The spatial analysis of the flora of the peri-urban forest of Djoumouna has been conducted in Brazzaville, Congo. Data collection, conducted from April to August 2017, is based on a floristic inventory of 75 plots of each 400 m 2 (20 m x 20 m). The study shows 898 trees of dbh ≥ 10 cm corresponding to 106 species and 36 families. The number of individuals per plot averages 11.97 ± 0.42 feet/plot while the number of species per plot averages 7.37 ± 0.30. The land used by projecting the trunk sections is on average 0.74 ± 0.05 m 2 /plot. The Jaccard similarity coefficient between plots is between 0 and 75% while the average Skewness is 1.26 ± 0.11. The average Shannon index is 1.77 ± 0.05 per plot with an average maximum diversity of 1.93 ± 0.04. The average Pielou index is 0.91 ± 0.01. The absolute diversity index averages 6.54 ± 0.29 while α-Fisher averages 11.44 ± 1.39. The average value of the Green index is-0.04 ± 0.01 and finally 7.55% of taxa have a rarefaction index of species between 40 and 77% compared to 92.45% where this index varies from 81 to 99%. The upward hierarchical classification and the AFC highlight the presence of floristic subfacies resulting from taxa independence. Since most species have a density of less than 1 tree.ha-1 , the floristic composition is heterogeneous, resulting in insufficient natural regeneration and low resilience of this ecosystem threatened with extinction in the very short term.
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.
