Eucalyptus robusta pour une production durable de bois énergie à Madagascar : bilan des connaissances et perspectives

Abstract: Dès son introduction à Madagascar, Eucalyp- tus robusta a été retenu comme espèce de reboisement pour sa remarquable capacité d'adaptation. L’extension de sa plantation par les populations rurales a abouti à la créa- tion d’un massif de près de 140 000 hectares autour d’Antananarivo. Son bois est devenu la principale source d’énergie utilisée par les ménages urbains et ruraux malgaches. Mais aujourd’hui, la production durable de cette ressource est gravement menacée. Le marché déficitaire et la pauvreté des po… Show more

“…Second, urban market demand for wood fuel-particularly charcoal for urban consumers, or even to run industrial installations-as well as for construction wood, drives investment in woodlots [55,75,79,80,[84][85][86][87]. Several areas of the highlands contain landscapes particularly devoted to the production of charcoal, firewood, and wood products.…”

“…The extent and importance of private, and especially smallholder woodlots in meeting-and exceeding-subsistence needs, is a question of great importance. Madagascar, along with Rwanda, appears to be at the leading edge in the proportion of urban energy needs being met by such small-scale woodlots [104] (although doubt has recently been cast on the sustainability of Antananarivo's peri-urban eucalyptus plantations, given observations of a shortening of the coppice cycle below the six years recommended for maximum productivity [87]). The present study contributes to our understanding of this important phenomenon.…”

“…And we know today that even the forests that reappear in Madagascar after slashing and burning are in fact capable of producing high quality timber from indigenous species (Razafintsalama et al, 2014). But a review of their history 60 years later, shows that, contrary to all expectations, peasant farmers themselves were responsible for the success and widespread use of eucalyptus in Madagascar, and that in socio-economic terms at least, this species has become an integral part of Madagascar's rural landscape (Verhaegen et al, 2014).…”
