Abstract

ABSTRACT Parkia biglobosa is one of the most important indigenous agroforestry tree species that is highly valued by the local populations in the sudano-guinea savannah region of Africa. This study was carried out in the periphery of Ngaoundere in order to study its ecological characteristics, its exploitation and to contribute to the development of strategies for its conservation. The results showed that regeneration is good but the survival of seedlings is weak. A total of 326 plants of at least 1 m of height were recorded with an average density of 2.04 stems/ha of which 40% were exploitable. Human pressure, livestock browsing and bush fire are the main factors hindering the development of this tree.
