  abstract = {{P}arkland systems in the {S}udano-{S}ahelian zone of {W}est {A}frica are commonly perceived as a resilient agroforestry practice well adapted to the semi-arid climatic conditions of the region. {H}owever, there exist several knowledge gaps regarding the interplay between the different components of this agro-silvopastoral land use system. {A} literature review with subsequent meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of woody perennials on soil, crops and livestock, for which our study found very context-specific responses. {A} scoring of tree and shrub species indicated a general trend of trade-off between positive impact on crops and livestock vs. impact on soil organic carbon content. {T}he study further confirmed that {F}aidherbia albida ({D}el.) {C}hev. is one of the most promising parkland species, but also revealed that there are no multipurpose single species that should be promoted exclusively. {T}he focus should rather shift to species mixtures that satisfy multiple human and environmental needs. {T}he study also pointed out that information on the nutritional properties of the majority of browse species is particularly limited. {T}ransdisciplinary modelling is suggested as a tool to assess the complex interactions between the different components that shape this agro-silvopastoral system at different scales.},
