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...

Climate and land cover changes are key factors in river basins’ management. This study investigates on the one hand 60-year (1960 to 2019) rainfall temperature variability using station data combined with gridded data, other for years 1990, 2005, 2020 Sota catchment (13,410 km2, North Benin, West Africa). The climate period is different from chosen use change due unavailability of satellite images. Standardized anomaly index, break points, trend analysis, Thiessen’s polygon were applied....

Assessing Participatory Forest Management (PFM) is crucial to design sustainable conservation biodiversity policies. Such assessments often prioritize PFM's impact on livelihoods and deforestation, overlooking the spatial dimensions. Thus underscores need for tools like Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULCC) overviews forest diversity assessments. Here, we integrated LULCC of fours forests reserves (Wari-maro Mont-Kouffé, Agoua, Goungoun Lama), taxonomic (alpha index) temporal beta index provide...

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...

Sustainable management and conservation of multipurpose tree species in their natural habitats is crucial, given vulnerability to climate change increasing human activities. This can be achieved by harnessing insights from local ecological knowledge (LEK) classical approaches support biodiversity efforts. Using forest inventory data 126 plots information a semi-structured survey 234 households, we investigated LEK (perception on population trend, causes, attitudes toward the species) ecology...

Forests have been undergoing diverse threats due to human activities and these may affect their role as Ecosystem Services (ES) providers. Therefore, it becomes crucial undertake some analysis of the current socio-economic context ES offerings provide valuable information for decision-making process policy regarding sustainable forest management. This study aimed at highlighting local perception in two contrasting ecological regions. 689 respondents distributed six districts were interviewed...

Le changement d’affectation des terres est l’une causes majeures de la dégradation et déforestation dans le monde. Au Bénin, les écosystèmes sont largement dépendants activités anthropiques. Cette étude vise à analyser perception l’état forestiers ainsi que moteurs afin formuler stratégies gestion durable. Elle s’est basée sur une enquête auprès 671 individus 66 villages six communes repartis deux zones écologiques. Les caractéristiques socio-économiques, ont été collectés. Après analyse...
