Summary
A diachronic analysis reveals significant transformations in the natural environments of Comoé National Park, Côte d’Ivoire, driven by morphopedological landscapes. The study highlights how these dynamic landforms—shaped by geological and pedological processes—have evolved over time, influencing biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Researchers employed a multi-temporal approach, integrating remote sensing data with field observations to map landscape changes across decades. This method uncovered critical patterns of environmental degradation and regeneration, offering insights into the park’s ecological adaptability. The findings underscore the importance of long-term monitoring in conservation strategies for UNESCO World Heritage Sites facing anthropogenic and climatic pressures.
