DAÏLA Béli Mathieu, NANEMA Michel et OUALI Malpoa Laetitia
L’usage de la langue française dans le contexte de multiplicité de média sociaux se
particularise du français standard à l’écrit et à l’oral. La langue française connait un
changement au quotidien du point de vue morphologique, syntaxique et sémantique
au Burkina Faso. Dans cette étude, nous examinons les particularités scripturales des

Drivers of aboveground carbon in protected areas in Burkina Faso
Kangbéni Dimobe, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Shem Kuyah , Adjima Thiombiano
Grasslands, savannas, and forests within protected areas play a vital role in mitigating climate change and conserving biodiversity. While these landscapes are widely recognized for their ecological value, the contribution of biodiversity to enhancing aboveground carbon (AGC) storage is less understood. We investigated how environmental factor(...)

Trees can differ enormously in their crown architectural traits, such as the scaling relationships between tree height, crown width and stem diameter. Yet despite the importance of crown architecture in shaping the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, we lack a complete picture of what drives this incredible diversity in crown sha(...)

The fight against bacterial infections is essentially based on the use of antibiotics. Unfortunately, bacteria have developed resistance mechanisms against
antibiotics, particularly those of the β-lactam family. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the inhibitory activity of six medicinal plants resulting from an ethnobotanical investigation of(...)

Climate change and variability as drivers of vegetation dynamics in Bontioli Natural Reserve, West African drylands_
Issaka Abdou Razakou Kiribou, Theodore Nikiema , Kangbéni Dimobe , Benewinde Jean-Bosco Zoungrana, Valentin Ouedraogo , Huiyi Yang , Truly Santika , Sintayehu W. Dejene
Climate change significantly impacts vegetation dynamics and plant productivity by affecting temperature, rainfall and seasonal patterns. In dryland ecosystems such as the West African savanna, these changes accelerate biodiversity loss, and reduces carbon sequestration capacity. This study examines vegetation response to climate variability i(...)

From soil sciences to soil economics: A cross-analysis of natural capital and soil ecosystem service provision
Toho Hien, Christophe Schwartz, Serge Garcia
Soil has played and continues to play a key role on Earth since the beginning of terrestrial life. It represents a stock of natural capital from which a variety of ecosystem services are derived. There is a growing awareness of its contribution to socio-economic activities and various research fields have undertaken studies to better understan(...)

Impact of Anthropogenic Activities and Climate Change on Carbon Stock in a West-African Mangrove
Babatondé Innocent Kochoni, Kolawolé Valère Salako, Kangbéni Dimobe, Gafarou Agounde, Mahoutin G. Serge Zanvo, Jones Abrefa Danquah & Romain Glèlè Kakaï
Mangroves are important carbon sinks, and thus play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to anthropogenic disturbances, climate change is projected to affect carbon in mangroves, although the extent of this impact is poorly known in West-Africa. We focused on mangroves of Ramsar sites 1017 and 1018 in Benin and aime(...)

Abstract
Crop diversification has gained interest due to its role in climate change adaptation. While previous studies have focused on farm productivity and income variability, this study examines the relationship between crop diversification and farm performance, considering farm size, socio-economic status and location.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health concern. Producing new β-lactamases and carbapenemases is one form of resistance that preoccupies many scientists. The risk of the spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPCs) is a major public health issue, as these enzymes restrict therapeutic options and are ofte(...)

Modelling the current and future geographical distribution of Combretum glutinosum Perr. ex DC. Under climate change in Burkina Faso: Future challenges and conservation opportunities,
Jean Baptiste Dembélé, Kangbéni Dimobe , Boukaré Konda, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traoré , Issaka Joseph Boussim
Combretum glutinosum is a keystone species prevalent in the West Africa savannas, particularly thriving in arid ecosystems. It plays a vital role in local livelihoods, providing wood, fodder, and medicinal resources. However, there is a critical lack of data on its effective conservation and sustainable use amidst rapidly changing ecological c(...)

Structure, diversity, and regeneration status of fodder tree stands in Sahelian rangelands of Ferlo in Senegal and Mankarga in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Idrissa Sawadogo, Faustine Kouassi, Innocent Traore, Charles SANOU, Philippe Bayen
This study was conducted at Ferlo (Sénégal) and Mankarga (Burkina Faso) natural rangelands, to investigate the woody plant diversity, vegetation structure, and regeneration status of the rangelands. A systematic sampling design was employed to collect vegetation data. 64 quadrats of varying size were laid in each of the rangeland. The inventor(...)
