-description:SeriesInformation;Local observers record water level and take photographs of the scale every 10 days during the wet season and about once a month during the dry season.  For turbidity, water sample are collected by local observer, every 10 days during the wet season and about once a month during the dry season, and sent by bus to Bamako for analyzing turbidity using a turbidimeter. A value of turbidity of 1001 stands for a value exceeding the sensor sensitivity.

Data will be used to validate hydrological modelling. The electrical conductivity of water is an integrative measure that allows documentation of the origin of waters (rainfall, surface and sub-surface runoff, watertable drainage).
-description:SeriesInformation;Automatic measurement of water level converted into flow and electrical conductivity at the outlet of a 1st order catchment along specific vegetation catena (fallow, forest, bush savannah). The catchment is constituted of hillslope and a bas-fond. For small stream, calibration of the stage-discharge relationships is made by stream-gaging surveys using a wading-rod (velocity-area method). A value = 9999 stands for a dry gully.

-description:Abstract;Long-term measurements (LOP) of river discharge and electrical conductivity of water on the sub-basins of the Upper Oueme. Allow to relate runoff fluctuation to rainfall variability.  The electrical conductivity of river water is an integrative measure that allows documentation of the origin of waters (rainfall, surface and sub-surface runoff, watertable drainage). Associated to the chemical characterization of water (CE.Wchem_O), these data give insight into process of runoff generation, allow to compute water balance components and constitute validation datasets for hydrological models.

-description:Abstract;Monitoring soil moisture dynamic in the Sahel. The aim is to characterize the spatial variability of the soil moisture, with particular attention to the meridional gradient in the Gourma mesoscale site as well as the vertical and temporal variability. This data set will improve our understanding of land surface processes, continental water budget and surface-atmosphere feedbacks. It will be used in modelling and assimilation activities, as well as for validation of satellite products.

Interspecific variability of root dynamics. Documentation of the soil characteristics (texture, characteristic curves, infiltration...).

These data will provide the basic parameters for the initialization of the surface-atmosphere exchange models. Links with atmospheric chemistry (soil emissions and deposits).

-description:Abstract;Quantification of seasonal dynamics of herbaceous vegetation and tree foliage on sites for which the long term dynamics is also monitored (see CL.VegHerb_G). The main objectives are to analyze the different processes that control primary production and degradation of vegetation and to test models (e.g, STEP).
-description:SeriesInformation;Aboveground herbaceous mass, vegetation cover fraction, LAI is monitored in sites located within the Hombori super-site and representatives of the 3 main components of the landscape: sand dunes (Agoufou, Hombori-Ondo, Tara and Timbadior), erosion surface seasonally inundated clay soils (Kelma) and millet (Bilantao). For mass estimation, the herbaceous layer is monitored using a stratified random technique. Measurements are performed at least every month during the rainy season, from June to mid-October and twice during the dry season. LAI is estimated using hemispherical photographs. For the Kelma forest, hemispherical photographs are also used to derive the Plant Area Index (PAI).

-description:Abstract;1) Characterize the vegetation of a representative Sahelian watershed and, especially of the flux stations's footprints, 2) Observations required to parameterize and validate Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT), hydrologic and vegetation models.
-description:SeriesInformation;Map of the state of the soil use (SU). On each unit of SU,  the Leaf Area Index (LAI) of the woody stand, and of the herbaceous strata in fallows and on millet in crop fields, biomass of grasses in fallows and of millet in crop fields, leaf area of millet, height of grasses in fallows and of millet in crop fields, and millet yield are measured each year.

-description:Abstract;Monitor the inter-annual dynamics of herbaceous productivity (maximum aboveground mass) in relation with climate and land use practice. A network of reading rain gauges (since 2005) are associated to the vegetation sites.
-description:SeriesInformation;Herbaceous vegetation aboveground mass are recorded in field sites, 1x1km in size. Vegetation variables are measured in 12 plots (1x1m) sampled under a random stratified method in each of the vegetation facies within site. These measures are done once a year at peak mass. In 2015, estimated masses should probably be corrected by about 15-20% due to late measurements.
