In tropical West Africa, distribution patterns of forest islands in savannas are influenced by fires which occur regularly in the grass stratum. Along continuous forest–savanna transects in the Comoé National Park, the change in the amount and composition of non-woody phytomass was investigated from savanna to forest interior. This was correlated with the cover of vegetation strata above, soil depth, and the occurrence of seasonal surface fires. Phytomass mainly consisted of leaf litter in the forests (about 400 g m−2 at the end of the rainy season, and about 600 g m−2 at the end of the dry se...

AbstractRunoff performs a vital part of the water cycle by returning surplus rainfall to the lakes, rivers, and oceans. It regulates the flow of storm water into channel networks. Modeling of runoff can ensure monitoring, understanding, and managing both the quality & quantity of aqua resources. Rainfall-runoff models are often characterized by their spatial processes and model structure. The model structures are based on the governing equations. A model used to specify relation between rainfall and runoff can be categorized into empirical, conceptual, and physical frameworks. The assessment o...

In this paper, it is proposed to apply the Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) or the theory of evidence to map vegetation, aquatic and mineral surfaces with a view to detecting potential areas of observation of outcrops of geological formations (rocks, breastplates, regolith, etc.). The proposed approach consists in aggregating information by using the DST. From pretreated Aster satellite images (geo-referencing, geometric correction and resampling at 15 m), new channels were produced by determining the spectral indices NDVI, MNDWI and NDBaI. Then, the DST formalism was modeled and generated under t...

Located in northwestern Niger, the Tim Mersoï Basin (TMB) is an important mining region in the scale of West Africa. Groundwater is considered the main source of fresh water in the basin, especially for mining activities. It, therefore, appears essential to monitor their responses to these activities. However, no study has been carried out in the Tim Mersoï Basin. This study aims to evaluate the groundwater storage changes (GWSC) of the TMB and to analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of the Tarat aquifer under the effect of mining activities in the Arlit region. For this purpose, Gravity Reco...

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are the most widespread plant symbiosis on earth. This symbiosis is well-known for its positive impact on cultivated plant yields. Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) plays an important role in the economic prosperity of Cote d’Ivoire. However, cocoa yields remain low due to a loss of soil fertility and pest and disease damages. The myccorhizal symbiosis could be a way of resolving these constraints. However, its use requires the knowledge of the fungi symbionts. This study aimed at evaluating the diversity of arbuscular myccorhizal fungi (AMF) associated with cocoa in the Yamoussou...

Pesticides are used in agriculture for the control of pests and weedy species. Unfortunately, these chemicals are a potential risk for environment contamination and human toxicity. Market gardening soils are vulnerable to human activities because of the pesticide use. The objective of this work was to make a rapid and adequate diagnosis of the conditions of pesticide use by market gardeners. Thus, a view to assess the real impact of their use on the risk of soil pollution has been established. For this purpose, interviews and questionnaires were submitted to 243 market gardeners in Port-Bouët,...

AbstractThere is significant interest in using biomass for power generation as coal continues to raise environmental concerns. Agricultural biomass residue-based energy generation has become one of the major focus areas of renewable energy in different countries around the world. This study quantifies the agricultural crop residues available like rice, coffee and cocoa in the rural areas in Côte d’Ivoire for energy generation purposes. Thereby, an assessment of the energy potential of these agricultural crop residues has been carried out. The results of this analysis reveal that the theoretica...

Though African American literature can be regarded by some theorists as a means of defining the racial self, a postmodernist reading of Ishmael Reed’s Flight to Canada delves into the intrinsic value of that literature which supersedes the traditional racial connotation ascribed to it. Reed not only castigates the metanarrative of the American cultural and democratic thought through the exposure of its inconstancies and the criticism of traditional ideas on race and ethnicity, but he also gives proof of his creative genius by operating a carnivalization of the novel genre itself.

In Côte d'Ivoire, the non-alcoholic beverage industry is gradually turning to fruits from local wild species. More and more products from the latter are entering the market. Black plum, fruit of Vitex doniana, very pleasant and rich in bioactive compounds, has been transformed into nectar without the addition of preservatives. As a result, this product remains subject to a possible alteration of its nutritional quality and to reduction of its shelf life. Monitoring of the evolution of certain biochemical parameters of traditional nectar of black plums stored at different temperatures, for thre...
