hidden">Historical analysis of botanical literature concerning the trees Gilletiodendron glandulosum and Guibourtia copallifera in Mali’s Manding Plateau reveals that the dominant representation of these plants has helped to perpetuate colonial-era theories of vegetation history, African land management, and natural resource politics in West Africa. The French botanist Aubréville described these plants as proof of the theory of vegetation history that blamed poor land management by rural Africans for a steady and continuing destruction of vegetation from its presumed original forest climax. Although Aubréville’s representation of these trees was justified within the 1930s scientific context he worked, subsequent researchers uncritically maintained his conclusions even though the changed scientific context in which they worked did not justify such representation. Subsequent ecological research also failed to substantiate Aubréville’s representation of these trees, yet several influential modern botanical works have uncritically accepted colonial-era botanical literature founded on his ideas. Thus, modern botanical works have perpetuated a simplistic and inaccurate narrative of resource use under an appearance of objectivity. As a result, policy recommendations based on the modern botanical sources remain almost identical to colonial-era policies. Based on the similarity of colonial-era and modern portrayals of these trees, this paper argues that a regional discursive formation recently described by other authors may be expanded to include southern Mali, which carries negative implications for decentralization reform in Mali.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/5482169" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="5410c77844a349585abff1cbd505e2c8" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":39426769,"asset_id":5482169,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/39426769/download_file?st=MTczMjc5NDYwMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="7709225" href="https://unm.academia.edu/ChrisDuvall">Chris Duvall</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="7709225" type="text/json">{"id":7709225,"first_name":"Chris","last_name":"Duvall","domain_name":"unm","page_name":"ChrisDuvall","display_name":"Chris Duvall","profile_url":"https://unm.academia.edu/ChrisDuvall?f_ri=14444","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_5482169 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="5482169"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 5482169, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_5482169", });

Although Aubréville’s representation of these trees was justified within the 1930s scientific context he worked, subsequent researchers uncritically maintained his conclusions even though the changed scientific context in which they worked did not justify such representation. Subsequent ecological research also failed to substantiate Aubréville’s representation of these trees, yet several influential modern botanical works have uncritically accepted colonial-era botanical literature founded on his ideas. Thus, modern botanical works have perpetuated a simplistic and inaccurate narrative of resource use under an appearance of objectivity. As a result, policy recommendations based on the modern botanical sources remain almost identical to colonial-era policies. Based on the similarity of colonial-era and modern portrayals of these trees, this paper argues that a regional discursive formation recently described by other authors may be expanded to include southern Mali, which carries negative implications for decentralization reform in Mali.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":39426769,"asset_id":5482169,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":7709225,"first_name":"Chris","last_name":"Duvall","domain_name":"unm","page_name":"ChrisDuvall","display_name":"Chris

Um total de 250 mudas com até cinco cm de altura, foram manejadas com o auxílio de uma foice, sob a copa de uma planta adulta situada na localidade Quixaba/Caicó/RN. O transporte aconteceu dentro de sacolas plásticas até o Centro de Produção de Mudas Xique-xique (CPMX), unidade de produção de mudas do município de São José do Seridó/RN. Todas foram transplantadas para embalagens plásticas de um quilograma.

les stratégies d'adaptation en milieu fragile (désert, steppe) au travers des « desert kites », de grandes constructions faites d’alignements de pierres convergeant vers un enclos (fig. 1). Longtemps considérés comme des pièges de chasse, les kites pourraient aussi avoir servi à la domestication animale. Dans un contexte archéologique large, où les kites semblent avoir été utilisés du Néolithique aux époques subactuelles, nous proposons une approche interdisciplinaire à la croisée de l’anthropologie (archéologie et ethnologie), de la géomatique et des sciences géoarchéologiques et bioarchéologiques. <br />Le projet couvre un domaine géographique important, qui s’étend du Caucase et de l’Asie Centrale au sud de la péninsule Arabique (Échallier & Braemer, 1995). Un premier inventaire bibliographique et des observations préliminaires d’images satellitaires ont révélé l’existence de plus de 1300 structures, dont 61 % connues et 39 % inédites (fig. 2). Ces découvertes récentes soulignent le potentiel tout à fait exceptionnel du projet : l'étude des kites à travers le temps et l'espace permettra de définir les stratégies d'exploitation des ressources animales en milieux bio-climatiques à fortes contraintes et d'analyser leurs conséquences, directes ou indirectes, sur le milieu.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/3801251" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="372b8cb86c238e8ac579bca338f6a871" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":31458472,"asset_id":3801251,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31458472/download_file?st=MTczMjc5NDYwNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="857363" href="https://univ-lyon2.academia.edu/RemyCrassard">Remy Crassard</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="857363" type="text/json">{"id":857363,"first_name":"Remy","last_name":"Crassard","domain_name":"univ-lyon2","page_name":"RemyCrassard","display_name":"Remy Crassard","profile_url":"https://univ-lyon2.academia.edu/RemyCrassard?f_ri=14444","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/857363/305752/10772168/s65_remy.crassard.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_3801251 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="3801251"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 3801251, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_3801251", });

