Effect of livestock manure on soil microbial and nutrient dynamics in zaï cropping systems of the Sahel
Salifou Traoré, Pauline Ouédraogo, Philippe Bayen, Babou André Bationo, Nathan Lee, Nicola Lorenz, Richard P. Dick
Abstract The zaï cropping system that involves precision manure placement in small excavated soil pits is designed to restore the productivity of encrusted and degraded soils of the Sahel. However, there is little information on the effectiveness of zaï cropping to improve soil quality, particularly as to how it relates to manure sources. Ther(...)

Influence of climate and forest attributes on aboveground carbon storage in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Larba Hubert Balima, François N’Guessan Kouamé, Philippe Bayen, Moussa Ganamé, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma, Adjima Thiombiano, Soro Dodiomon
West African ecosystems play an important role in offsetting carbon inputs and climate change impacts. However, whereas the role of these ecosystems in carbon sequestration has been investigated, there is a paucity in the literature regarding the spatial variation and the drivers of carbon storage in tree aboveground biomass (AGB). This study(...)

LE SYSTÈME CONSONANTIQUE DU MAYAA, DIALECTE SÃ́N, PARLER DE BANGASSOGO (SPB)
Tiga Alain OUEDRAOGO et Adama DIO
Abstract: The phonological analysis of the consonantal segments of Mayaa
(the sã́n dialect spoken in Bangassogo), has been carried out on each unit
according to whether it is considered under the paradigmatic axis or under
the syntagmatic axis. This resulted in 18 consonant phonemes. We used two
types of definitions: the definition accordi(...)

Effect of water stress on growth and dry matter distribution of four dryland species used in tree planting in the Sahel
Philippe Bayen, Anne Mette Lykke, François Wenemi Kagambèga, Fidèle Bognounou, Adjima Thiombiano
Abstract Water stress is the most important factor limiting early survival and growth of seedlings in arid and semi-arid zones. Many woody species develop adaptive mechanisms in response to water stress. This study assesses survival rate, growth and dry matter distribution in response to water stress in four dryland species (Senegalia dudgeoni(...)

Occurrence, behaviour and environmental risk assessment of trace metals in stream sediments from southwestern Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubakar Sako, Mamadou Nimi, Sâga Sawadogo & Abdoul-Azise Kafohé Hema
In this study, the influence of source area weathering and provenance on the stream sediment geochemistry as well as the environmental impacts of selected potentially toxic trace elements (PTE) were evaluated. Four components derived from the R-mode factor analysis of additive logratio-transformed data pointed to the combined influence of weat(...)

Le Burkina Faso est reconnu en Afrique de l’Ouest comme le pays « des
deux roues » parce que le moyen de locomotion le plus pratique et le plus
utilisé est la moto. Cette familiarité des populations avec les deux roues

Evaluation des teneurs en éléments traces métalliques des sols soumis à l’apport des déchets urbains solides
Lambiénou YE, Désiré Jean Pascal LOMPO, Aboubakar SAKO1 et Hassan Bismarck NACRO
D’importantes quantités de déchets urbains solides (DUS), renfermant parfois des éléments traces métalliques (ETM), sont utilisées pour fertiliser les sols agricoles. Le but de cette étude est d’évaluer les concentrations en ETM des sols péri-urbains de la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso soumis à l’épandage des DUS. Des échantillons composites de sols(...)

Oboussa SOUGUE et Béli Mathieu DAÏLA
Jacques Prosper Bazié est un écrivain burkinabè qui aborde la
lancinante question de la tradition et de la modernité. Dans son recueil poétique
Orphelins des collines ancestrales, il retrace le parcours d'un orphelin, un
Sahélien en butte aux mutations socioculturelles et aux élans suicidaires de la
modernité proposée par l'Occident. Cet é(...)

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a legume whose immature pods are consumed
and marketed. However, it suffers yield losses due to attacks of aphid-transmitted mosaic
disease. The present work is a study of the genetic resistance of twelve (12) varieties of
vegetable cowpea to Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus (CABMV) at Kamboinsé. The(...)

Psidium guajava is widely used in the central plateau of Burkina Faso to treat many diseases among which hypertension. Aqueous leaf extract of this plant was evaluated on wistar rat aorta precontracted by Norepinephrine (NE) or 5-hydroxytrytamine (5-HT). The results showed endothelium-independent vasodilation. The plant extract relaxed NE and(...)
