Nutrient cycling and microbial responses to termite and earthworm activity in soils amended with woody residues in the Sudano-Sahel
Salifou Traore , Daouda Guebre, Edmond Hien , Mamoudou Traore , Nathan Lee , Nicola Lorenz , Richard P. Dick
Termites and earthworms are the main groups of invertebrates in dry tropical ecosystems and exert significant
effects on bioturbation and soil reorganization. The dynamics of microbial communities, enzymes and substrates
associated with the flux of energy and nutrients induced by their diverse biogenic structures are still underinvestigated(...)

Soil macrofaunal activity, microbial catabolic limitations and nutrient cycling in cropping systems amended with woody residues and nitrogen inputs.
Daouda Guébré, Salifou Traoré, Edmond Hien, Der Somé, Babou André Bationo , Martin Wiesmeier
Agroecological practices are emerging as efficient alternatives to address the challenge of sustainable agriculture. This study aims to examine whether plant residue amendments from stems and leaves (SL) of Piliostigma reticulatum enriched with nitrogen (N) sources improve nutrient cycling in Sahelian cropping systems. The experimental design(...)

Local Ancestry to Identify Selection in Response to Trypanosome Infection in Baoulé x Zebu Crossbred Cattle in Burkina Faso
Bernadette Yougbaré, Dominique Ouédraogo, Arnaud S. R. Tapsoba, Albert Soudré, Bienvenue L. Zoma, Pablo Orozco-terWengel, Sanou Moumouni, Salifou Ouédraogo-Koné, Maria Wurzinger, Hamidou H. Tamboura, Amadou Traoré, Okeyo Ally Mwai, Johann Sölkner, Negar Khayatzadeh, Gábor Mészáros, Pamela A. Burger
The genomes of crossbred (admixed) individuals are a mosaic of ancestral haplotypes formed by recombination in each generation. The proportion of these ancestral haplotypes in certain genomic regions can be responsible for either susceptibility or tolerance against pathogens, and for performances in production traits. Using a medium-density ge(...)

Performance de l’association mixte sorgho-niébé sur les productivités du sorgho et des sols en zone Soudano-Sahélienne du Burkina Faso
Koulibi Fidèle ZONGO, Edmond HIEN, Boussa Tockville MARE, Daouda GUEBRE
Dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso, la performance des associations mixtes sorgho-niébé reste faible bien que les nombreux services écosystémiques rendus par les associations céréales-légumineuses soient connus. L’objectif de la présente étude a été de comprendre la performance des associations mixtes sorgho-niébé sur la productiv(...)

Mapping Tree Height in Burkina Faso Parklands with TanDEM-X
Soja, M.J.; Karlson, M.; Bayala, J.; Bazié, H.R.; Sanou, J.; Tankoano, B.; Eriksson, L.E.B.; Reese, H.; Ostwald, M.; Ulander, L.M.H.
Mapping of tree height is of great importance for management, planning, and research
related to agroforestry parklands in Africa. In this paper, we investigate the potential of spotlightmode
data from the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) satellite system TanDEM-X
(TDM) for mapping of tree height in Saponé, Burkina Faso, a te(...)

Assessing human pressure on wild food and forage tree species for designing effective conservation actions in West Africa Sahel region
Bossila Séraphin Hien, Loyapin Bondé, Sié Sylvestre Da, Fidèle Bognounou, Issaka Joseph Boussim, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Background: High harvesting of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for food and fodder supply leads many tree species to be vulnerable or endangered due to overexploitation. This study aimed to assess harvesting pressure on food and forage species and to understand how the socio-economic profile of people affects their perception on species sta(...)

Field Performance Evaluation of a small-scale drip irrigation system installed in the Upper West region of Ghana.
Hamidatu S. Darimani, Noelli Kpoda, Sumuaila M. Suleman, Alhassan Lunt
This study was conducted to evaluate the water application uniformity for a drip irrigation system, considering the water quality and the duration of usage. The uniformity parameters, Emission Uniformity (EU %) and Uniformity Coefficient (UC %) were determined for the drip irrigation system installed over a year of performance. The procedures(...)

Les associations de cultures céréales-légumineuses s’inscrivent dans une logique d’intensification durable. Cependant, dans les zones sahéliennes et soudano-sahéliennes du Burkina Faso, les rendements en association sont généralement faibles. Notre étude a pour objectifs de caractériser la pratique d’association culturale la plus pratiquée par(...)
