Plant density and tiller cunts were done in several Sahelian rangelands in Mali, under a variety of soil, rainfall and grazing situations. Numeric models were developed to explain the dynamic relationship between grass tillering and herb density. Tests of application of these models to the plant ...

Twenty-five rangeland sites were monitored over two decades (1984–2006) first to assess the impact of the 1983–1984 droughts on fodder resources, then to better understand ecosystem functioning and dynamics. Sites are sampled along the south–north bioclimatic gradient in Gourma (Mali), within thr...

Les auteurs analysent la saisonnalite de la feuillaison de 28 especes ligneuses saheliennes afin de caracteriser les disponibilites saisonnieres en feuillage fourrager ainsi que leurs variations interannuelles. Pour chacune des especes, des branchettes de meme calibre ont ete echantillonnees chaq...

The patterns of the changes in woody plant population densities, size and species composition is documented and discussed for 24 rangeland sites monitored from 1984 to 2006 in Gourma (Mali). The sites are sampled along the North–South bioclimatic gradient on each of the main soils and levels of g...
