Influence of the dynamics of Albizia adianthifolia and Albizia zygia, two legume tree on the density of lianas during the post-harvest reconstitution in semi-deciduous forest of Côte d'Ivoire

Abstract

The present study aims at establishing the influence of the dynamics of Albizia adiathifolia and Albizia zygia, two leguminous trees on the evolution of the density of lianas in the reconstruction of post-harvest plant. Conducted at Oumé central western Côte d'Ivoire semi-deciduous forest area, the objective of this study is to highlight the role of Albizia during the post-harvest recovery from determining their influence on the development of lianas. The floristic inventories and measurements performed in 54 fallows, 1-53 years showed that the densities of lianas and those of Albizia grow proportionately. However, changes in the number of lianas are not influenced by the canopy created by Albizia during their growth.
