Pterocarpus erinaceus is a native tree species of the Guineo-Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian zones where natural stands are under constant pressure heavily exploited for timber, animal feeding others uses. A part from overexploitation, climate change could also become serious threat to distribution. For that purposes, this study aims assess vulnerability P. potential niche within its distribution area in West Africa. Niche predictions based on 6,981 occurrence 19 global bioclimatic variables...
Bien que plusieurs fruitiers sauvages aient été étudiés au Bénin, d’autres, dont Cola millenii K. Schum., y demeurent peu documentés. Cette étude avait pour objectif d’inventorier les connaissances ethnobotaniques de C. par groupes socioculturels béninois. Des entretiens individuels structurés ont menés auprès 1 009 personnes. La fréquence relative citation et l’indice d’efficacité utilisés apprécier respectivement l’importance chaque utilisation le niveau la plante dans traitement d’une...
Detarium senegalense is a priority fruit species exploited but little known and under-valued in West African countries.The purpose of this study on the bibliographic synthesis to take stock various works aspects addressed order highlight lines research that are still new for better enhancement species.The methodology used consisted doing net using some search engines such as google, google scholar, AGORA links by introducing more authentic keywords.Documents, articles, books, theses...
The structural characterization of Prosopis africana Benin was studied on the basis forest inventory conducted in three different vegetation types (savannah, fallow, and field) climate zones. data collected 139 plots 1000 m 2 each related to diameter at breast (1.3 above ground), total height, identification, measurement DBH P. species height. Tree-ring parameters such as Blackman Green indices, basal area, average diameter, height Lorey, density were calculated interpreted. Dendrometric...

This study improved the knowledge people about uses P. organs connected to sociolinguistic diversity Benin, intending enhance pathways conservation sustainable management species. A total 506 respondents nine big groups were interviewed using survey questionnaire. To show organs/parts used well categories uses, principal component...
The morphological variability of Prosopis africana in its natural range (which includes three climate zones: Guinean zone, Sudano-Guinean zone and Sudanese zone) Benin was studied on the basis forest inventory carried out different vegetation types (savannah, fallow field). data recorded 139 plots 1000 m2 each related to diameter at breast height (1.3 m over ground level), bole height, first branch, crown diameter, number branches individual tree. In these plots, 143 sheets were used...
Background: Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth. is a wild species whose organs have been used in multiple ways. Despite these uses, there very little scientific data relating to the use within different socio-cultural groups of Benin. To fill this information gap which could hinder sustainable conservation efforts for benefit users, ethnobotanical study was carried out Methods: Its objective assess knowledge among major groups. The aim determine levels and identify types Focus semi-structured...
