  • Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)
    Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607) by Nancy Ross Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro- cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important tropical wood timbers. If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore, different species may be know by the same common name. Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some species have 20 or more common names. This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not happen to be in the existing index.

  • The Woods of Liberia
    THE WOODS OF LIBERIA October 1959 No. 2159 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE MADISON 5, WISCONSIN In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin THE WOODS OF LIBERIA1 By JEANNETTE M. KRYN, Botanist and E. W. FOBES, Forester Forest Products Laboratory,2 Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture - - - - Introduction The forests of Liberia represent a valuable resource to that country-- especially so because they are renewable. Under good management, these forests will continue to supply mankind with products long after mined resources are exhausted. The vast treeless areas elsewhere in Africa give added emphasis to the economic significance of the forests of Liberia and its neighboring countries in West Africa. The mature forests of Liberia are composed entirely of broadleaf or hardwood tree species. These forests probably covered more than 90 percent of the country in the past, but only about one-third is now covered with them. Another one-third is covered with young forests or reproduction referred to as low bush. The mature, or "high," forests are typical of tropical evergreen or rain forests where rainfall exceeds 60 inches per year without pro­ longed dry periods. Certain species of trees in these forests, such as the cotton tree, are deciduous even when growing in the coastal area of heaviest rainfall, which averages about 190 inches per year. Deciduous species become more prevalent as the rainfall decreases in the interior, where the driest areas average about 70 inches per year. 1The information here reported was prepared in cooperation with the International Cooperation Administration. 2 Maintained at Madison, Wis., in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.

The test data were analysed using Easyfit® statistical package. The uncertainty models (Coefficients of Variation and Distribution models) of the reference material properties (density, bending strength and modulus of elasticity) were determined. The coefficient of variation of the density, modulus of elasticity and bending strength were found to be 15%, 21% and 16% respectively. The mean values of the density, modulus of elasticity and the bending strengths were determined at moisture contents of 17.93%. The values were adjusted to 12% moisture content for the determination of the strength class according to [1]. Five standard probability distribution models (Normal, Lognormal, Gumbel, Weibull and Frechet) were fitted to each of the three reference material properties using Kolmogorov Smirnov probability distribution fitting technique.

This study investigated the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on early growth of Terminalia ivorensis. Uniform seedlings were transplanted into 2kg of soil amended with different levels of fertilizers as follows:T1 = 10g of Cow dung, T2 = 10g of Poultry manure, T3 = 5g of Poultry manure + 5g of Cow dung, T4 = 6g of N:P:K: 20:10:10, T5 = 3g of NPK + 3g of Urea, T6 = 6g of Urea, T7 = 5g of Poultry manure + 0.13g of Urea, T8 = 0.13g of Cow dung + 3g of NPK, T9 = 5g of Cow dung + 0.13g of Urea, T10 = Control (Topsoil only). There were ten (10) treatments, replicated three (3) times and laid in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Seedling height (cm), stem diameter (mm), number of leaves, leaf area (cm²) and biomass production were assessed. Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level; of probability. There were no significant differences among the treatments on seedling height, leaf area and collar diameter while there was significant difference among the treatments on leaf production.

Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, P.M.B 5054, Jericho Hill, Ibadan, Nigeria E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] Received 28th April, 2019; Accepted 6th June, 2019; Corrected 30th June, 2019 Abstract Stands of Nauclea diderrichii and Terminalia ivorensis within the arboretum of Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria were assessed for stand density and diameter growth rates of the tree species. Total enumeration of all the trees for both species was carried out and their diameters at breast height (dbh) measured. Nauclea diderrichii stand had the highest density of 430 trees ha-1 and a total basal area of 4.32m2ha-1 while Terminalia ivorensis stand had a density of 400 trees ha-1 and a total basal area of 26.83m2ha-1. The diameter growth rates for the two species were determined by calculating their mean annual increments (MAIs) in DBH. Nauclea diderrichii had an average DBH of 10.98cm and a mean annual increment (MAI) of 1.10cmyr-1 while Terminalia ivorensis had an average DBH of 24.31cm and MAI of 2.43cmyr-1. This study showed that Mean annual increment generally increased with reduction in stand density. Permanent sample plots (PSP) should be established in the arboretum for continuous inventory to provide data for academic and research activities; and also for sustainable management of the tree resources.

  • Exploratory Study on Timber Supply Pattern in Ekiti State, Nigeria
    The Pakistan Journal of Forestry Vol.56(2), 2006 TIMBER SUPPLY PATTERN IN EKITI STATE, NIGERIA AND ITS CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS J. Kayode1 Abstract The implications of timber supply pattern in Ekiti State of Nigeria, on the conservation of timber species was examined. A total of 53 timber species belonging to 20 different families were found to be supplied in the sampled area during the study. 33 of these species were found to be supplied regularly while 22 of them were found to be in high demand by respondents in the study area. 95% of these species were sourced from the free areas while those sourced from the reserves were mere 5%. Most of the timber species were indigenous species, only Gmelina arborea and Tectonia grandis, were exotics which were sourced from the reserves. 10 forest reserves abound in the state; most of them were highly exploited with a myriad of other problems that make them unproductive. Thus the study revealed that the demand for timber far exceeded the supply. Preference for timber species is now skewed towards species availability rather than choice as desired species and sizes could no longer be met. Most of the timber species are now endangered hence conservation strategies that could ensure their continuous supply was proposed. Keywords: Timber, Supply pattern, Conservation, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Introduction Ekiti State (5° 25’ –8° 20’N, 5° 00’ –6° 00’E), located in the southwestern part of Nigeria (Kayode, 2002) has its vegetation consisting of the dry lowland rainforest and the derived savanna. 297.2 Km2 of the state’s vegetation is under reservation as government forest reserves, unreserved forests known as free area measured 3,969.0 Km2 (Falaye et al., 2006) while the total land area of the state is 7000 km2 (EKSG, 1997).

    Biodivers Conserv DOI 10.1007/s10531-016-1231-6 ORIGINAL PAPER Contrasting the distribution of butterflies and termites in plantations and tropical forests 1,2,3 3 1 Yves Basset • He´ctor Barrios • Jose´ Alejandro Ramirez • 1 1 1 Yacksecari Lopez • James Coronado • Filonila Perez • 1 1 4 Stephany Arizala • Ricardo Bobadilla • Maurice Leponce Received: 28 May 2016 / Revised: 4 October 2016 / Accepted: 7 October 2016 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016 Abstract In the tropics vast areas of natural forests are being converted into plantations. The magnitude of the resulting loss in arthropod biodiversity and associated ecosystem services represents a significant topic of research. In this study we contrasted the abun- dance, species richness and faunal turnover of butterflies, resident butterflies (i.e., whose host plants were ascertained to occur in the habitats studied) and termites between small (average 4.3 ha) 20? year old exotic plantations (teak and Terminalia), native plantations (Cedro espino), and an old growth forest in Panama. We used Pollard walks and manual search to quantify the abundance or occurrence of butterflies and termites, respectively. In 2014 we observed 4610 butterflies representing 266 species and 108 termite encounters (out of 160 quadrats) representing 15 species. Butterflies were more abundant and diverse in plantations than in the forest, whereas this pattern was opposite for resident butterflies and termites. There was marked faunal turnover between plantations and forest. We conclude that (a) the magnitude of faunal changes between forest and plantations is less drastic for termites than for butterflies; (b) resident butterfly species are more impacted by the conversion of forest to plantations than all butterflies, including transient species; and Communicated by Akihiro Nakamura.
