ConsidĂ©ration des caractĂ©ristiques structurales comme indicateurs Ă©cologiques dâamĂ©nagement forestier au Togo (Afrique de lâOuest)
Les Ăźlots de forĂȘts semi-dĂ©cidues de la rĂ©serve de faune de Togodo constituent lâun des rares Ă©cosystĂšmes forestiers dans le paysage dĂ©nudĂ© et fortement anthropisĂ© de la plaine cĂŽtiĂšre du Sud Togo. Lâanalyse structurale de ces Ăźlots forestiers a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e au travers dâinventaires forestiers conduits dans 45 placettes. Dans chaque placette (625 mÂČ de superficie), chaque individu ligneux (souche autonome dont le dbh â„ 10 cm) a fait lâobjet dâune dĂ©termination botanique et de mesure de ses caractĂ©ristiques dendromĂ©triques. Les donnĂ©es recueillies ont permis dâĂ©tablir un diagnostic sur lâĂ©tat de conservation des espĂšces vĂ©gĂ©tales de cette aire protĂ©gĂ©e. Au total, 73 espĂšces ligneuses ont Ă©tĂ© recensĂ©es avec une densitĂ© moyenne Ă©valuĂ©e Ă 955 ± 303,1 N/ha et la surface terriĂšre Ă©gale Ă 38,9 ± 18,9 mÂČ/ha. La densitĂ© moyenne de la rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration a Ă©tĂ© estimĂ©e Ă 6465 N/ha. La rĂ©partition des espĂšces par mode de rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©ration montre que lâessentiel des espĂšces se rĂ©gĂ©nĂšre prĂ©fĂ©rentiellement par semis (84,1 %), faiblement par rejets de souches (12,4 %) et rarement par drageonnage (3,5 %). La courbe exponentielle dĂ©croissante que rĂ©vĂšle la distribution des individus en classes de diamĂštre indique que ces formations forestiĂšres ont subi une ou plusieurs dĂ©gradations et sont actuellement en cours de reconstitution, mais regorgent encore dâun grand potentiel en ressources forestiĂšres ligneuses. Les informations obtenues Ă travers cette Ă©tude constituent dâimportantes bases techniques pour tester les indicateurs Ă©cologiques de gestion durable des forĂȘts et fournissent des informations sur la mise en oeuvre des directives de gestion pour la sauvegarde de cette aire protĂ©gĂ©e.The dry facies semi-deciduous forest islands of Togodo fauna reserve constitute one of the rare forestry ecosystems in the bare and highly anthropized landscape of the costal plain of Southern Togo. The structural analysis of these forestry islands is conducted through some forestry inventories in 45 plots. In each plot (surface area of 625 mÂČ), each tree (dbh â„ 10 cm) was the subject of a botanical determination and measurement of its dendrometric characteristics. These data were used to establish a diagnosis on the preservation state of plant species of this protected area. In all, 73 ligneous species were recorded with an average density estimated to 955 ± 303.1 N/ha and a basal area equal to 38.9 ± 18.9 m2/ha. Regeneration average density, all species taken into account, is estimated to 6465 N/ha. The species distribution per regeneration strategy shows that most of the species preferentially regenerate by seedling (84.1 %), slightly by shoots of stumps (12.4 %) and scarcely by sucker (3.5 %). The decreasing exponential curve revealed by the distribution of species according to diameter groups indicates that these forests underwent one or much degradations and are currently being reconstituted but abounds still in with a great potential in ligneous forestry resources. The information gathered through this study constitute important technical bases to test the ecological indicators of sustainable forest management and provides information on the implementation of management guidelines to safeguard this protected area

La Grande Muraille Verte
La dĂ©sertification est un phĂ©nomĂšne mondial qui affecte prĂšs de la moitiĂ© de la surface de la planĂšte, notamment en Afrique oĂč 43 % des terres se trouvent dans des zones arides ou semi-arides. La lutte contre la dĂ©sertification dans ces milieux constitue une des prioritĂ©s majeures des Ătats sahĂ©lo-sahariens du Circum-Sahara. Lâ « Initiative africaine Grande Muraille Verte » (IAGMV) rĂ©pond Ă ces enjeux via un ensemble dâactions destinĂ©es Ă assurer le dĂ©veloppement socio-Ă©conomique rĂ©gional. Elle signe lâĂ©mergence dâun leadership de lâAfrique dans la prise en charge de ses dĂ©fis environnementaux, Ă travers la gestion durable et la valorisation de lâimportant potentiel de dĂ©veloppement des zones arides du continent. MalgrĂ© lâacquisition de connaissances scientifiques et techniques dans les domaines liĂ©s Ă la gestion durable des terres en zones arides, la majeure partie de ces donnĂ©es nâont pas Ă©tĂ© capitalisĂ©es et diffusĂ©es, ce qui fragilise la mise en place des diffĂ©rentes politiques de lutte contre la dĂ©sertification. Cet ouvrage a ainsi pour objectif de faire lâĂ©tat des lieux des connaissances et initiatives sur la gestion des problĂ©matiques de la dĂ©sertification. Il capitalise les rĂ©sultats, les expĂ©riences, les techniques et autres donnĂ©es issues de la recherche scientifique, mais aussi des pratiques et des savoirs traditionnels acquis au cours des cinquante derniĂšres annĂ©es. Il propose les recommandations qui en dĂ©coulent afin dâoptimiser les stratĂ©gies et les performances des programmes et projets de lâ « Initiative Grande Muraille Verte ». Il sâadresse aux chercheurs, hydrologues, Ă©cologues, agronomes ainsi quâaux dĂ©veloppeurs et amĂ©nageurs investis dans les programmes de lutte contre la dĂ©sertification
