    Le SĂ©nĂ©gal, Ă  l’instar des autres pays sahĂ©liens, est confrontĂ© Ă  la dĂ©gradation de ses espaces forestiers due Ă  un ensemble de facteurs tels que : les dĂ©frichements agricoles, les feux tardifs, l’exploitation anarchique, etc. Ce phĂ©nomĂšne est plus accentuĂ© dans la rĂ©gion de Diourbel oĂč l’un des trĂšs rares poumons verts se trouve dans le site du Centre National de Recherches Agronomiques de Bambey (CNRA). Cette Ă©tude avait comme objectifs de caractĂ©riser et d’estimer le potentiel des ligneux dans cette formation forestiĂšre dans le but de donner formuler des recommandations. Un inventaire systĂ©matique sur 103 placettes de 50 X 50 m a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© en 2018. Les paramĂštres recherchĂ©s ont Ă©tĂ© : la richesse spĂ©cifique, la densitĂ© du peuplement, la surface terriĂšre, le volume de bois, le couvert aĂ©rien, la rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration, la structure horizontale et verticale, les observations sur l’émondage, le vieillissement, etc. Ainsi, 28 espĂšces appartenants Ă  13 familles ont Ă©tĂ© recensĂ©es. Les familles des Mimosaceae (28,57%) et des Combretaceae (17,86%) dominent la vĂ©gĂ©tation. Pour les individus adultes, la densitĂ© est de 98 individus/ha, dominĂ©e par Acacia seyal, tandis que la rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration s’élĂšve Ă  581 plantules/ha, dominĂ©e par Combretum aculeatum. La surface terriĂšre du peuplement est estimĂ©e Ă  2,12 m2/ha, le couvert aĂ©rien (3223,08 m2/ha) et le volume (13,83 m3/ha). La distribution du peuplement par classe de diamĂštre et de hauteur rĂ©vĂšle la prĂ©dominance de la strate arbustive. Les observations ont montrĂ© la prĂ©sence de pratiques anthropiques qui pourraient contribuer Ă  la rĂ©gression de la dynamique du peuplement par la diminution du couvert vĂ©gĂ©tal et la disparition de certaines espĂšces (Deterium microcarpum, Pterocarpus erinaceus et Sterculia setigera) constatĂ©e dans cette formation.  Ces rĂ©sultats montrent l’urgence de mettre en place une stratĂ©gie de gestion en Ă©troite collaboration avec les communautĂ©s pour la conservation et la restauration du couvert vĂ©gĂ©tale de cette formation boisĂ©e de 149 ha.   Senegal, like other Sahelian countries, is faced with the degradation of its forest areas due to a combination of factors such as agricultural clearing, late fires, uncontrolled logging, etc. This phenomenon is more pronounced in the Diourbel region, where one of the very few green lungs is located on the site of the Centre National de Recherches Agronomiques Bambey (CNRA). This phenomenon is more pronounced in the Diourbel region, where one of the very few green lungs can be found on the site of the “Centre National de Recherches Agronomiques de Bambey” (CNRA). The objectives of this study were to characterize and estimate the potential of woody species in this forest formation, to formulate recommendations. A systematic inventory of 103 50 x 50 m plots was carried out in 2018. The parameters investigated were: species richness, stand density, basal area, wood volume, aerial cover, regeneration, horizontal and vertical structure, observations on pruning, aging, etc. A total of 28 species belonging to 13 families were inventoried. Among these families, Mimosaceae (28,57%) and Combretaceae (17,86%) dominate the vegetation. The density of adult trees is 98 individuals/ha, dominated by Acacia seyal, while regeneration amounts to 581 seedlings/ha, dominated by Combretum aculeatum. The basal area of the stand is estimated at 2.12 m2/ha, the aerial cover (3223.08 m2/ha), and the volume (13.83 m3/ha). The distribution of the stand-by diameter and height class reveals the predominance of the shrub layer. Observations revealed the presence of human practices that could be contributing to the decline in stand dynamics through the reduction in plant cover and the disappearance of certain species (Deterium microcarpum, Pterocarpus erinaceus, and Sterculia setigera) observed in this formation. These results show the urgent need to implement a management strategy in close collaboration with the communities to conserve and restore the plant cover of this 149 ha woodland formation

Cette Ă©tude a permis de recenser la flore du Bois, d’évaluer le potentiel ligneux et de remarquer l’anthropisation, d’oĂč la nĂ©cessitĂ© de mettre en place une stratĂ©gie de gestion pour la conservation et la restauration du couvert vĂ©gĂ©tale.   Senegal, like other Sahelian countries, is faced forest degradation due to a combination of factors such as: agricultural clearings, late fires, uncontrolled logging, etc. Inventory work has been carried out in the woodland formation (Bois de Boulogne) of the Centre National de Recherches Agronomiques de Bambey. The aim of the study was to assess the woody potential of the Bois, which is under heavy human pressure, with a view to making recommendations. A systematic inventory on 103 plots of 50 X 50 m is carried out in 2018. The parameters sought are: species richness, density, basal area, volume, aerial cover, regeneration, horizontal and vertical structure, observations on pruning, ageing, etc. A total of 28 species from 13 families were recorded. Mimosaceae and Combretaceae dominate the vegetation. Adult density is 98 individuals/ha, dominated by Acacia seyal, while regeneration is 581 seedlings/ha, dominated by Combretum aculeatum. Stand basal area is estimated at 2.12 m2/ha, aerial cover (3223.08 m2/ha) and volume (13.83 m3/ha). Stand distribution by diameter and height class reveals the predominance of the shrub layer. Observations revealed the presence of anthropogenic practices. This study enabled us to survey the flora of the wood, assess its woody potential and note its anthropization, hence the need to implement a management strategy for the conservation and restoration of the plant cover

