Savanna ecosystems in tropical West Africa undergo severe land use pressure, resulting in ecosystem degradation and biogenic carbon emissions. In such context, highlighting the key ecological attributes of land degradation and the underlying processes are essential within the national adaptation and mitigation plans. This study analyzed the impacts of land use on plant biodiversity, stand structure and carbon storage. Inventories of ligneous species were conducted on 240 plots laid out along four levels of land disturbance in Burkina Faso. Dendrometric data collected from 6035 shrubs and trees were converted to aboveground biomass and carbon density. The results revealed a γ–diversity of 107 woody species belonging to 73 genera and 35 families. Significant effect of land use was found on species diversity, stand structure and carbon density (p |
