Abstract Background Growing interest is on food tree species in general, and particularly indigenous fruit developing countries since they are inherent to most tropical landscapes serve the dual function of local livelihood support biodiversity conservation. It therefore relevant assess level integration these cultures factors affecting them. This study aims at assessing knowledge uses Sclerocarya birrea subsp. use values within between communities. Methods combines quantitative qualitative...
Climate change is predicted to affect species distribution worldwide. Most of the methods used evaluate such impact so far assume that respond environmental gradients in a uniform way along their range. Because populations occupying different niches may differ response climate due local adaptation, accounting for intraspecific variation models (SDMs) yield more reliable predictions widely distributed species. Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir highly valued but endangered tree species, which occurs...
Abstract Background Ecosystems provide humanity with goods and services known as ecosystem services. The value of these represents a basis for political decision-making. To be sure that decisions are made on valid basis, policymakers require an understanding the biophysical processes involved . This study was carried out around two forest reserves (Alibori-Supérieur Ouénou-Bénou) in Northern Benin. It aimed to highlight knowledge surrounding communities their perceptions about importance...
Invasive plant species and climate change are among the biggest threats to ecological integrity of many ecosystems, including those protected areas. Effective management invasive plants requires information regarding their spatial distributions. Using maximum entropy, we modeled habitat suitability for an Chromolaena odorata under current future climatic conditions (HadGEM2‐ES MIROC5) in areas four West African countries (Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo). Under conditions, approximately...
The importance of indigenous fruit tree species for people living around protected areas is widely acknowledged. There then a need to assess their conservation status in the current context of increasing human population and pressure reserves. We investigated structure of Sclerocarya birrea, a multiple-use species two land use systems Northern Benin. Adult density was about nine times higher area (p < 0.001) compared agroforestry (agro-systems). Seedling occurrence similar both type even...
For an adaptive policy to be effective, it is crucial divide species populations into subpopulations, especially for with diverse environmental conditions. In this study, occurrence data of Adansonia digitata L., a multipurpose tree species, were collected from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility portal (1513), fieldwork (421), and other studies (195) throughout West Africa scale. Principal Component Analysis was used discriminate sample four subpopulations based on 19 bioclimatic...
Riparian ecosystems are recognized as large reservoirs of biodiversity providing important ecosystem services. However, the relationship between tree species diversity and functions underlying ecological mechanisms have less been studied in riparian corridors. This study assessed effect (taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic) on (habitat quality–HbQ aboveground carbon–AGC) across environmental gradients (distances to stream bed) conservation status. Data were collected from 96 inventory plots...
L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer au Bénin l’efficacité du réseau des aires protégées dans la conservation habi- tats favorables et prioritaires certaines espèces ligneuses d’importance socio-éco- nomique. Il s’agit Afzelia africana, Anogeissus leiocarpa, Burkea Daniellia oliveri, Detarium microcarpum, Prosopis africana Khaya senegalensis. Les techniques basées sur le principe d’en- tropie maximale (Maxent) combinées avec les SIG ont été utilisées pour projeter habitats ces sept ;...
The southern armyworm (SAW) Spodoptera eridania (Stoll) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is native to the tropical Americas where pest can feed on more than 100 plant species. SAW was recently detected in West and Central Africa, feeding various crops including cassava, cotton, amaranth tomato. current work carried out predict potential spatial distribution of four its co-evolved parasitoids at a global scale using maximum entropy (Maxent) algorithm.SAW may not be huge problem outside range (the...
Abstract Despite the importance of agroforestry parkland systems for ecosystem and livelihood benefits, evidence on determinants carbon storage in parklands remains scarce. Here, we assessed direct indirect influence human management (selective harvesting trees), abiotic factors (climate, topography, soil) multiple attributes species diversity (taxonomic, functional, structural) aboveground (AGC) stocks 51 drylands Benin. We used linear mixed-effects regressions structural equation modeling...
Synsepalum dulcificum (Schumach. & Thonn. Daniell) est un arbuste originaire de l’Afrique l’Ouest, inscrit sur la liste des espèces vulnérables l’UICN. Au Bénin, son importance pour les popu- lations locales reste peu documentée. L’étude avait objectif d’évaluer connaissances endogènes, valeur d’usage et l’importance économique l’espèce populations locales. Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques éco- nomiques ont été conduites auprès 606 personnes réparties dans 13 groupes socioculturels du...
For decades, plant species, particularly those used as non-tree forest products (NTFPs), have been known to play an important role in the livelihood of local populations, rural Africa. The present study investigated uses various parts Moringa oleifera Lam. southern Benin. It aimed at capturing indigenous knowledge on M. a preliminary step toward future efforts devise better management options this species. An ethnobotanical survey was carried out Benin (Guineo-Congolese zone) with sample 439...
Le Nord du Bénin abrite 92,5 % de la couverture forestière nationale, principalement constituée des réserves faune et forêts classées, destinées à conservation biodiversité. Ces zones domaine classé, pourtant dotées pour plupart plans d’aménagement d’un système surveillance qui devraient limiter dégradation milieu, sont soumises un fort taux régression forestière, dû aux pressions anthropiques. Cette étude vise analyser vulnérabilité formations forestières dans les domaines classé non trois...
Pseudrocedrela Kotschyi est une espèce très important pour les communautés locales en raison de ses multiples utilisations, notamment alimentaires, médicinales, industrielles et technologiques. Elle fortement touchée par la dégradation son habitat aussi bien milieu naturel ainsi que dans parcs agro-forestiers. Face à cette il impérieux trouver des mécanismes durables conservation ressource. La présente étude visait évaluer paramètres diversité habitats kostchyi fonction zone climatique...
