In the Sahel, under 500 mm of annual rainfall, wind erosion is an important factor leading to the degradation of the environment. It causes soil losses and reduces soil productivity. This work, conducted in the southwestern Niger, aims at quantifying wind erosion fluxes using BSNE sand traps. The study was conducted, from 2006 to 2014, on a plot fi...
Southern Tunisia is a region very prone to wind erosion because of its soil features, and the development of mechanized agriculture. Moreover, this region is located downwind the Sahara, which is the main source of mineral dust in the world. For these reasons, dust haze is frequently observed in this region. If some authors have already documented ...
Au Sahel, l'érosion éolienne cause des pertes en terres et en nutriments. Au Niger méridional, cette orme érosion est une cause majeure de la dégradation de l'environnement. Le paysage de ce milieu est dominé par une juxtaposition de surfaces exploitées sous culture pluviale, et de jachères d'âges différents. L'objectif de ce travail est de quantif...

Dans le Manga (Sud-est du Niger), l'un des effets de la pression anthropique et de la variation climatique se traduit la disparition de la végétation qui a pour principale conséquence la mobilisation du sable dunaire. L'objectif de ce travail est de caractériser l'érosion éolienne au niveau des dunes vives. Spécifiquement, il s'agit de i) mesurer l...
Simultaneous measurements of saltation, wind speed, and rainfall performed in Niger before, during, and after 18 rain events are used to investigate how rain events affect wind erosion in the Sahel. The results show that the inhibition of saltation is rapid but progressive after the beginning of a rain event. The decrease of sand transport during t...
