“…Acacia auriculiformis has a high fiber proportion (58%) and a ray parenchyma proportion of 18%. This is comparable to that obtained in India (Anoop et al, 2012) and in Indonesia (Yahya et al, 2010). The tissues proportion in Acacia auriculiformis wood in Benin is similar to those of Tectona grandis (10 -20 years old) in Ghana: (51 -62% fibers, 7 -10% vessels, 10 -21% axial parenchyma and 15 -19% ray parenchyma) (Amoah and Inyong, 2019).…”

“…The similarity of tissue proportions in A. auriculiformis wood according to age explains the homogeneous growth of the species. A similarity in tissues proportion was previously obtained between different Australian provenances of the species established in India (Anoop et al, 2012), and also in other countries like Indonesia (Yahya et al, 2010). This demonstrates a certain homogeneity in the tissue proportion of the species.…”

The high proportion of fiber in a wood indicates a high wood density, hardness and rigidity of that wood (Amoah and Inyong, 2019;Pirralho et al, 2014) for the various uses of solid wood, charcoal and pulp (Anoop et al, 2012;Pereira et al, 2021;Pirralho et al, 2014).…”

Background: In the face of increasing wood demand in climate change context, fast-growing species are considered as a current solution. However, the ability of fast-growing species in agroforestry systems to contribute to bridging the gap between wood demand and supply and climate change mitigation also depends on the properties of the species, which vary based on locality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunningham ex Benth. wood in Benin to contribute to climate change mitigation while sustainably supplying wood. Tissues proportion (Vessels, ray parenchyma, axial parenchyma, fibers), in the wood; fiber parameters (length, diameter and lumen width); organic carbon content and natural durability of A. auriculiformis wood to termite (Macrotermes bellicosus) were determined. Results:The results indicate that the species has a high proportion of fibers (58%), which are quite long (1 mm to 4 mm), an organic carbon content of 35%, and is moderately durable to very durable against termite infestations. Conclusion:The species, thus, has strong potential for wood (high fiber content, high fiber length, greater durability), renewable bioenergy (good fiber length) and pulp (high fiber content) and could be valued to supplement the wood supply from natural forest and contribute to mitigating the effect of climate change (carbon sequestration and limitation of pressure on natural forests).

“…Studies conducted on the growth performance of Acacia species revealed a clear variation and differences in morphological characters among species, provenances and families especially those obtained from a wide range of natural distribution (Wright, 1976;Anoop et al, 2012). A study of genetic variation from a wide range of distribution among species and origin of genotypes can assist in selecting the best genotypes for more advanced breeding program.…”

Production of quality wood is a big problem in forestry plantation since trees grown in plantation of some high value temperate and tropical hardwood species tend to produce low value, short butt logs and bolts due to crooked stems, low fork heights and delayed shedding of lower branches. Result from existing Acacia plantation in Malaysia indicated that most existing Acacia plantation trees especially Acacia auriculiformis and Acacia mangium, fork very heavily which leads to the formation of multiple leaders more than one and some are fork so close to the ground that they will produce little to no merchantable wood. In this context, a research study was initiated to select and recommend the best performing tree species or provenance suited for timber production in Malaysia with respect to growth and other characteristics. Species/provenance/progeny test was conducted on four species of Acacia namely, A. mangium, A. auriculiformis, A. crassicarpa and A. aulococarpa, each with 4 provenances originated from Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Queensland (QL). The growth performance of the provenances was monitored in terms of some quantitative and qualitative characteristics to evaluate the genetic variation and growth performance of a base breeding population. 20 progenies for each species were selected and randomly planted with 16 trees representing each progenies in a trial plot laid out in a randomized complete block * Corresponding author. M. S. Kumar et al. 218design consisting of four blocks as replication. The study showed that there were significant different (p < 0.05) between species, provenance and progenies for their growth performance. Generally with regard to growth, A. mangium performed better compared to other Acacia species in all of the aspect tested and it was followed by A. crassicarpa, A. aulococarpa and A. auriculiformis. There were also significant differences between provenance within regions and progenies within provenances in all quantitative and qualitative traits tested in this study. Generally, provenance and progenies selected from PNG excelled those from QL both in quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The top performing progenies of Acacia species are CG 1854 of (Bensbach WP) and KN000107 (SW of Boset WP) of A. mangium, BVG2609 (Bensbach WP) of A. crassicarpa, BVG 00835 (WP Morehead) and MM1016 (Arufi E Morehead WP) of A. aulococarpa and JSL363 (Wenlock River) and BVG 2657 (Bansbach) of A. auriculiformis. Note: BF = Bole form, SS = Stem straightness, FA = Forking ability, BS = Branch size, BA = Branch angle; Values are expressed in Mean ± Standard Error; Significant differences among species are indicated by different lower case letters (p < 0.05).
