The West African country of Burkina Faso (BFA) is an example for the enduring importance traditional plant use today. A large proportion its 17 million inhabitants lives in rural communities and strongly depends on local products their livelihood. However, literature still scarce a comprehensive analysis missing. In this study we combine information recently published checklist with from ethnobotanical comprehensive, national scale Faso. We quantify application species 10 different...
Ecosystems are sources of services such as food, water, timber, firewood, health, and spiritual benefits. The unsustainable human use ecosystems has led to significant declines in the capability these provide services. In contribution preservation ecosystems, this study aims assess potential ecosystem delivered by plant communities Pama partial fauna reserve using indigenous knowledge. Therefore, ethnobotanical surveys were conducted surrounding villages reserve. Fifty open-ended interviews...
Abstract In developing countries many people depend on woody resources for their livelihoods. Monitoring human impact the populations of socio‐economically important species is therefore conservation vulnerable plants. order to assess and compare population structure regeneration patterns three multipurpose species, namely Acacia seyal Del., Balanites aegyptiaca Delile Pterocarpus lucens Lepr. in four ethnic areas sub‐Sahel Burkina Faso (Samo, Gourmantché, Fulani Mossi), we used size‐class...
West African Sudanian savanna ecosystems greatly contribute to local peoples' livelihoods and climate change mitigation. Yet, the contribution of these carbon storage remains poorly documented due lack accurate biomass predictive tools. Therefore, allometric models developed at both species-level site-level may improve stock estimation. In this study, we for estimating aboveground (AGB) tree component-, species- site-levels in Burkina Faso. Five woody species with high socio-economic...
Sorghum grain is a vital staple cereal crop for food and nutritional security rural households in Burkina Faso. However, its yields are regularly affected by environmental socio-economic constraints. Here, we aim to assess the performance yield stability of local sorghum genotypes, as well their acceptability smallholder farmers. Nine genotypes were assessed across five environments North-Sudanian zone (700–900 mm) Faso during 2019, 2020, 2021 rainy seasons. A randomized complete block with...
Arbre des savanes et forêts claires sahélo-soudaniennes à guinéennes, Bombax costatum est une espèce fortement exploitée pour ses calices menacée dans plusieurs localités au Burkina Faso. Une alternative la conservation résiderait reconnaissance de l'intérêt économique l'espèce. Cette étude évalue valeur monétaire productivité en B. fournir arguments nécessaires sa conservation. Pour ce faire, individus ont été échantillonnés trois modes d'utilisation terres ; leur production florale a...
Efforts to develop allometric models for accurate estimation of biomass and carbon sequestration in Sub-Saharan African savanna ecosystems remain inconclusive. Most available are not site-specific, hence do account the effects regional climate variabilities on tree growth capacity sequester carbon. In contrast, site-specific constitute a robust tool forest emission management context reducing emissions from deforestation degradation program (REDD+). Although have been developed several...
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, lack efficient tools to assess annual fruit production species limits sustainable management its resources. Therefore, statistics useful organize activities shea sector. This study aimed (i) interannual variation along a climatic gradient Burkina Faso, (ii) examine patterns according zones size, (iii)...
Zizka, A., A. Thiombiano, S. Dressler, B. M. I. Nacoulma, Ouédraogo, O. ouédraogo, G. K. Hahn & Schmidt (2015). The vascular plant diversity of Burkina Faso (West Africa) — a quantitative analysis and implications for conservation. Candollea 70: 9–20 In English, English French abstracts. Based on species inventory the related distribution dataset, authors present (BFA) its four phytogeographic zones. We analyzed richness, higher taxon diversity, life forms, chorological types, introduced...
There is a new attention to vegetables as vital components of daily diet.A concerted effort raise their standing has begun change mentalities and fuel rapid growth traditional leafy marketing consumption in African cities.However, little known about the production patterns these plant foods.This study examined, through field survey socio-economic, food conservation aspects region Ouagadougou.It was found that are cultivated under both rain-fed irrigated conditions villages also city's...
Atmospheric models are physical equations based on the ideal gas law. Applied to atmosphere, this law yields for water, vapor (gas), ice, air, humidity, dryness, fire, and heat, thus defining model of key atmospheric parameters. The distribution these parameters across entire planet Earth is origin formation climatic cycle, which a normal variation. To do this, divided into eight (8) parts according number be defined in representation model. Following distribution, numerical calculate...
The thermal performance of three roofing models: tile, corrugated and earth terrace is numerically analyzed. mathematical equations which govern the models are established by electrical method analogies. These discretized an implicit finite difference solved Gauss-Seidel algorithm. We analyze influences geometric parameters (Xlo, Xlarg, α Ep) on evolution temperatures different environments our roof models. In particular, we have shown that effectiveness a in reducing temperature inside room...
Background: Rural populations in sub-Saharan of Africa heavily depend on natural resources for their social and economic well-being. Endogenous knowledge capitalized plants may vary from one society to another, the sharing this local about species will contribute its development conservation. This study aims understand uses, availability conservation strategies Canarium schweinfurthii.Methods: The was conducted rural administrative centres municipality three communes Cascade Region where...
Les forêts-galeries du Burkina Faso sont menacées de disparition sous l’effet des actions anthropiques et changement climatique. Elles survivent une forme fragmentée dans le secteur sud-soudanien Faso. L’objectif cette étude est, d’une part, décrire les caractéristiques structurales groupements végétaux deux types cours d’eau, à savoir rivières ruisseaux, et, d’autre déterminer la structure démographique espèces dominantes afin d’apprécier leur dynamique. données ont été collectées suivant...
Germination characteristics studies of seeds three local species in Burkina Faso namely Parinari curatellifolia, Vitex doniana and Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides have been carried out.The aim this study was to carry out the appropriate pre-treatment temperature which give best percentage seed germination for these locales species.For that were placed different 15°C; 20°C; 25°C; 30°C; 35°C 19 from Soaking water x hours; Scalding, Cooking minute, sulfuric acid scarification decorticating applied...
Ionosphere layer is the atmosphere region which reflects radio waves for telecommunication. The density in particles this influences quality of communication. This study deals with effects Total Electron Contents (TEC) on critical frequency F2-layer. parameter symbolizes electron bulk surface ionosphere layer. Above value F2 (foF2), pass through ionosphere. knowledge enables to calibrate transmission frequencies. In study, we consider TEC foF2 under quiet time conditions during maximum and...
Climate change is a concern of our time, both at global level and community level, where its impacts vary according to context. According the Intergovernmental Panel on Change (IPCC), causes this are anthropogenic require urgent action part humanity in terms mitigation but also adaptation strengthen resilience populations.