    L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier lÂŽeffet du greffage et de l’inoculation mycorhizienne sur la croissance du baobab dans les rĂ©gions de Kolda et de SĂ©dhiou. Pour ce faire, un dispositif experimental en bloc alĂ©atoire complet constituĂ© de quatre traitements sur des plants de baobab (greffĂ© inoculĂ©, greffĂ© non inoculĂ©, non greffĂ© inoculĂ© et non greffĂ© non inoculĂ©) a Ă©tĂ© mis en place dans huit (8) sites. Le greffage a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ© avec la mĂ©thode de fente terminale et l’inoculation avec un mĂ©lange de souches de champignons mycorhriziens arbusculaires (Glomus aggretatum, G. intraradices et G. Fasciculatum) en pĂ©piniĂšre. Deux ans aprĂšs plantation, les traitements ont montrĂ© que les plus gros diamĂštres et le plus grand nombre de rameaux sont obtenus avec les plants greffĂ©s (inoculĂ©s et non inoculĂ©s) alors que les hauteurs les plus Ă©levĂ©es avec ceux non inoculĂ©s (non greffĂ©s et greffĂ©s). Le nombre de feuilles le plus imporatant est observĂ© sur les plants non greffĂ©s non inoculĂ©s. Par ailleurs, des diffĂ©rences significatives entre les sites ont ausssi Ă©tĂ© constatĂ©es. Tel est le cas pour les taux de coissance selon les lequels pour la plupart des sites les plants non greffĂ©es inoculĂ©s donnent les meilleurs rĂ©sultats en hauteur et en diamĂ©tre. L’inoculation n’a pas eu d’effet significatif. Les rĂ©sultats de cette Ă©tude contribueront Ă  une meilleure maĂźtrise des techniques de raccourcissement du cycle de production du baobab, par consĂ©quent, au dĂ©veloppement de politiques de rajeunissement des parcs Ă  baobab au SĂ©nĂ©gal pour mieux rĂ©pondre Ă  la demande du marchĂ© national et international de plus en plus croissant. The aim of this work is to study the effect of grafting and mycorrhizal inoculation on recovery, survival and success rates and on certain baobab growth variables in the Kolda and Sedhiou regions. To do this, a complete randomized experimental block consisting of four treatments on baobab plants (grafted inoculated, grafted uninoculated, ungrafted inoculated and ungrafted uninoculated grafted) was placed in eight (8) sites. Grafting was performed using the terminal slit method and inoculation with a mixture of archaeal mycorrhizal fungi strains (Glomus aggretatum, G. intraradices and G. Fasciculatum) in the nursery. Two years after planting, the largest diameters and the largest number of branches are obtained with the grafted plants (inoculated and uninoculated) whereas the highest heights with those not inoculated (ungrafted and grafted). On the other hand, the number of leaves did not give any significant difference. Moreover, there are significant differences between the sites related inter alia to their mode of management. This is the case of the growth rates, which ungrafted inoculated plants have the more important diameter and height in most of the sites. There is no significant effect‘s inoculation. The results of this study will contribute to a better control of the techniques of shortening the cycle of production of baobab by horticultural grafting and, consequently, to the development of rejuvenation policies of baobab parks in Senegal to better meet the demand of the national market and more and more international

    Senegalia Senegal response to inoculation with rhizobial strains vary in relation to seed provenance and soil type

    Get PDF
    Aims: The focus of the study was to determine the symbiotic and growth response of three Senegalia Senegal (Syn. Acacia Senegal, gum arabic tree) provenances, namely Dahra (Senegal), Tera (Niger) and Makueni (Kenya) to inoculation with selected S. Senegal-nodulating rhizobia in soils from Dahra and Goudiry regions of Senegal, representing typical soil and enviromental conditions for establishing gum arabic production plantations. Methods: A greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of 11 rhizobial strains on nodulation and growth of three S. Senegal provenances in two field soils, differing in nutrient status and indigenous rhizobia. After 4 months, plants were harvested for determination of nodulation, shoot and root dryweight. Results: Nodulation and growth of S. Senegal varied in relation to rhizobial strain, provenance, soil type, and their interactions. Generally, nodulation was higher in Dahra than Goudiry soils, while Makueni provenance was the most compatible host. Inoculation had a significant effect on all parameters measured in Dahra field soil. By contrast, inoculation had a significant effect on height (shoot length), and shoot, root and total dry matter but not on nodulation. In the two field soils, seed provenance effect was significant for all parameters measured. The interaction between inoculation and provenance showed a significant effect on all parameters measured except nodule number in Dahra field soil while in Goudiry, the interaction had a significant effect on seedling height and shoot, root, and total dry matter but this effect was not significant with nodulation parameters. Conclusions: S. Senegal is variable in its response to inoculation, it is therefore advantageous to select and match effective rhizobia-provenance symbionts for each site
