The potential of honey production by honeybee in one area are determined by the flora. This study aims to evaluate the structural characteristics of Syzygium guineense subsp. macrocarpum so as to propose its promotion for beekeeping in Benin. Some structural variables were collected through 18 plots of one hectare (100 m x 100 m). It was installed at random in three classified forests in sudano-guinean zone. Each plot was divided into 16 plots of 625 m² (25m x 25m). For all species of tree and shrub, the stems of dbh ≥ 10 cm have the highest values of density (549 stems/ha) and landed surface (14.06 m 2 /ha) in dry dense forest. However, their middle height (17.53 m) and their middle diameter (22.96 cm) are more raised in wood land savanna. In regards to exclusive stems of S. guineense subsp. macrocarpum, their high values of density (6 stems/ha), landed surface (0.30 m 2 /ha), and middle diameter (17.84 cm) were recorded in the dry dense forest. The relative contribution of S. guineense subsp. macrocarpum to woody population density varied between 0.45 and 1.04% for wood or shrub of dbh ≥ 10 cm. It also varies between 0.16 and 0.28% for wood or shrub of dbh< 10 cm. The abundance index ranged from 0.09 to 0.77 and from 0.21 to 0.39 respectively for individual of dbh ≥ 10 cm dbh and < 10 cm. The weak values of seedling density require an assessment of its fructiferous production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
