Caractérisation de la végétation et de la biodiversité ligneuse de la réserve de biosphère de la Boucle du Baoulé au Mali
Linking forest management to timber industry requirements is fundamental. Connections of silvicultural activities with wood quality are often limited to size-related characteristics, such as minimum DBH. Restrictions set by international markets (e.g. minimum log dimensions, heartwood content and...
