Size of conducting phloem: The "key" factor for bark recovery of 12 tropical medicinal tree species
Original language description
For rural populations in Africa, tree bark is widely used for medicinal purposes. Despite its importance, no anatomical studies exist which detail the recovery of medicinal tree species in Africa to bark harvesting. This present study aims to determine the anatomical variable(s) that could help to predict the differing recovery rates of 12 medicinal tree species. Discs of branches were collected from non-harvested trees of 12 different African species. A total of 12 anatomical variables were measured inthe wood, the cambium and the phloem zone, and the correlation between the bark recovery rate and each variable was tested. Among the 12 anatomical variables tested, the thickness of the conducting phloem zone emerged as the most important one to explain the bark recovery rate. The presence of sclereids within the conducting phloem zone was also found to be an explanatory variable and was negatively correlated with the bark recovery rate. For 10 out of the 12 species, the thickness of t
