      International audience ; Understanding greenhouse gas fluxes in semi-arid ecosystems is critical for improving our understanding ofbiogeochemical cycles, particularly in underrepresented regions like the African Sahel. In these landscapes,greenhouse gas exchange arises from ground, trees, and water ponds, and is further shaped by environmentalconditions and grazing. The carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide fluxes were quantified from thesecomponents in a Sahelian savanna in Senegal, while also assessing grazing impacts and environmental drivers(soil water content, temperature, vapor pressure deficit, photosynthetically active radiation). The ground was anet carbon dioxide sink during the rainy season but shifted toward neutrality or weak emission in the dry season,consistently acted as a methane sink, and was a year-round nitrous oxide source. Seasonal ponds were strongmethane and nitrous oxide emission hotspots, with methane emissions being high enough to offset the sink of theoverall savanna landscape. Trees contributed to carbon dioxide and methane uptake via branches, whereas stemswere net methane and carbon dioxide emitters. Both stems and branches emitted nitrous oxide, and the presenceof trees enhanced carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide fluxes from soils beneath their canopies. Grazingenhanced ground gross primary production, reduced methane uptake, while no effect was seen on nitrous oxidefluxes. Temporal variability of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide fluxes was strongly linked to soil water contentand temperature, whereas methane fluxes showed no correlations with any of the measured drivers. These resultsdemonstrate that tree- and pond-mediated fluxes, together with grazing, substantially alter the greenhouse gasfluxes of savanna ecosystems and incorporating these effects is essential for accurately representing semi-aridsavannas in global greenhouse gas budgets.
