Within the past four decades, urbanization rates have greatly increased across Africa thus rapidly reshaping urban landscapes. Using high-resolution Landsat 8 imagery and SWOT Analysis, this study examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of urbanization and sustainable urban land use planning across three municipalities (Kozah 1, Kozah 3, and Ogou 1)...
Riparian ecosystems are recognized as large reservoirs of biodiversity providing important ecosystem services. However, the relationship between tree species diversity and ecosystem functions and the underlying ecological mechanisms have less been studied in riparian corridors. This study assessed the effect of tree diversity (taxonomic, functional...
Pseudrocedrela Kotschyi est une espèce très important pour les communautés locales en raison de ses multiples utilisations, notamment alimentaires, médicinales, industrielles et technologiques. Elle est fortement touchée par la dégradation de son habitat aussi bien en milieu naturel ainsi que dans les parcs agro-forestiers. Face à cette dégradation...
Connaître les mesures classiques de la diversité floristique est crucial pour étayer les stratégies de conservation des ressources végétales des forêts dégradées. La présente étude vise premièrement à apprécier les paramètres de diversité spécifique et structurale de la flore ligneuse des îlots forestiers du massif montagneux de Lubero et deuxièmem...
Résumé : Contexte : Les activités anthropiques et le changement climatique sont à l’origine de la fragmentation des formations
ripicoles composées de forêts galeries, de forêts ripicoles et de cordons ripicoles des cours d'eau du Burkina Faso. Cette
étude a pour but d'évaluer les effets du statut de protection (i.e. AP - aire protégée vs aire commu...
Riparian corridors provide the regulating services that are so important in maintaining the ecological functions of the landscape to which they belong. However, anthropogenic pressures generated by the search for procurement goods and services are producing significant changes in riparian ecosystems. Despite the growing interest in forest ecosystem...
Pseudocedrela kotschyi is one of the most widely exploited species in Benin. Therefore, populations of the species are faced with the issue of human disturbance. This study investigated the ethnobotanical knowledge of the species in order to set sustainable management strategies. Individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted wit...
Riparian corridors are transition zones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that provide important ecosystem services (ES). They also play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and as corridors for the dispersal of individuals and genes across the landscape. While ESs are increasingly being taken into account in the development of manag...
La foresterie urbaine et périurbaine constitue un enjeu important pour les pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Parakou, troisième ville à statut particulier du Bénin, est en pleine croissance démographique et expansion spatiale au détriment de la végétation. La présente étude analyse les perceptions des populations sur l’état actuel de la végétation, et exp...
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),...
Abstract
Background: In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Oldeania alpina (K. Schum.) Stapleton provides
multiple goods and services to rural populations and is the keystone species of mountain forest ecosystems, most
of which are in a very advanced state of degradation. The present study was carried out in Lubero cool highlands
regio...
Bamboos (Bambusiadeae) are plant resources with several virtues and uses. However, the fragmentary, partial and dispersed aspect of the information relating to the benefits of bamboo does not make it possible to easily understand the potential of the latter, in order to promote their sustainability. This article reviews knowledge on the ecological,...
La fragmentation des habitats est un sujet très abordé en écologie de la conservation et du paysage. L’impact de la fragmentation des habitats sur la diversité biologique est fondamentalement la disparition de certaines espèces. Cependant, plusieurs auteurs ont utilisé le terme fragmentation pour désigner la dégradation de l’habitat. L’intérêt de l...
Les graines de Lophira lanceolata sont utilisées au Bénin pour la production d’huile végétale, la fabrication du savon et aussi pour l’alimentation. Cette étude vise à élucider l’influence de la provenance, du stockage et des traits morphologiques (longueur, diamètre, masse) des graines de L. lanceolata sur leur germination, afin de pouvoir mieux m...
Detarium microcarpum Guill. & Perr. is a common multipurpose small tree species of Sudanian and Sudano-Guinean savannahs with high potential for use as fuelwood but little valued in forestry programs. The present study aimed at assessing the current local uses of D. microcarpum, factors determining its use as fuelwood and determine the geographical...
