The aim here is to measure net soil flux in south-west Niger using Cs 137 and to relate it to surface features and transitions in the structure of the brousse tigrée in an attempt to validate the model and quantify the rate of upslope band migration.

and the underlying soil chemical properties; that bare areas have a relatively larger soluble salt concentration compared to the vegetated areas. A model that explains this distribution, and incorporates vegetation, microtopographic and infiltration differences
