Les facteurs climatiques et anthropiques sont à l’origine de la régression de la population de nombreuses espèces ligneuses en zone soudanienne. Anogeissus leiocarpa, Bombax costatum et Detarium microcarpum sont des espèces qui ont une importance socio-économique avérée et donc elles se révèlent être vulnérables. L’évaluation comparée de l’état des peuplements des trois espèces dans les aires protégées et non protégées suivant le gradient climatique permettra de disposer d’informations utiles pour leur gestion durable. La structure des populations a été évaluée à partir d’inventaires forestiers basés sur un échantillonnage aléatoire à travers des parcelles rectangulaires de 1000 m². Les individus dont le diamètre du tronc à 1,3 m de hauteur est supérieur ou égal à 5 cm ont été mesurés. La régénération (individus à D1,3 m < 5 cm) a été comptée par classe de hauteur dans des sous-placettes de 25 m². Les densités et les surfaces terrières des trois espèces varient significativement suivant le gradient de protection dans chaque secteur climatique. A. leiocarpa et D. microcarpum possèdent de bonnes structures démographiques dans les deux secteurs climatiques soudaniens, indépendamment du type d’utilisation de terres. Seule la densité de B. costatum montre une différence significative le long du gradient climatique entre les aires protégées. L’étude révèle l’importance des aires protégées dans la conservation de ces espèces vulnérables.Mots clés : Burkina Faso, zone soudanienne, aires protégées, aires non protégées, espèces vulnérables, conservation.   Climate and land use types are mainly responsible for the decline of many woody species in Sudanian areas. Anogeissus leiocarpa, Bombax costatum and Detarium microcarpum are high-value but vulnerable species due to the anthropogenic pressure. The compared assessment of the state of the targeted species in the protected and unprotected areas along the climatic gradient will provide information that could help implementing sustainable management of these species. The population structures were evaluated from forest inventories based on a random sampling through rectangular plots of 1000 m². The adult individuals of each species with diameters ≥ 5 cm at 1.30 m of heigh were measured. The juvenile individual with diameters that were less than 5 cm were counted and classified into height classes within plots size of 25 m². The structural characteristic of the targeted species vary significantly between land uses within each climatic zone. A. leiocarpa and D. microcarpum showed a stable population structure between the two climatic sectors, irrespective of management regimes. Only density of B. costatum shows a significant difference in the PAs and along climatic gradient. The study reveals the importance of protected areas for these vulnerable species conservations.Keywords: Burkina Faso, Sudanian zone, protected areas, unprotected areas, vulnerable species, conservation.

AbstractThe success of terrestrial carbon sequestration projects for rural development in sub-Saharan Africa lies in the (i) involvement of local populations in the selection of woody species, which represent the biological assets they use to meet their daily needs, and (ii) information about the potential of these species to store carbon. Although the latter is a key prerequisite, there is very little information available. To help fill this gap, the present study was undertaken in four pilot villages (Kou, Dao, Vrassan and Cassou) in Ziro Province, south-central Burkina Faso. The objective was to determine carbon storage potential for top-priority woody species preferred by local smallholders. We used (i) participatory rural appraisal consisting of group discussions and key informant interviews to identify priority species and functions, and (ii) landscape assessment of carbon stocks in the preferred woody species. Results revealed over 79 priority tree and shrub species grouped into six functions, of which medicine, food and income emerge as the most important ones for the communities. For these functions, smallholders overwhelmingly listed Vitellaria paradoxa, Parkia biglobosa, Afzelia africana, Adansonia digitata, Detarium microcarpum, and Lannea microcarpa among the most important tree species. Among the preferred woody species in Cassou and Kou, the highest quantity of carbon was stored by V. paradoxa (1,460.6 ±271.0 kg C ha−1 to 2,798.1±521.0 kg C ha−1) and the lowest by Grewia bicolor (1.6±1.3 kg C ha−1). The potential carbon stored by the preferred tree communities was estimated at 5,766.2 Mg C ha−1 (95% CI: 5,258.2; 6,274.2 Mg C ha−1) in Kou and 6,664.0 Mg C ha−1 (95% CI: 5,810.2; 7,517.8 Mg C ha−1) in Cassou. The findings of this study will help design data-based development of biocarbon projects, which are rare in the West African Sahel despite being considered as one of the most impactful climate change resilient strategies.

