About this book

This book is a study of the woody vegetation in the Maggia catchment area in Tahou. This catchment area is an ecosystem that contributes to the resilience of the communities in the municipality of Bagaroua. Indeed, during the dry season, local people make use of the watershed valley by growing various types of off-season crops, the main one being dolique, a species of bean very rich in protein. Within this catchment, woody vegetation maintains the ecosystem's balance by protecting the valley from water and wind erosion, thereby allowing the water table to recharge. However, despite recurrent droughts and excessive logging of these forest resources, the catchment's ecosystem is facing a problem of premature groundwater drawdown due to siltation. The aim of this study is to characterise this woody vegetation in order to identify the different species, as well as the biological and phytosociological types, with a view to sustainable management for the benefit of local communities.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
