Aboveground Biomass in West African Semi‐Arid Ecosystems: Structural Diversity, Taxonomic Contributions and Environmental Drivers_
Kangbéni Dimobe, Shem Kuyah, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Ebagnerin Jérôme Tondoh, Adjima Thiombiano
The role of plant diversity and biomass in ecosystem functioning and management is well recognized. However, the structural drivers of aboveground biomass (AGB) and their influence across savanna ecosystems remain understudied, particularly in semi-arid regions. Here, we hypothesized that (i) species richness and structural diversity would pos(...)

Perception de l’utilité des personnes âgées à Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso)
Abdramane Berthé, Blahima Konaté, Maïmouna Sanou, L Sanou
Les investissements sociaux dans les personnes âgées (PA) sont
fonction de la perception sociale de leur utilité. Peu d’études sur
cette perception ont interrogé à la fois les PA et les membres de leur
famille et/ou étudié les PA comme un groupe hétérogène ayant différents degrés d’incapacités. Cette contribution cerne les perceptions

Seeds of sustainability: Unveiling the population dynamics of Carapa procera, Lophira lanceolata, and Pentadesma butyracea for adaptive oilseed value chains.
Fanta Reine Sheirita Tiétiambou, Dimobe Kangbéni, Kolawolé Valère Salako, Benjamin Lankoandé, Amadé Ouédraogo
Carapa procera, Lophira lanceolata, and Pentadesma butyracea are important non-timber forest products providing species with promising value chains of their oils. To assess whether traditional uses of these species are sustainable, this study analysed their population structure and regeneration patterns in non-protected sites. Three sites wher(...)

Climate change through an increase in temperature and a reduction of rainfall constitutes a serious threat to the African savannah elephants Loxodonta africana Cuvier. Climate change can directly shrink suitable habitats of the main food resources of elephants; hence reducing their food availability. In this study, we assessed the present-day(...)

Morphological variability of Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. along a climate gradient in Burkina Faso, West Africa: implications for conservation and domestication
Boukaré Konda, Kangbéni Dimobe, Kolawolé Valère Salako, Jean Baptiste Dembélé & Issiaka Joseph Boussim
This study investigates the morphological variability of Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. across three climate zones in Burkina Faso, West Africa. A total of 90 trees were analyzed using 10 morphological traits, and the data were evaluated using univariate and multivariate statistical methods. The key findings of the study are as follows: trees in(...)

Provenance and tree-to-tree differences in germination performance of Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile: Insights for domestication and selection
Moustapha Arèmou Kolawole, Amandine Dohoué Martinienne Akakpo , Kolawolé Valère Salako, Florent Noulèkoun, Kangbéni Dimobe , Achille Ephrem Assogbadjo, Romain Glèlè Kakaï
Identifying the best genetic material across provenances and genotypes, particularly for vigorous seedling production, is a key aspect of domestication programs. This study aimed to (i) assess provenance and tree-to-tree differences in the germination performance of Balanites aegyptiaca and (ii) identify mother trees with the best germination(...)

Geochemistry and human health risks of heavy metals in soils from gold mineralized Birimian rocks in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Kadidiatou Coulibalya et Aboubakar Sako
This study aims to identify sources and health risks of a series of heavy metals in topsoil from
Birimian basement rocks in southwestern Burkina Faso. Concentrations of geochemical data of 66
samples were determined using ICP-MS. R-mode factor analysis, Sediment/Soil Quality Guidelines
and ecological and human health risk indices were used(...)

Geochemical characterization of potentially toxic elements in topsoil under different land‑use patterns in the village of Guido (Midwestern Burkina Faso) using multivariate geostatistical techniques
Michel Bembamba and Aboubakar Sako
Burkina Faso faces a major challenge of environmental degradation due to a booming of gold mining. To date, there is no available information regarding soil geochemical status of this rapidly transitioning land use from merely subsistence agriculture to market gardening and artisanal gold mining. Therefore, this case study investigates distrib(...)
