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…
Climate-driven shifts in the geographic distribution of fodder trees in West Africaʼs Grazing landscapes
West African pastures host several valuable fodder tree species which are essential for livestock rearing. Among these, Cordyla pinnata and Boscia senegalensis play a particularly significant role in the region’s landscape, providing both food products and high-quality fodder for livestock. However, these species face an increase anthropogenic threat, which compromises their long-term availability. Despite their importance, little is known about …
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…
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…
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…
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
