  abstract = {{P}lants contribute to mitigate global warming by capturing {CO}2 from the atmosphere to produce biomass. {T}his study aims to quantify the carbon stock sequestered in woody biomass of managed ecosystems in the semi-arid part of {B}urkina {F}aso ({W}est {A}frica), and assess the economic value of additional carbon sequestered. {S}tudy sites include one managed forest and three agricultural lands restored from degraded soil. {F}orest and landscape restoration activities have been implemented over several decades and include za{\¨ie}, stone barriers, natural regeneration and tree planting. {W}oody plant biomass is estimated using allometric equations which have been adapted to the case study site species and ecological conditions. {T}he managed forest of the case study has an estimated 19.3-40.8 t/ha of woody biomass after 45 years. {T}his corresponds to 0.7-1.5 tonne of {CO}2 per hectare per year stored on average, i.e. a value of $575-7,243 per hectare per year at current carbon prices. {P}ayments to land users for carbon storage services may help provide alternative livelihoods and incentives for reforestation effort.},
