The effects of grazing by livestock on plant species composition and spatial distribution have been studied at Sadoré, Niger. Herbaceous species were recorded in plots of increasing size from 1/64 to 1024 m2 in ten fallow plots subjected to five different grazing treatments over the previous 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 ...

This article presents an analysis of ERS-1 wind-scatterometer (WSC) data acquired over a region located in the northern Sahel. The considered period extends from January 1992 to December 1995, that is, covering four vegetation cycles. Experimental observations show that WSC responses at 45° of i...

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...

An experiment was conducted in 1996 and 1997 in semi-arid Niger, to determine the influence of supplementation (no supplement, millet bran + simple superphosphate, or millet bran + simple superphosphate + blood meal) for cattle and mulching (0 or 3 t ha-1 of Aristida sieberiana straw) on soil fer...

ERS wind scatterometer (WSC) time series are analyzed over different ecoclimatic regions of the African Sahel during the period 1991–1995. At 45° incidence angle, the strong seasonality of o time series can be directly linked to the successive wet and dry seasons. Moreover, the annual o dynami...

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...

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...
