Water stress tolerance potential of five priority species for afforestation in Burkina Faso.
François Wenemi Kagambèga, Rasmata Nana, Philippe Bayen, Adjima Thiombiano, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Description du sujet. Dans les régions arides et semi-arides, la disponibilité en eau est l’un des facteurs limitant de la croissance et du développement des arbres. L’étude de la réponse au déficit hydrique des espèces végétales permettrait de sélectionner du matériel végétal résistant pouvant se développer dans les zones sujettes à des défic(...)

ANALYSE DE QUELQUES NÉOGRAPHISMES PUBLICITAIRES AU BURKINA FASO
OUEDRAOGO Youssouf et DAÏLA Béli Mathieu
La pratique du français en contexte naturel se particularise du français standard à
l’écrit et à l’oral. Dans cet article, il est question de la formation des mots sur les
affiches et enseignes publicitaires et les infographies télévisuelles. En effet, les
mots sont formés de lettres, de chiffres et ne tiennent compte que de la phonie.

Farmers’ preferred tree species and their potential carbon stocks in southern Burkina Faso: Implications for biocarbon initiatives
Kangbéni Dimobe, Jérôme Ebagnerin Tondoh, John C. Weber, Jules Bayala, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Karen Greenough
The success of terrestrial carbon sequestration projects for rural development in sub-Saharan Africa lies in the (i) involvement of local populations in the selection of woody species, which represent the biological assets they use to meet their daily needs, and (ii) information about the potential of these species to store carbon. Although th(...)

Effects of Water Quality and Post-Harvest Handling on Microbiological Contamination of Lettuce at Urban and Peri-Urban Locations of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Juliane Dao, Kathrin Stenchly, Oumar Traoré , Philip Amoah and Andreas Buerkert
Vegetable production in urban gardens of Ouagadougou contributes to food security, but
water for irrigation is often of low quality. This is particularly acute if irrigation water is taken
from wastewater polluted channels. This study aimed at (i) verifying to what degree irrigation
water quality is correlated with contamination of lettuce(...)

Bushmeat consumption in large urban centres in West Africa
Luca Luiselli, Emmanuel M. Hema, Gabriel Hoinsoudé Segniagbeto, Valy Ouattara, Edem A. Eniang, Gnoumou Parfait, Godfrey C. Akani, Djidama Sirima, B.B. Fakae, Daniele Dendi, Julia E. Fa
Abstract There is an unprecedented demand for bushmeat in large cities in sub-Saharan Africa, and this is a major threat to many species. We conducted 2,040 interviews in six cities in four West African countries, in forest and savannah settings. We analysed age- and sex-related differences in the frequency of bushmeat consumption. Overall, we(...)

Risque épidémiologique de la peste équine africaine chez les ânes au Burkina Faso
Madi Savadogo, Adama Sow, Laibané Dieudonné Dahourou, Aurélie Cailleau, Miguiri Kalandi, Germain Jérôme Sawadogo
Le virus de la peste équine africaine (PEA) provoque des épizooties sévères lorsqu’il est transmis aux chevaux par ses vecteurs, les culicoïdes. Une étude transversale a été réalisée dans cinq régions du Burkina Faso afin de déterminer la séroprévalence du virus chez les ânes et d’identifier les facteurs de risque potentiel. Au total, 460 séru(...)

Projected increased risk of water deficit over major West African river basins under future climates
Mouhamadou Bamba Sylla, Aissatou Faye, Nana Ama Browne Klutse & Kangbeni Dimobe
Estimating climate change impacts on water resources in West Africa has been challenged by hydrological data scarcity and inconsistencies in the available climate projections. In this study, multi-model ensembles of the most recent global and regional climate models output are used to simulate the hydrologic impacts of climate change in five m(...)

Environmental geochemistry and ecological risk assessment of potentially harmful elements in tropical semi-arid soils around the Bagassi South artisanal gold mining site, Burkina Faso
Aboubakar Sako and Mamadou Nimi
This study investigates geochemistry and ecological risk of artisanal gold mining-derived potentially harmful elements in semi-arid soils in Burkina Faso. R-mode factor analysis, which reduces the variables (elements) to few factors, was applied to explain the dominant variance in the data. Three factors, which account 80% of the total varianc(...)
