Burkina Faso
Parkia biglobosa (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae) is one of the most important and widespread trees in

agroforestry systems from Senegal to Uganda. The National Tree Seed Center (CNSF) of Burkina

Faso has developed a breeding and improvement program for this multipurpose tree. To better

conserve and promote the best reproductive materials for domestication, it is important to

understand how farmers perceive and manage the species in their fields. Farmers appear to have

Burkina Faso
Parkia biglobosa is ranked as one of the most important agroforestry multipurpose tree species in Sahelo-Sudanian zone. The National Tree Seed Center (CNSF) of Burkina Faso has been involved in a breeding programme of this species for many years and has already conducted several research activities (eg. germplasm collection, provenance trials establishment, selection of the best promising trees for propagation). To better conserve and guide the breeding program, it is important to understand how farmers perceive and manage the species in their fields.

Springs are the major source of freshwater in many small mountainous watersheds within the Himalayan region. In recent years, their flow rates have diminished, but the reasons for this are not self-evident, and hence this paper reviews the methods to investigate Himalayan springs. The review reveals that chemical and isotope analyses – mostly water dating and stable isotope (e.g., d18O) analyses – could be an appropriate entry point to commence field investigations, because of their potential to map complex spring pathways, including linkages between aquifers.
