Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Baobab stem density in the Coastal region was 0.285 stems/ha (±0.07 S.E.).
- Observation Baobab stem density in the lower Eastern region was 0.429 stems/ha (±0.07 S.E.).
- Association The Lower Midland 5 agro-ecological zone had a significantly higher density of mature baobab trees than the other zones (p = .047).
- Association The Lower Midland 5 agro-ecological zone had a significantly higher density of total baobab trees than the other zones (p = .028).
- Association Juvenile, mature and total baobab tree densities did not differ significantly between the coast and eastern regions.
- Observation Negative size-class distribution slopes in both regions indicated more baobab trees in the smaller size classes and good recruitment.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that local communities maintain existing baobab trees and promote establishment of young baobabs.
