Synsepalum dulcificum (Schumach. & Thonn. Daniell) est un arbuste originaire de l’Afrique l’Ouest, inscrit sur la liste des espèces vulnérables l’UICN. Au Bénin, son importance pour les popu- lations locales reste peu documentée. L’étude avait objectif d’évaluer connaissances endogènes, valeur d’usage et l’importance économique l’espèce populations locales. Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques éco- nomiques ont été conduites auprès 606 personnes réparties dans 13 groupes socioculturels du...
Abstract Salinity is a major driver of emergence and early growth mangrove propagules. The magnitude salinity effects may vary across ecotypes. Using randomised complete block design in semi‐controlled experiment, this study assessed the effect (low: 3–5, moderate: 15–17 high: 34–36 Practical Unit) on Rhizophora racemosa (G.) Meyer Avicennia germinans (L.) L., two common species West Africa. Per cent emergence, total height number leaves were recorded daily for 30 days. Data analysed using...
Mangroves are brackish wetland ecosystems found in tropical areas. They highly productive that contribute to the economic empowerment of local communities. Proper estimation their monetary value and extent contribution rural households’ income, although challenging, is paramount for sustainable management decisions. This study aimed estimate total wealth earned from mangrove Benin. Specifically, assessed diversity ecosystem services (ESs) provided by mangroves ESs annual mangroves, it...
Abstract Mangroves are coastal wetland ecosystems of tropical and subtropical regions. Their development trajectories mainly driven by water substrate salinities. Therefore, understanding how main mangrove species respond to salinity gradient when transplanted in natural environment is essential for their restoration. This study assessed the survival, growth, productivity Rhizophora racemosa seedlings response salinity. Seedlings were grown nursery under low (3-5 psu) medium (15-17...
