- Abstract
Ecosystem management can mitigate vegetation shifts induced by climate change in West Africa. Land management interventions must be identified that can reverse the decline of ES and work toward the achievement of the SDGs in the face of climate change and other global change processes such as population growth and biodiversity decline. The projected doubling of the African human population by 2050 and the climate change-induced increased frequency of extreme droughts underline the urgent need for science-informed assessments as a prerequisite for identifying sustainable land management options (IPCC, 2019; Sikora et al., 2020). Information is needed on how these Ecosystem Services (ES) can be enhanced through sustainable land management interventions and enabling policies (Rötter et al., 2005; Sikora, Terry, Vlek, & Chitjja, 2020).