The Soviet modernization project failed at <br />connecting the region to the grid, and imported coal for heating and fuel for producing electric <br />energy at high costs over long distances. After the collapse of this alimentation system, people <br />have substituted energy demands with wood and shrubs, and used increasingly available lowcost <br />Chinese solar equipment to produce electrical energy. International development actors <br />have failed to increase acceptance for energy efficiency technologies. Despite the Pamirs’ <br />high potential for solar and wind energy and decreasing installation costs, Soviet-style state <br />planning of energy infrastructure still favours big hydropower stations, despite their high <br />(social) costs and the limited potential on the Pamir plateau.

Agriculture is a vital sector, contributing on average 14% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (excluding oil producing countries) and providing jobs and incomes for 38% of the region's economically active population. Nevertheless, most NENA countries import at least 50% of the calories they consume. Furthermore, it is estimated that the total area that is desertified or is vulnerable to desertification cover 9.84 million km 2 or about 86.7% of the total NENA region. Soil erosion by water, wind, and sand and dust storms (SDS) cause losses of about USD 13 billion of GDP each year. To confront these hardships, the region must endorse proper land use planning, prioritization of target areas for restoration and adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) to reverse the situation. This paper analyses the inter-linkages between LDD, resource base management and food security under different scenarios and offers mitigation and remediation options. These include knowledge management and sharing; establishment of a regional platform to facilitate dialogue; public and private investment opportunities; provision of tools to scale-out sustainable land and water management options; and creation of a conducive enabling environment supported by policies and strategies. The paper provides policy and decision-makers with priority actions and options to enhance productivity, and combat land degradation to improve food security in the region.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/67859741" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="574a003bff79a3cbeda6002f176f5516" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":78547258,"asset_id":67859741,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78547258/download_file?st=MTczMjc5NDYwNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="50706573" href="https://independent.academia.edu/FerasZiadat">Feras Ziadat</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="50706573" type="text/json">{"id":50706573,"first_name":"Feras","last_name":"Ziadat","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"FerasZiadat","display_name":"Feras Ziadat","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/FerasZiadat?f_ri=14444","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/50706573/71320143/59762245/s65_feras.ziadat.png"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-67859741">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-67859741"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://iamb.academia.edu/PandiZdruli">Pandi Zdruli</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-67859741'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-67859741').html();

Agriculture is a vital sector, contributing on average 14% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (excluding oil producing countries) and providing jobs and incomes for 38% of the region's economically active population. Nevertheless, most NENA countries import at least 50% of the calories they consume. Furthermore, it is estimated that the total area that is desertified or is vulnerable to desertification cover 9.84 million km 2 or about 86.7% of the total NENA region. Soil erosion by water, wind, and sand and dust storms (SDS) cause losses of about USD 13 billion of GDP each year. To confront these hardships, the region must endorse proper land use planning, prioritization of target areas for restoration and adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) to reverse the situation. This paper analyses the inter-linkages between LDD, resource base management and food security under different scenarios and offers mitigation and remediation options. These include knowledge management and sharing; establishment of a regional platform to facilitate dialogue; public and private investment opportunities; provision of tools to scale-out sustainable land and water management options; and creation of a conducive enabling environment supported by policies and strategies. The paper provides policy and decision-makers with priority actions and options to enhance productivity, and combat land degradation to improve food security in the region.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":78547258,"asset_id":67859741,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":50706573,"first_name":"Feras","last_name":"Ziadat","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"FerasZiadat","display_name":"Feras
