CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Soil infiltrability and water content as affected by Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) and Nere (Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth.) trees in farmed parklands of West Africa

Exporter la citation

The effect of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) and né ré (Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth.) trees on soil water content and water infiltration was investigated in farmed parkland at Nobé ré , Burkina Faso, West Africa. Soil infiltrability was measured using tension head infiltrometers under trees and in an open field. Soil water content was determined gravimetrically. Soil infiltrability was higher below the edge of tree crowns compared with the open. There were no differences in infiltrability between soil under both tree species and in the open field. However, soil infiltrability increased from tree trunks to crown edges. This is probably due to tillage and / or higher compaction under trees than in the open field. In contrast to soil infiltrability, soil moisture was higher under tree crowns compared with the open field, perhaps due to higher organic matter content and reduced evaporation under trees.
