Floristic diversity in a unique ecosystem of Burkina Faso: The case of the Ko...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this study is to provide a better knowledge of the flora of a classified forest relic and its capacity to preserve biodiversity. A forest inventory on 28 plots for woody species and 11 plots for herbaceous species was carried out in the Kou Classified Forest (KCF). The results show that the flora of the KCF is rich in 207 species belonging to 62 families and 165 genera. It includes 121 woody species and 85 herbaceous species. The most represented family is the Fabaceae 38 taxa. The diversity indices show that the woody and herbaceous flora is diverse, with respectively 13.61 and 7.85 for Margalef’s absolute species richness, 3.36 and 3.80 for Shannon-Weaver’s diversity index (H’), 0.93 and 0.97 for Simpson’s dominance (D’); 0.74 and 0.92 for Piélou’s equitability index (E). A total of 36 special-status species and 87.86% rare species (rarity index >80%) were recorded. Structural parameters such as basal area (15.73 ± 2.86 m2/ha), density (456 ± 51 ft/ha), average herbaceous cover (22% ± 4%) and Weibull’s form factor (C=0.7) show good ecological health and stability of the vegetation with a high regeneration potential of 1280 seedlings/ha and a regeneration rate of 236.37%. This ecosystem is of major importance in the conservation of phytodiversity in Burkina Faso.

6. Risk: Methane Cloud Over Four Corners
Oct. 9, 2014: One small “hot spot” in the U.S. Southwest is responsible for
producing the largest concentration of the greenhouse gas methane seen over the
US – according to new study of satellite data by scientists at NASA and U of
Michigan.
"The results are indicative that emissions from established fossil fuel harvesting
techniques are greater than inventoried," Kort said. "There's been so much
attention on high-volume hydraulic fracturing, but we need to consider the industry
as a whole."
