Demographic structure and natural regeneration of natural stands of Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. (Fabaceae) in the savannah regions of Côte d’Ivoire ; Estructura demográfica y regeneración natural de las masas naturales de Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir.

Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. (Fabaceae) grows in Africa’s sparse woodlands and tree savannahs and is a valued species for its wood, fodder and causes of its overexploitation in Côte d’Ivoire. This study analyses the demographic structure of natural stands of this species and potential for its natural regeneration according to logging intensity in the three types of savannah (Guinean, sub-Sudanian and Sudanian) in Côte d’Ivoire, with a view to their conservation. Dendrometric measurements (diameter at 1.30 m in height, total height and bole height) were made in 30 transects 200 m in width of ind... Mehr ...
