Abstract: Interesting morphological traits in tree organs are essential for selecting the best plant germplasm. Variation in morphometric traits of leaf, fruit and seed of multipurpose tree Diospyros mespiliformis were studied in two climatic zones in Benin using 735 trees from 4 major habitats (provenances) in each climatic zone. Morphological trait measurements were combined with architectural param... PubDate: Sat, 30 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +010
Abstract: The integrity of forest stands in logging concessions depends on the logging method. Selective logging is the most commonly used method in the tropics, disturbing a considerable proportion of soil and canopy cover creating distinct sites for plant establishment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the silvicultural requirements in terms of light and moisture of seedlings of some comm... PubDate: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +010
Abstract: Ecotourism is a recently emerged concept described as an ecologically friendly, economically and socially viable form of tourism. Its aims are to conserve the environment and local culture, and to ensure the major beneficiary and participation of local communities.

Abstract: The northern part of the Southern rivers, which is the subject of this study, lies between 18 54 and 14 48 north latitude and 11 30 and 12 54 west longitude. It is characterized by a dense hydrographic network dominated by maritime marshes and expanses of salty lands and mangrove mudflats that have developed on a vast coastal plain. The objective of this study is to analyze spatio-temporal c... PubDate: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +010
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to define the structural characteristics and spatial distribution of endangered Garcinia kola in Cte dIvoire, in order to ensure sustainable management of the species. The study was conducted in two natural growth zones (Affery and Biankouma) of the species and involved 94 trees with a minimum diameter of 10 cm measured at 1.30 m from the ground. The data collect... PubDate: Fri, 31 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +010
Abstract: Attacks on humans by wild carnivores are a serious problem, especially where communities and carnivores share the same landscape. When people are injured or killed, community members commonly retaliate by killing the carnivores. Awareness of how to minimize the risk of attacks is important and dependent on an understanding of the circumstances surrounding previous attacks and communicating t...

Abstract: A survey was carried out in Mount Cameroon to document the distribution and diversity of the Orchidaceae which is the most abundant plant family worldwide and the second most abundant in this study area. The study area was divided into 5 different zones made up of 4 ecotypes in the wild and some cultivated gardens. The ecotypes in the wild were further divided into different macro-habitats b...

Abstract: Although studies emphasize that rural women are persistently being marginalized in forest governance in the Global South, some feminist scholars contend that women are still joining and engaging in forest management institutions. Drawing on the Typology of Participation model and the Gender Box framework, this article intends to widen our understanding of the levels and motivations of rural ...
