Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa
Societal Impact Statement Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass accumulation. By revealing how tree structural diversity and functional trait…
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…
Potential impacts of future climate on twelve key multipurpose tree species in Benin
The global decline of biodiversity threatens ecosystem stability and human well-being. This study modeled the future suitable habitats of twelve key multipurpose tree species (MPTS) in Benin under two climate scenarios, Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 245 (SSP245) and 585 (SSP585), based on a 2070 horizon. The research focused on peri‐urban areas (Cotonou, Abomey, Savalou, Parakou, Natitingou, and Kandi) and the protected areas network in Benin. We…
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…
Impacts of land use and abiotic factors on fruit, seed, and leaf morphology of the desert date Balanites aegyptiaca in Benin
Preserving intraspecific phenotypic variation within socio-economically important but declining species is fundamental in the current context of rapid change in land use and environmental conditions. Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile is a valuable seed oil tree species native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Africa. Notable morphological variations within the species are recognized by local communities, who often select trees with preferred tr…
Habitat suitability of subpopulations of Adansonia digitata L. in West Africa
For an adaptive policy to be effective, it is crucial to divide species populations into subpopulations, especially for species 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 the West Africa scale. Principal Component Analysis was used to d…
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…
Impact of climate on ecology and suitable habitat of Garcinia kola heckel in Nigeria
Garcinia kola is an indigenous multipurpose tree species, with significant cultural value and medical benefits, commonly found in the tropical rain forest zone of West and Central Africa. The species has been reported to be over-used and are now classified as vulnerable species close to commercial extinction. Hence, requires immediate conservation action. This study assessed the impact of climate on habitat for cultivation of G. kola in Nigeria. …
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…
