Publication review
Rainfall variability and inherent dry spells are a reality with severe implications for smallholder agro-ecosystems in semi-arid Sahel.

To increase both on- and off-farm biomass production and productivity is challenging with these climate-induced temporal and spatial variations of water.

This paper tests the idea that increased vegetation through tree cover may impact water balance in a water-stressed landscape: South-east Niger.
