Controlling organic and mineral fertilisation is a major concern in tropical environments. An experiment was conducted on an arenosol in the Dakar region, the main market gardening area of Senegal, to evaluate treatments commonly used by farmers. Seven treatments were repeated three times: A mineral fertilisation (MF) treatment based on N-P2O5-K2O ...

Au début des années 1990, l’épidémiologie descriptive de l’épilepsie tropicale a préalablement visé la détermination d’indicateurs de prévalence, plus rarement d’incidence et encore plus rarement en proposant une bonne représentativité nationale ou macro-régionale. Dans un second temps, durant la décennie 2000, la recherche des facteurs expliquant ...

Aim: Tree crowns determine light interception, carbon and water exchange. Thus, understanding the factors causing tree crown allometry to vary at the tree and stand level matters greatly for the development of future vegetation modelling and for the calibration of remote sensing products. Nevertheless, we know little about large-scale variation and...

The inventory model 'PestLCI Consensus', originally developed for temperate conditions, estimates initial pesticide emission fractions to air, to off-field surfaces by drift deposition, and to field crop and field soil surfaces according to crop foliar interception characteristics. Since crop characteristics and application techniques differ in tro...

Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to regrow naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during secondary succession and how their recovery is interrelated using 77 sites across the tropics. Tropical forests are highly resilient to low-intensity land use; after 20 y...

Dans un monde confronté aux changements climatiques et à des pandémies en lien avec la destruction des milieux naturels, les enjeux liés à la préservation de la biodiversité sont dorénavant bien connus et ont donné lieu à des accords internationaux majeurs, comme le protocole de Nagoya. Dans ce contexte mondial, les recherches menées au Sud sont pr...

Due to its controversies, oil palm cultivation has been targeted by regulatory innovations. Among these, transnational efforts—such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and corporate commitments to zero deforestation have been highly influential but often tend to overvalue environmental over socio-economic outcomes. This article discuss...

One health (OH) approaches have increasingly been used in the last decade in the fight against zoonotic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, descriptions of such collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors are still limited for French-speaking tropical countries. The objective of the current survey was to explo...

Comment concevoir des projets de conservation et développement qui permettent des changements durables ? Comment en augmenter l’efficacité et la légitimité ? Les incitations économiques classiques des politiques environnementales (certification, gestion durable des forêts, paiements pour services environnementaux, crédits verts, etc.) sont efficace...

Quoi de plus complexe que la forêt tropicale et les relations que les humains tissent avec elle ? Pourtant, ou plutôt pour cette raison, les clichés, les raccourcis, les malentendus et même les contresens, foisonnent dans des discours trop volontiers simplistes. L'objectif de ce livre, conçu et rédigé par une équipe de chercheurs, est au contraire,...
