Testing the ecological apparency hypothesis in Sudano-Sahelian parklands in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Alexis Sompougdou, Benjamin Lankoandé, Zomizi Frank Calixte Coulibaly, Philippe Bayen, Jules Bayala
Agroforestry, by integrating trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, serves as an effective nature-based solution for strengthening climate resilience and food security. While its adoption has received increasing research attention in West Africa, the relationships between plants’ apparency and local importance remain poorly understood. Th(...)

Effects of land use changes on Cordyla pinnata (Lepr. ex A. Rich.) Milne-Redh. stand distribution: a multipurpose threatened species in Senegal (West Africa)
Idrissa Sawadogo, Philippe Bayen, Prospère Sabo, Faustine Akossoua Kouassi, Omonlola Nadine Worou
Cordyla pinnata is a multipurpose forage species that plays important ecological and socio-economic roles in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated how different land use types affect the species’ population structure and distribution in Senegal. Forest inventories were conducted in 140 plots across four land use types: farmland, fallow, rangelan(...)

Local perceptions of degraded soils (“Zippela”) and factors influencing the adoption of agroecological practices for land restoration in Burkina Faso
Nongbila Eugène BALMA, Philippe Bayen, Larba Hubert Balima, Anne Mette Lykke, Adjima Thiombiano
Introduction Land degradation is a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, driven by unsustainable farming practices, population pressure, and climate variability. In Burkina Faso, zippelé refers to bare, crusted, and compacted soils with low organic matter and extremely low productivity. This study examined local perceptions of zippelé in the(...)

Biotic and abiotic drivers of biomass carbon storage in peri-urban forests in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Henry Kiemtoré, Lassané Nakoulma, Mohamed Cissé, Issouf Zerbo, Adjima Thiombiano
Urban and peri-urban forests are vital nature-based climate solutions in urban centers undergoing rapid urbanization and rising temperatures. While their ecological role in carbon sequestration is documented in West Africa, how environmental factors affect aboveground carbon (AGC) storage in peri-urban forests remains poorly understood. This s(...)

Interface Homme-serpents en zone urbaine et péri-urbaine du Burkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Alamou M. Henri Adje, Idrissa Kaboré, Siefo Parfait Gnoumou, Emmanuel M. Hema
L’intensification des activités anthropiques et l’expansion démographique détruisent les habitats des serpents, affectant ainsi leur diversité et abondance. Cela a pour conséquence, la diminution ou la perte de leur biodiversité. Cependant, au Burkina Faso, les travaux sur le peuplement des serpents sont très fragmentaires et datent de plusieu(...)

Breaking the code of silence: Sexual violence and campus culture at Daniel Ouezzin Coulibaly University, Burkina Faso
Tengueri Yacouba
Introduction: Gray literature on gender-based violence (GBV) in universities
shows that female students are the most vulnerable group. In our context, this
study examines the forms of GBV and the profiles of perpetrators at Daniel
Ouezzin Coulibaly University.
Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted. The questionnaire survey

Micro-XRF-Based Quantitative Mineralogy of the Beauvoir Li Granite: A Tool for Facies Characterization and Ore Processing Optimization
Zia Steven Kahou , Michel Cathelineau], Wilédio Marc-Emile Bonzi , Lise Salsi,Patrick Fullenwarth
Quantitative mineralogy plays a vital role in exploration geology by defining mineral assemblages, identifying metal-bearing phases, and providing clues to optimize ore processing. In peraluminous rare-metal granites such as those at Beauvoir (France), mineral quantification is challenging, especially in altered facies where partial replacemen(...)

Integrating Soil Natural Capital Into Production Frontiers of Ecosystem Services in Agriculture
Toho Hien, Serge Garcia, Christophe Schwartz
ABSTRACT
Natural capital is a key element in the provision of soil ecosystem services (ES). However, most economic analyses of production lack an explicit integration of natural capital and its components. We develop a novel empirical approach that integrates soil natural capital into a multi‐output production model using a(...)
