In the Sahel, wind erosion increases the vulnerability of sandy soil through the removal of
the finest and most fertile fraction of the soil, including nutrients, potentially limiting …

To assess the extent to which trees in a semi-arid silvopastoral system (SPS) can offset the
greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions of the system's livestock, this study used two process …

Experimental data on precipitation chemistry were collected at a semi-arid savanna in
Senegal (Dahra) in 2013, 2014 and 2017. The chemical composition of precipitation was …

This paper explores an original approach in which greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
carbon (C) accumulation are assessed monthly and at landscape scale to account for the …

For nearly 30 years, the International Network to study Deposition and Atmospheric
chemistry in AFrica (INDAAF) programme has measured surface ozone from 14 sites in …

Au Sahel, la végétation se compose d'une strate herbacée principalement composée de
plantes annuelles et d'une strate ligneuse peu dense dominée par des épineux. Dans cette …

Ammonia (NH 3) plays a central role in the chemistry of inorganic secondary aerosols in the
atmosphere. The largest emission sector for NH 3 is agriculture, where NH 3 is volatilized …

Quantifying wind erosion and dust emissions in the semi-arid Sahel remains challenging
because of the large seasonal and interannual dynamics of surface properties. The …

The alternating between dry and wet seasons and the consecutive microbial responses to
soil water content in semiarid ecosystems has significant consequences on nitrogen …

West African Sahelian and Sudanian ecosystems are providing essential services to people
and also play a significant role within the global carbon cycle. However, climate and land …
