Dominant species' resprout biomass dynamics after cutting in the Sudanian savanna-woodlands of West Africa: long term effects of annual early fire and grazing

Abstract

Moderate livestock grazing could be integrated in the forest management prescriptions in Burkina Faso for the sake of multi-purpose uses, while more attention should be paid to burning practices to lower fire severity, as complete fire exclusion is utopian in this savanna ecosystem.
