  abstract = {{S}igns of climate change in {W}est {A}frica over the last few decades are among the significant observed in the tropics, in particular the decrease in mean annual precipitation. {A}lthough such change has brought about new eco-climatic constraints on vegetation forms, it has not proven easy to determine interannual and intra-seasonal variations on a regional scale for major vegetation forms, whether natural or highly artificial as a result of human activities. {T}he present study analyzes vegetation activity via a {N}ormalized {D}ifference {V}egetation {I}ndex ({NDVI}) defined from ten-day {SPOT}-{VGT} data (one-km resolution, covering the period from 2002 to 2012) in the {A}frican {M}onsoon {M}ultidisciplinary {A}nalysis ({AMMA}) {P}rogram observation zone, located in the {U}pper {O}ueme {R}iver {B}asin in {B}enin. {T}he statistical analysis is mainly based on a multifactor approach allowing approximately 54% of interannual {NDVI} variations to be accounted for. {R}esults show that spatio-temporal {NDVI} variability in the {R}iver {B}asin is highly dependent on land use, be it forest, wooded savanna, farmland or areas undergoing conversion.},
