Trees in African drylands can promote deep soil and groundwater recharge in a future climate with more intense rainfall
Aida Bargués‐Tobella, Niles J Hasselquist, Hugues R Bazié, Jules Bayala, Hjalmar Laudon, Ulrik Ilstedt
Tropical regions are likely to experience more intense rainfall events in the future.
Such an increase in rainfall intensities will affect soil and groundwater recharge, with
potential consequences for millions of people. However, little is known about the
impact of tree cover on soil and groundwater recharge under higher rainfall intensiti(...)

Development of a rice yellow mottle virus amplicon biotechnological tool for the production of high value proteins in rice
Pingdwende Kader Aziz Bamogo, Christophe Brugidou, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Drissa Sérémé, Florencia Wendkuuni Djigma, Jacques Simpore, Séverine Lacombe
Lately, advances on biotechnology have led to the emergence of plants as bioreactor for the production of molecules of industrial, pharmaceutical and agribusiness interests. One of the major advances was the exploitation of plant viruses as “amplifier” for the protein production. This amplicon technology relies on viral vector engineered to co(...)

Soil Moisture Monitoring of Agricultural Fields in Burkina Faso Using Dual Polarized Sentinel-1a Data
Y. Miura; L. E. B. Eriksson; M. Ostwald; M. Karlson; H. R. Bazié; M. J. Soja; J. Sanou; J. Bayala and H. Reese
We investigated the correlation between backscatter and soil moisture considering precipitation and crop effects using dual polarized Sentinel-1A data. The analyzed data consist of a time-series of 38 Sentinel-1A GRD images acquired on a 12-days repeat cycle from July 2017 to October 2018 over Sapone in Burkina Faso. We show that the temporal(...)

Effet des amendements à base de résidus de Piliostigma reticulatum enrichi en différentes sources d'azote sur le cycle des nutriments et la productivité des sols en Afrique subsahélienne.
Daouda GUEBRE, Salifou Traoré, Der Somé, André B. Bationo, Edmond Hien
La dégradation des sols constitue une grave menace pour la sécurité alimentaire et
la lutte contre la pauvreté des populations en Afrique subsahélienne.
L’agroécologie apparaît comme une alternative viable pour relever le défi de la
durabilité des systèmes agricoles. Cependant, cette pratique accroit les besoins
azotés des microorganismes(...)

ssessment of bambara groundnut landraces for resistance to Cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus
N’Golo Moussa KONATE, Adjima OUOBA, Hervé NANDKANGRE, Essowè PALANGA, Théodore OUEDRAOGO, Mahama OUEDRAOGO and Mahamadou SAWADOGO
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is an important seed legume in Burkina Faso. It provides a
well-balanced diet and many other benefits for populations, especially in rural areas. Despite all these
advantages, bambara groundnut cultivation remains subject to many constraints. One of the most important of
them is viral diseases. This stu(...)

Microbial and nutrient cyclingresponses to termite and earthworm activities in soils amended with Piliostigma reticulatum plant residue in the Sahel
Daouda GUEBRE, Salifou Traore, Mamadou Traore, Nicola Lorenz , Edmond Hien, Richard P. Dick
Soil biodiversity is essential for sustainable crop productivity in agroecosystems by performing
various functions which regulate soil processes and nutrient cycling. Termites and earthworms
are the main group of invertebrates in the Sahel West Africa having significant effects on
ecosystem services. The objective was to determine whether t(...)

Participatory methods for sustainable management of Shea trees in Burkina Faso
Bazié Hugues Roméo
Charters have facilitated the involvement of key
stakeholders, including policy- and community
decision-makers and helped find better ways
to manage a natural resource sustainably. This
brief has described the charter process with the
example of Shea trees in Burkina Faso.
The charters reinforce the involvement of
the customary manageme(...)

Regenerated trees in farmers’ fields increase soil carbon across the Sahel
Jules Bayala, J Sanou, HR Bazié, R Coe, A Kalinganire, Fergus L Sinclair
In the current debate on the role of
increase soil carbon in addressing both climate change
and food security, there is consensus that farmed lands
have the higher potential provided the best management
practices are implemented. In the Sahel where
farms usually have few sparse old trees with declining
soil fertility, there is an ongoing(...)

To What Extent Do Tree Size, Climate and Land Use Influence the Fruit Production of Balanites aegyptiaca (L) Delile in Tropical Areas (Burkina Faso)?
Sambo Ouedraogo, Loyapin Bonde, Oumarou Ouedraogo, Amadé Ouedraogo, Adjima Thiombiano, Issaka Joseph Boussim
Climatic aridity and human pressure are factors responsible for the dynamics of species populations in West Africa savannas ecosystems, causing significant effects on their productivity. This study aimed to determine the factors that affect Balanites aegyptiaca fruit production in order to contribute to the control of the species management. D(...)

Impact of environmental conditions on fruit production patterns of shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa C.F.Gaertn) in West Africa
Loyapin Bondé, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Salifou Traoré, Adjima Thiombiano, Joseph I. Boussim
A better knowledge of the impact of environmental conditions on shea tree’s fruit production is critical to improve the species management. Fruit production of 237 shea trees was monitored over five successive years (2014–2018) to understand how climatic variables, shea tree population and land use could affect fruit production patterns of the(...)

Temporal variations in transpiration of Vitellaria paradoxa in West African agroforestry parklands
HR Bazié, J Sanou, J Bayala, A Bargués-Tobella, G Zombré, U Ilstedt
Lack of data on water use of key species of drylands constitutes an obstacle to understanding their role in hydrological processes in this environment. To elucidate seasonal variation in water consumption by Vitellaria paradoxa, the dominant species of parklands of the semi-arid areas of West Africa, we've measured its transpiration using heat(...)

Variability and estimating in fruiting of shea tree (Vitellariaparadoxa C.F. Gaertn) associated to climatic conditions in West Africa: implications for sustainable management and development
Loyapin Bondé, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Issaka Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano & Joseph I. Boussim
Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is one of the main native oil plants with high economic value in Africa. Its fruits are used for food, medicinal, cultural and exportation purposes. However, the lack of efficient tools to assess annual fruit production of the species limits the sustainable management of its resources. Therefore, production stat(...)
