Microbiology and Macrofaunal Activity in Soil beneath Shrub Canopies during Residue Decomposition in Agroecosystems of the Sahel
Sire Diedhiou-Sall,Ekwe L. Dossa,Ibrahima Diedhiou,Aminata N. Badiane,Komi Assigbetse,S. A. N. Samba,M. Khouma,M. Sene,Richard P. Dick +8 more
TL;DR: Hochst et al. as discussed by the authors developed fundamental microbial information about nonthermal decomposition of these residues as influenced by the shrub canopy, litter, and root system, and provided a basis for developing improved, non-thermal management of coppiced shrub residue while still allowing preparation of favorable seedbeds for row crops.

Insecticide residues in soil and water in coastal areas of vegetable production in Togo.
TL;DR: The concentration of insecticide residues detected in the water samples was below the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and also by the European Union (EU), with the exception of the concentration of endosulphan sulphate at the Aného site, which was 0.116 μg L−1.

Decomposition and spatial microbial heterogeneity associated with native shrubs in soils of agroecosystems in semi-arid Senegal
TL;DR: It is concluded that shrub rhizospheres in Sahaliean agroecosystems are distinct components in controlling microbial community composition, promoting fungi, microbial diversity, and litter decomposition.
Crop Productivity and Nutrient Dynamics in a Shrub (Guiera senegalensis)–Based Farming System of the Sahel
Ekwe L. Dossa,Ibrahima Diedhiou,M. Khouma,M. Sene,A. Lufafa,Fred Kizito,S. A. N. Samba,Aminata N. Badiane,Siré Diédhiou,Richard P. Dick +9 more
TL;DR: Combining the ecological potential to restore degraded landscapes with the agronomic benefits demonstrated here, shows that optimized G. senegalensis–crop systems should be further investigated in farmers’ fields throughout the Sahel.
Crop Productivity and Nutrient Dynamics in a Shrub-Based Farming System of the Sahel
Ekwe L. Dossa,Ibrahima Diedhiou,M. Khouma,M. Sene,Aminata N. Badiane,S. A. N. Samba,Komi Assigbetse,Saidou Sall,Abel Lufafa,Fred Kizito,Richard P. Dick,Jyotisna Saxena +11 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that P. reticulatum, under nonthermal management and a higher density than typically found in farmers’ fields, has ecological benefits with improved soils and reduced loss of N, which has implications throughout the Sahel.
