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(...)

Spatiotemporal land use changes dynamics impacts on natural reserves in West African dryland: Drivers, Carbon emissions and Climate Change Implications
Issaka Abdou Razakou Kiribou, Kangbéni Dimobe, Charles Lamoussa Sanou, Sintayehu W. Dejene
Land use change (LUC), primarily driven by anthropogenic pressure, poses a major threat to West African drylands’ vegetation. As critical indicators of ecosystem sustainability, LUC patterns reflect how human activities alter carbon dynamics and climate vulnerability. This systematic review analyzes the spatial and temporal dynamics of LUC imp(...)

Characterization of Quinolone Resistance Genes in Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated from Pus and Vaginal Swabs at Saint Camille Hospital, Ouagadougou (HOSCO), Burkina Faso
Rabietou Nikiema, Amana Metuor Dabire, Olawoumi Fabrice Kouta, Eliada Benoit Lionel Bambara, Nicolas Ouedraogo, Rhaina Olivia Badini , Pegd-Wende Rose Bonkoungou
Introduction: Antibiotic resistance, particularly to quinolones, represents a major public health concern in Burkina Faso. Inrecent decades, plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) mechanisms have emerged, especially among Gram-negativebacteria. These mechanisms include, among others, qnr genes (qnrA, qnrB, qnrS). This study aimed to inve(...)

Morphosemantic Analysis of the Pseudonyms of Disc Jockeys (D.J.) in the City of Ouagadougou: The DJ's Pseudonym Between Ostentation and the Quest for Celebrity
OUALI Malpoa Laetitia, DAÏLA Béli Mathieu et NANEMA Michel
This article focuses on the pseudonyms used by a category of artists known as disc jockeys (D.J.). It aims to analyze the sociolinguistic characteristics of these pseudonyms and the linguistic dynamics that emerge from them. Morphological and semantic analysis has revealed the nature, form, and linguistic origin of these designations. The pseu(...)

Legacy effects of fire on tree diversity, structure and aboveground carbon in tropical semi-arid naturally assembled communities
Sylvanus Mensah, Florent Noulèkoun , Valère K. Salako, Kangbéni Dimobe, Jonathan Sheppard, Achille Assogbadjo, Romain Glèlè Kakaï, Thomas Seifert
Seasonal fires are integral to the ecological functioning of tropical savannas; however, increasing fire frequency threatens the integrity of these ecosystems by reducing their productivity and the ecosystem services they support. The role of species population demography, functional traits and phylogenetic structure in regulating plant commun(...)
