Abstract: Like the exotic plant species of Côte d'Ivoire, the question of harmfulness or usefulness of
Acacia mangium needs to be clarified. Based on comparisons of floras of natural fallows and
Acacia mangium fallows, the purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of natural
fallows and improved fallows in Acacia mangium to the improvement of plant biodiversity. The
parameters considered in this work were floristic diversity and composition, plant succession and
floral similarity. Concerning floristic richness, Acacia mangium fallows was more productive
than natural fallows. In addition, the morphological analysis of the species encountered shows an
abundance of woody species in the Acacia mangium fallows and those of herbaceous species in
the natural fallows |
