The savanna-woodlands of West Africa have been subject to disturbance by fire, grazing and tree cutting for centuries. Often the disturbance is severe, for instance when a thick patch of 4 m tall perennial grass catches fire late in the dry season or man decides to clear-cut an area. Fortunately ...

Resilience of Sudanian: savanna-woodlands in Burkina Faso
Fire, grazing, browsing and tree cutting are major anthropogenic determinants of vegetation patterns in African savannas. In Burkina Faso forest management policies prohibit grazing while recommending annual early fire and selective tree cutting of 50% of the merchantable standing volume on a 20-...

Long-term effects of prescribed early fire, grazing and selective tree cutting on seedling population in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso
Annual early fire, selective tree cutting and exclusion of grazing are currently used as management tools in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso although their longterm effects on seedling recruitment are poorly documented. A factorial experiment involving fire, grazing and cutting, each with t...

A series of projects In Burkina Faso, West Africa, started in the 1980s led to the establishment of a system of joint forest management that should be sustainable, produce wood fuel to the nation’s capital and allow local people to engage and benefit from management of their forests. The model te...

Fuel characteristics, fire behaviour and temperature were studied in relation to grazing, dominant grass type and wind direction in West African savanna–woodland by lighting 32 prescribed early fires. Grazing significantly reduced the vegetation height, total fuel load, and dead and live fuel fra...

Fuel and fire characteristics in savanna–woodland of West Africa in relation to grazing and dominant grass type
In West Africa policies for prescribed early fire and livestock grazing in the savanna woodlands are rarely based on long-term experimental studies. The inherently different management characteristics and their effects on the vegetation dynamics make landscape degradation a contentious issue. The...

Au Burkina Faso, l’aménagement des forêts naturelles a pour principaux objectifs l’exploitation du bois de feu et du pâturage. Il concerne également des activités secondaires tels que la chasse et le développement du tourisme de vision. Ces activités se concentrent principalement dans les régions...