This work aims to fill a gap in knowledge of the Burkina Faso Southern Sudanese flora and vegetation. The woody vegetation of the forest park of the Scholl Complex in Léo comprises a total of 26 families, 63 genera and 81 species including native and introduced ones. The fallow is the unit that contains all families and genera and 93% of species. The most abundant species of units of the Park are Terminalia avicennioides (Combretaceae), Piliostigma thonningii (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae), Daniellia oliveri (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae), Vitellaria paradoxa (Sapotaceae), Detarium microcarpum (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae), Diospyros mespiliformis (Ebenaceae), Annona senegalensis (Annonaceae) and Pteleopsis suberosa (Combretaceae).The species that regenerate the most and that will ensure the sustainability of the peri-urban forest resources are Gardenia erubescens (Rubiaceae), Piliostigma reticulatum (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae), Vitellaria paradoxa, Annona senegalensis, Terminalia avicennioides (Combretaceae), Diospyros mespilifomis and Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae). The most threats on vegetation and flora of the School Complex are fraudulent human exploitation, parasitic pressure and progressive intrusion of Azadirachta indica.Peri-urban park resources conservation measures concern the replanting of vegetation in degraded areas and incentives for wood production for local populations. A management program for threatened or rare species, control of invasive alien plants and domestic animals and the development and improvement of habitat to create a future urban park.

Objectif : L’objectif de cette étude est d’identifier les espèces utilisées comme bois d’énergie pendant la cuisson de la bière locale et la transformation des amandes de karité en beurre, d’apprécier les niveaux exploitation de ces espèces et de cerner les raisons des préférences d’utilisation de ces espèces. Méthodologie et résultats : Une enquête a été conduite auprès des femmes productrices pour connaître les espèces utilisées prioritairement comme bois énergie. Une estimation du pouvoir calorique des espèces les plus utilisées a été faite au laboratoire. Dix-neuf (19) espèces ligneuses appartenant à onze (11) familles ont été citées comme entrant dans la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité. Le bois de ces espèces a montré un pouvoir calorifique plus élevé, justifiant les préférences des femmes pour celles-ci. Cependant, la disponibilité des espèces dans les villages reste déterminante pour le choix de leur utilisation. Conclusion et application des résultats : La connaissance des préférences des espèces prioritaires utilisées comme source d’énergie par les femmes constitue une information cruciale pour le choix des espèces à produire pour la restauration du couvert végétal des terroirs villageois. Aussi, la présente étude recommandet-elle ces essences préférées des femmes pour la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité comme espèces ligneuses à produire par les pépiniéristes pour les campagnes de plantation d’arbres dans les terroirs villageois Mots clés : bois-énergie, pouvoir calorifique, bière locale, beurre de karité, Burkina Faso ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the species used as fuelwood during the cooking of local beer and the processing of shea kernels into butter, to assess the use levels of these species and to identify the reasons for the preferences of these species. Methodology and results: A survey was conducted among women producers to find out the species used mainly as fuelwood. An estimate of the caloric value of the most used species was made in the laboratory. Nineteen (19) woody species belonging to eleven (11) families were cited as being used to cook local beer and shea butter. The wood of these species showed a higher calorific value, justifying the women's Dao et al., J. Appl. Biosci. 2020 Préférences des femmes et pouvoir calorifique d’essences de bois d’énergie utilisées pour la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité au Burkina Faso 16140 preferences for them. However, the availability of the species in the villages remains a determining factor in the choice of their use. Conclusion and application of results: Knowledge of the preferences of priority species used as energy source by women become crucial information for the choice of species to be produced for the restoration of the vegetation cover of village landscapes. Therefore, the present study recommends these species preferred by women for the cooking of the local bee and the shea butter as woody species to be produced by nurserymen for tree-planting campaigns in the village landscapes. Key words: Fuelwood, calorific value, local beer, shea butter, Burkina Faso

Participatory Analysis

Agroforestry parklands face strong pressure from the increasing population of the region. The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF Sahel) started a biodiversity project with the objective of developing methods to conserve biodiversity and to improve the situation of the poor rural population. In this context the present study examined the influence of land use unit and the prosperity classes of farmers on the biodiversity of woody species. A wealth ranking classification was carried out and applied to the households of two villages in the central plateau of Burkina Faso using the "Participatory Analysis of Poverty and Livelihood Dynamics" (PAPoLD) method. Thirty farmers of different prosperity classes were chosen and inventories carried out on their different land use units. Statistical analyses show an increase in biodiversity from the village housings. However, no significant influence on biodiversity was observed in connection with a farmer's prosperity class.
