Evaluates changes in vegetation cover in semi-arid Niger, suggesting effective management of grazing ecosystems.

The research aims to assess the structure and dynamics of plant cover in the Sahelian rangeland of Niger.
Conducted dendrometric and phytosociological surveys on 2,500 m2 plots.
Identified 16 plant species, including woody and herbaceous types.
Analyzed diameter class distributions and canopy heights.
Utilized NDVI MODIS to assess vegetation cover variability.
Identified dominant species as Poaceae and Fabaceae families.
Diameter class analysis showed 50% of woody plants were 20-35 cm in size.
The majority of trees fell within the 4-6 m height range (47.69%).
Therophytes made up 56.03% of identified biological types.
