthetic activity of tree. However, the carbon sequestration potential of smallholder’s agroforestry’s parklands is not well documented in Burkina Faso. Therefore, agroforestry parkland of smallholders’ farmers in three climatic zones was stu(...)

Effects of Three Different Planting Techniques on Soil Water Content, Survival, and Growth of Senegalia Seedlings on Semi-Arid Degraded Lands in Burkina Faso
Philippe Bayen, Anne Mette Lykke, Boubacar M. Moussa, Fidèle Bognounou, Adjima Thiombiano
Land degradation exacerbates poverty and food shortages in Sub-Saharan Africa. Tree planting is traditionally used to restore degraded lands, but the tree species used are often poorly adapted to the local climate conditions. We evaluated the suitability and efficiency of three planting techniques (half-moon, standard plantation and zaï) in a(...)

Centrochelys sulcata, the African Spurred Tortoise (Family Testudinidae) is one of the largest terrestrial chelonians in the world, the largest extant continental tortoise, and the largest tortoise in Africa. Males are larger than females, and may exceed 100 kg in body mass, with a straight carapace length of up to 86.0 cm in males and 57.8 cm(...)

Le mythe du sacré dans la protection du bosquet dans la ville d’Ouagadougou
Béli Mathieu DAÏLA
Le bosquet sacré est un îlot de végétation situé à
proximité des villages et villes. Il est souvent présenté comme
une forêt naturelle, préservée de l'action humaine en respect
aux traditions. Cette forêt inspire la crainte du fait qu’elle
abrite des esprits et tout un mythe est conçu autour de celle-ci.
Dans la tradition, les bosquets sa(...)
