“…This can be explained according to [22] by the protection and maintenance of certain woody species in the fields and particularly those with socio-economic interest. These results are different from those recorded by [23] Diatta et al who found a regeneration of 1 individual/ha at Keur Samba DIA in the groundnut basin.…”

“…Other reported benefits of including legumes into crop rotations are greater microbial and crop diversity, soil fertility, and reduction of pest incidence (Diatta et al 2016a;Franke et al 2018;Giller 2001;Matusso et al 2014;Singh et al 2020;Vanlauwe et al 2019). In addition, legume crops are an important and economic source of protein, minerals, and vitamins in human diets and animal feed under smallholder agriculture (Diatta et al 2016b;Graham and Vance 2003;Tharanathan and Mahadevamma 2003).…”

Ensuring food and nutritional security in light of high climate variability and a rapidly growing population remains a challenge. Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is a short duration, drought-tolerant, and ureide-exporting legume crop capable of symbiotic atmospheric nitrogen fixation. Estimates of biological N 2 fixation by mungbean in different soil textures have not been extensively studied. We conducted this study to evaluate plant growth and N 2 fixation of five mungbean genotypes (Berken, 8735, IC 8972-1, STB#122, 223) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium spp. and grown on loamy sand and silt loam soils under glasshouse conditions. Mungbean dry matter yield, δ 15 N values, shoot content, amounts of N-fixed, and soil N uptake were all higher on the silt loam soil compared to the loamy sand soil, demonstrating the effects of soil properties on plant growth and N 2 fixation potential. Among genotypes, IC 8972-1 produced the highest biomass (7.85 g plant −1), shoot N content (200 mg plant −1), and soil N uptake (155 mg plant −1) than other genotypes. The significant interaction between soil texture and genotypes for root dry matter and %Ndfa indicates the major role of legume root-nodule bacteria in symbiotic N 2 fixation. This study demonstrated that N 2 fixation in mungbean is affected by both genotypes and soil properties, illustrating the need to consider soil properties in order to maximize N contribution from mungbean to agricultural production systems.

“…A total of 25 tree species were recorded; 75% of the individuals belonged to just two species: Cordyla pinnata and Azadirachta indica, the latter being an exotic species. In the same area, a total of 35 species with a tree density less than four individual per hectare was found by Diatta et al (2016b).…”

Trees are rapidly disappearing from agrarian landscapes in many tropical countries, a severe problem to rural populations, who depend on wood and non-timber forest products (NTFP) for their livelihoods. The aim of this study was to determine tree density, diversity, biomass and carbon stock in farmlands in Senegal and to gain insight in the socio-economic determinants of the tree cover. An allometric model was developed to estimate the average above ground biomass (AGB) based on field investigations of 235.5 ha of agricultural fields. In total, 25 tree species were recorded with an average density of 1.6 tree ha-1 and a canopy cover of 1%. The AGB was 8.9 t. ha-1 corresponding to 4.45 t C ha-1. A single species, Cordyla pinnata, accounted for 50% of all the trees censured. Investigations of google Earth images showed considerable change in tree density during the investigated periods (2004, 2009 and 2013). The tree density decreased at the rate of 3% per year-1 from 2004-2009 and 6.4% per year-1 from 2009-2013. Based on these results, all the trees would be lost in 30 years from 2009 and in 16 years from 2013 if this trend continues. Informants were generally interested in increasing the number of fruit trees. On average, they were willing to allocate 19% of their land for planting of new trees. Tree planting, however, has not been traditionally considered an option by the landowners, since livestock damage on young trees was too big and fencing not an option, but the recent years tree planting with certification for carbon sale has been initiated with support from outside.Keywords: Africa, forest resources, deforestation, local management, woody biomass.
