[The sacred forests of Guinea: Between ecology and conservation].
Comptes Rendus Biologies 2018 November 12
Guinea has very little ecological data available regarding its sacred forests. This study shows the important conservation role of these forests in a local context of strong human impacts. We present four representative case studies from the Sudano-Guinean zone in Upper Guinea. Our phytoecological inventories recorded a total of 431 species, 312 genera, and 87 families including 242 species, 187 genera, and 64 families in the forests. Twelve plant groups have been identified, including five in forests and seven in the surrounding vegetation. Geomorphology, texture, soil hydromorphism, microclimate, and human impacts are significant in explaining the spatial distribution of plant groups. The study reveals that in these Sudano-Guinean savannas, vegetation is dominated by micro-phanerophytes. The Guinean-Congolese flora is better represented in gallery forests.
