Book excerpt: This research focuses on farmers' knowledge and management of soil fertility and vegetation in Butyrospermum parkii and Cordyla pinnata dominated parklands in the Sudano-Sahelian region of Mali. I investigate local soil and tree knowledge, as well as the types of household decision-making and agriculture that farmers of MalinkE ethnicity practice in local parklands. I conceptualize farmers' environmental knowledge, natural resource decision-making, and agriculture as interlinked social-ecological practices that are variable and adjustable responses to environmental and socioeconomic contingencies.
