Distribution and population characteristics of the Cucumber Tree (Dendrosicyos socotranus Balf.f.)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We conducted a study throughout Socotra Island (Yemen) to investigate the distribution, population structure and regeneration potential of the endemic and threatened tree species Dendrosicyos socotranus, the Cucumber Tree. In total, 163 live trees (excluding seedlings) were found in all (24) investigated locations, covering an area of 96 km2. The height, stem circumference, fertility and coordinates of each tree were measured and data regarding the ecotope, land cover and natural regeneration were recorded. We estimated that there could be more than 6400 Cucumber Tree individuals among the populations on Socotra Island. The majority of the trees occur in the &quot;high Shrubland with succulents&quot; and &quot;wadi&quot; land cover classes. In general, the fertility of the trees is good, and natural regeneration occurred in 77% of the locations with adult trees; it was found that 16% of the individual trees regenerated. Our study, collecting data on the regeneration of the species and estimating the size of local populations for the first time, can be used for local conservation and future monitoring of this important, endangered Socotran endemic.
