Species accumulation within land use and tree diameter categories in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Senegal

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Although farmers have managed west African parkland savanna systems for 1,000 of years, concerns have been raised about the sustainability of these agro-ecosystems due to human population growth, shortening of fallow periods, droughts, desertification and new orientations towards cash generation away from subsistence farming. We conducted a tree diversity survey in 16 villages from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Se...
