Vegetative propagation technologies using stem and root cuttings of Paulownia (P. fortunei and P. elongata) tree species for mass production

Paulownia is a multipurpose tree with high-quality wood features including machining qualities, rot resistance, fast growth, a good tree form, high yield, light wood weight and good potential for plantation and agroforestry. In 2012, Paulownia was introduced into Ghana under the FC/Industry plantations project for field trials at Asenanyo and Pra-Anum Forest Reserves. Recent field […]

Soil moisture fluctuation influences AMF root colonization and spore population in tree species planted in degraded entisol soil

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous in soil form symbiotic relation with majority of the plants and pays dividend to host during adverse conditions. As AMF development in soil and in plant roots varies greatly due to changing soil moisture, nutrient and temperature the benefits of symbiosis are also affected. In present investigation soil moisture fluctuation […]

Natural regeneration of some commercial timber tree species following selective logging in a semi deciduous forest in the east region of Cameroon

A critical step in sustainable forest management is to ensure the establishment and regeneration of seedlings and sapling of exploitable tree species following logging. Since selective logging is one of the main silvicultural practices in Cameroon, a detailed understanding of regeneration following selective logging is vital. This study evaluated the natural regeneration of some commercial […]
