Abstract :
[en] In the Sahel region the pastorals resources are strongly linked to the fluctuation of the biomass production and as well as the breeding systems, which are based on the transhumance and the nomadism as well. In the present study, an integrated approach of multi-source, multi-type and multi-scales data analysis in the pastoral zone in Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger and Chad has been developed using PC-Arc/Info and Arc/View potentialities for the purpose of Sahelian rangeland production estimation.
