Evaluation of the Aerial Biomass of Three Sahelian Species in the Ferlo (North Senegal): <i>Acacia tortilis</i> (Forsk.) Hayn essp. Raddiana (Savi) Brenan, <i>Acacia senegal</i> (L.) Willd and <i>Balanites aegyptiaca</i> (L.) Del

In a context of climate change characterized by rising temperatures, increased greenhouse gases and frequent droughts, the Sahel is presented as one most vulnerable areas to adverse effects change. The objective this study assess above-ground biomass carbon stock three Sahelian species: Acacia raddiana tortilis (Forsk.) hayne ssp. (savi) Brenan, senegal (L.) Willd Balanites aegyptiaca (L.). was carried out in northern Senegal commonly known Ferlo. Biomasses populations target species were first assessed harvesting entire epigenetic part then modelled correlation using dendrometric parameters measured on each individual sample. Two models, mono-specific multi-species, used. results obtained showed that diameter at breast height (x) parameter best correlated epigeal (y). dry woody plants 31.4 ± 15.2 kg/tree for B. aegyptiaca, 30.6 13.2 A. 26.2 11.1 raddiana; i.e. equivalents 14.75 - 14.38 12.31 respectively. amount contained estimated 4.48 t/ha. equivalent, atmospheric CO2 16.44 tons CO2/ha based actual density Ferlo (108.08 49.79 ind/ha) sequestered area 1777.008 CO2. comparison between models developed multispecific or from literature substantial differences. This contributes better understanding contribution sequestration could be used framework adaptation
