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...

The West African Sahel rainfall regime is known for its spatio-temporal variability at different scales which has a strong impact on vegetation development. This study presents results of the combined use of a simple water balance model, a radiative transfer model and ERS scatterometer data to ...

ERS wind scatterometer (WSC) and SSNI/I data are compared for monitoring the seasonal variation of herbaceous vegetation over a sahelian region. Temporal evolution of polarization difference brightness temperatures derived from SSM/I data and WSC backscattering coefficient acquired at 45° of inci...

1. growth and nutrient-uptake responses of annual rangeland to defoliation were studied at 13 sandy range sites located across the Sahelian zone of mali between 1977 and 1989. 34 clipping experiments (site-years) were conducted using identical treatment designs with respect to the timing and freq...

In the Sahelian rangelands biomass production is constrained by soil moisture in the drier (100-250 mm) parts and by soil nutrients in the wetter parts. Similarly, for a given Sahelian range, nutrient deficiency would be more prominent in good than in poor rainfall years. To test this hypothesis,...
