e0“Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is a multipurpose wild fruit tree of sub-Saharan Africa with unknown population demographic stability”
e1“In total, 599 and 1351 baobab trees were recorded in the 14 and 21 plots in the Coastal and lower Eastern regions, respectively with densities of 0.285 (±0.07 S.E.) and 0.429 (±0.07 S.E.) stems/ha, respectively”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Baobab stem density in the Coastal region was 0.285 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.
- Observation The baobab populations were stable in general.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that local communities maintain existing baobab trees and promote establishment of young baobabs.
