Ecosystem services of woody species along an ecological disturbance gradient in Sudanian savannas of western Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Background: Ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly threatened by intense human pressure leading to species over-exploitation and ecosystem degradation. This study aims to assess the potential ES delivered by woody species under varying ecological disturbance levels and land use/land cover classes through indigenous knowledge. Methods: To this end, ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in three areas of Burkina Faso: the Watershed of Dano, villa…
Use patterns and population dynamics of Boscia salicifolia Oliv. in Boussouma, Burkina Faso
Leafy vegetables play a vital role in food and nutritional security across sub-Saharan Africa, but increasing human pressures threaten their sustainability. This study investigated the ethnobotanical uses, population dynamics, and conservation needs of Boscia salicifolia Oliv. in Boussouma, Burkina Faso. Ethnobotanical data were collected from 140 informants, stratified by gender, age, and education, using semi-structured questionnaires to docume…
Quantifying ecosystem services from savannah plants species in Sudanian region in eastern Burkina Faso, West Africa
Identification of species that provide both a high levels of provisioning services and good carbon sequestration capacity, is crucial to encourage people to conserve and reforest those species. This study aims to highlight the importance of the services provided by Anogeissus leiocarpa and Detarium microcarpum by assessing the quantity of their provisioning services and carbon storage to encourage their conservation and planting. Bark of Anogeiss…
Local knowledge on population structure and conservation of Lannea species in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Local people are aware of the factors affecting the habitats of Lannea spp. • Lannea spp. populations have regressed in their habitats. • Women are more likely than men to know the population dynamics of Lannea spp. • Local people adopt strategies to conserve Lannea spp . Fruit trees occupy an important place in the daily life of people in West Africa, but the most valuable species are often overexploited and undergo severe threats. This study fo…
Characteristics and socioeconomic performance of neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) production systems in Burkina Faso
Agricultural systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are often characterized by low agrodiversity and high vulnerability to climate change, both of which can compromise food security and livelihoods. Many neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) are known for their nutritional value and climate resilience, presenting a potential solution to conserve agrodiversity and contribute to local livelihoods and food security. However, NUS is commonly u…

Diversity of plants used in traditional veterinary medicine in Central-Eastern Burkina Faso
Background: In the West African Sahel, ethnoveterinary medicine is widely practiced by livestock farmers but remains poorly documented. This study aims to describe the medicinal plants and traditional recipes used for treating major animal diseases in Burkina Faso, specifically in the Centre-Eastern region. Methods: Semi-structured surveys were conducted from August to October 2024 with 120 livestock farmers randomly selected from five communes i…
The role of Balanites aegyptiaca (L) Delile in the livelihood and local economy in Sahelian and Sudano-Sahelian zones of Burkina Faso
Ethnobotanical knowledge and conservation of Bombax costatum Pellegr. and Vuillet
In regions dominated by savannahs, multipurpose tree species are key resources considering the diversity of services they offer. Such species are proned to overexploitation and improper management that may threaten their survival. Understanding local perception on their uses and conservation is essential to engage local communities in their sustainable management. This study presents the case-study of Bombax costatum in the semi-arid region of Bu…
Impact of vegetation types on the floristic diversity, the availability and the ecological characteristics of five woody species stands used in the management of hypertension and diabetes in southern …
Local perception of ecosystem services and their conservation in Sudanian savannas of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Context In Burkina Faso, Sudanian savannas are important ecosystems for conservation of plant diversity. Due to desertification and insecurity, population migration from the North has increased human density and anthropogenic pressure on southern savannas. This study aims to investigate knowledge of local populations on ecosystem services (ES) and perception of their conservation. Method Individual semi-structured interviews about knowledge on ES…
Allometric models for improving aboveground biomass estimates in West African savanna ecosystems
West African Sudanian savanna ecosystems greatly contribute to local peoples’ livelihoods and climate change mitigation. Yet, the contribution of these ecosystems to carbon storage remains poorly documented due to the lack of accurate biomass predictive tools. Therefore, biomass allometric models developed at both the species-level and site-level may greatly improve carbon stock estimation. In this study, we developed allometric models for estima…
Climate influence on the distribution of the yellow plum (Ximenia Americana L.) in Burkina Faso
Yellow plum (Ximenia americana L.) is an indigenous and multipurpose tree species widely used in West Africa and especially in Burkina Faso. Most of the species’ organs are mainly used for traditional medicine in rural communities. Despite its high use value, little is known about the species distribution pattern. This study aims to assess the potential impacts of climate conditions on the spatial distribution of suitable habitats for X. american…
Traditional knowledge and cultural importance of Gardenia erubescens Stapf & Hutch. in Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND: Traditional knowledge (TK) on the different uses of under-valued fruit tree species including Gardenia erubescens Stapf & Hutch.-a plant species of least concern (LC) based on International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification yet considered threatened due to overharvesting by a National Assessment in addition to 59 other species in Burkina Faso. This study aimed to collect and synthesize information on traditional k…
Use patterns, use values and management of Afzelia africana Sm. in Burkina Faso
This study showed the multipurpose uses of A. africana throughout Burkina Faso. The results provide relevant social and ecological indicators to all stakeholders and constitute a springboard towards the species domestication and the elaboration of efficient sustainable conservation plans
The use of biomass production and allometric models to estimate carbon sequestration of Jatropha curcas L. plantations in western Burkina Faso
Traditional plant use in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
The national-scale analysis revealed systematic patterns of traditional plant use throughout BFA. These results are of interest for applied research, as a detailed knowledge of traditional plant use can a) help to communicate conservation needs and b) facilitate future research on drug screening
