• Drought tolerant species dominate as rainfall and tree cover returns in the West African Sahel2016, Land Use PolicyCitation Excerpt :Increasing rainfall has been put forward as the major driver behind the observed vegetation changes, based on regional scale analyses (Brandt et al., 2015; Capecchi et al., 2008; Dardel et al., 2014; Herrmann et al., 2005; Hickler et al., 2005; Seaquist et al., 2009). In addition to the regional studies of NDVI, field based local studies conducted at various sites across the Sahel report increases in crop yields and/or tree density over the past 30 years (Haglund et al., 2011; Larwanou and Saadou, 2011; Sendzimir et al., 2011; Mortimore and Turner, 2005; Reij et al., 2005). These studies often cite land management (adoption of soil and water conservation practices and/or techniques for managing and pruning of trees) as likely factors contributing to that change.Show abstract
