Abstract

Ethnobotanical study and contribution of Canarium Schweinfurthii (Engl) (Burseraceae) to ecosystems services of coffee-based agroforests in Bamboutos subdivision, West Cameroon.

Structure and Carbon Stock of Canarium Schweinfurthii (Engl) (Burseraceae) in Coffee-Based Agroforestry Systems of the Bamboutos, West Cameroon

“…In addition, the large size of the trees is a constraint for the exploitation of its fruits by the farmers. Indeed, this difficulty has favored the emergence of a new category of actors represented by professional climbers in the sector Tsewoue et al (2019). The latter generally serve as intermediaries between producers and traders and take charge of harvesting and purchasing all fruit production.…”

“…Demographic pressure coupled with strong land pressure has favored the development of several agricultural practices among which agroforestry systems (AFS) figure prominently Lounang et al (2012). These more or less intensive agricultural practices depending on land availability are dominated by numerous woody species conserved in production systems for their multiple products and services Njoukam et al (2008), Tsewoue (2013). Indeed, farmers conserve and introduce a number of trees into production systems Saj et al (2013), Mapongmetsem et al (2016), Honvou et al (2021).…”

“…In addition, the wood of C. schweinfurthii is used in light carpentry works. Indeed, it is widely used in carving and in the manufacture of utensils Tsewoue et al (2019).…”

“…Indeed, the integration of trees in agroecosystems has the potential to increase soil fertility, reduce erosion, increase biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere through carbon sequestration Nair et al (2009). Many other species including Chlorophora excelsa, Albizzia spp, Entandrophragma spp, Canarium schweinfurthii are generally maintained and protected in cocoa and coffee plantations for their multiple products and services Jagoret et al (2014), Manga et al (2013), Saj et al (2017), Temgoua et al (2018), Tsewoue et al (2019). Similarly, agroforestry systems based on perennial crops such as coffee and cocoa trees by maintaining a high density of tree species in the plots for various services and uses, offer very interesting opportunities, for carbon storage Zafack et al (2002), Saj et al (2013), Temgoua et al (2018).…”

Usages, disponibilité et stratégies endogènes de préservation de Canarium schweinfurthii (Engl.) (Burseraceae) dans la région des Cascades (Burkina Faso) Uses, availability and endogenous conservation strategies of Canarium schweinfurthii (Engl.) (Burseraceae) in the Cascades region (Burkina Faso)

“…Dans le domaine de la médecine traditionnelle, l'espèce est citée dans le traitement de plusieurs maladies (ulcère, maux gastriques, céphalée, courbature, rhume) et même dans la situation des maladies dites "mystiques" (les envoutements). Certains de ces usages ont déjà fait l'objet d'investigations (Tchouamo et al 2000, Tsewoue et al 2019. Les espèces végétales constituent ainsi une source incontournable d'approvisionnement de remèdes pour les soins de santé des populations, surtout rurales, qui se trouvent dans l'incapacité d'avoir accès aux structures sanitaires modernes (Zerbo et al 2011).…”
