A dynamic land use/land cover input helps in picturing the Sahelian paradox: Assessing variability and attribution of changes in surface runoff in a Sahelian watershed
In Sahelian landscapes, land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics and climate variability are
already known to affect the water cycle. In its current practice however, hydrological …
