Caractéristiques morpho-pédologiques et potentialités agricoles de sols développés sur roches dolomitiques dans le bassin de Taoudéni au Burkina Faso Morpho-pedological characteristics and agricultural potentialities of soils developed on dolomitic rocks in the Taoudeni basin in Burkina Faso
Fidèle KABORE,Edmond HIEN, Tockville B. MARE, Korodjouma OUATTARA, Prosper N. ZOMBRE
Dans l'Ouest du Burkina Faso ont été identifiés des sols développés sur des dolomies. L'absence d'étude pédologique antérieure dans la région, traitant de l'implication géochimique des roches dolomitiques sur les propriétés de ces sols, a conduit à la réalisation d'une étude morpho-pédologique. Celle-ci avait pour objectif d'évaluer l'impact d(...)

Perceptions paysannes de la dégradation des ressources naturelles des bas-fonds en zone soudano-sahélienne: cas du sous bassin versant du Nakanbé-Dem au Burkina Faso
Adama ILBOUDO 1* , Soungalo SOULAMA 2 , Edmond HIEN 1 et Prosper ZOMBRE 1
Le Sahel burkinabé est caractérisé par une forte dégradation des ressources naturelles. Cette régression
est imputable à des facteurs naturels et anthropiques. La présente étude concerne les bas-fonds du sous bassin
versant du Nakanbé-Dem situé dans la limite australe du Sahel. Dans cette zone dominée par l'agriculture
pluviale et(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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

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(...)
