Traditional uses of Detarium microcarpum Guill. & Perr. (Fabaceae) and potential for its valorisation as fuelwood

Abstract: Detarium microcarpum Guill. & Perr. is a common multipurpose small tree species of Sudanian and Sudano-Guinean savannahs with high potential for use as fuelwood but little valued in forestry programs. The present study aimed at assessing the current local uses of D. microcarpum, factors determining its use as fuelwood and determine the geographical areas with the socio-cultural groups which is most suitable for its integration into fuelwood programs. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 1074 people… Show more

“…The high frequency of use reported by women in the energy category (firewood) underlines the species' value to households, likely due to the wood's flame intensity and low smoke emission (Ramos et al, 2008; Sinadouwirou et al, 2022). Other studies like Dao et al (2020) and Sinadouwirou et al (2022) have also emphasised wood characteristics as a primary factor in firewood selection.…”

Other studies like Dao et al (2020) and Sinadouwirou et al (2022) have also emphasised wood characteristics as a primary factor in firewood selection. Moreover, another study pointed out the dependence of local populations on forest resources for various needs and income generation, exacerbating deforestation and forest degradation (Hesselberga & Iversenb, 2011).…”

“…Les organes de ces espèces servent aux populations à plusieurs fins : usages alimentaires, médicinaux, magico-religieux, l'exploitation du bois (Edalo et al, 2019). Par exemple Sinadouwirou et al 2022 identifiaient Detarium microcarpum comme une espèce fortement utilisée par les femmes comme bois de chauffe. Dès lors l'intérêt des populations pour l'exploitation des organes (surtout les graines) de ces espèces végétales peut constituer un obstacle à la régénération de ces dernières, si la cueillette s'avère non durable.…”
