Savannah area

These technical sheets (in French) concern species from savannah and are based on the behaviour of these species at the forest research station of Lataha, near Korhogo. This station is managed by the CNRA of Ivory Coast.
These sheets were written by Dominique Louppe, N'Klo Ouattara, Fatima Wourro Assandé Ahoba and Bruno Hérault.
The data presented are the result of the work of N'Klo Ouattara and Dominique Louppe between 1989 and 1999 as well as measurements carried out in 2019 by the ForestInnov project: Bruno Hérault, Irié Zo-Bi, Fabrice Tioulé, Anatole N'Guessan Kanga , Assandé Ahoba and Dominique Louppe supported by the staff of the station.
We would like to thank the CNRA of Ivory Coast, which manages this station in Lataha, as well as the neighbouring populations who have given up the land on which the plantations were carried out. We also thank the staff of the Lataha station who planted these trees, monitored them and carried out the measurements.
