Abstract :
Anthropogenic activities and climate change
are factors that have led to ecological imbalance in forest
formations in the Sahel. The present study conducted in
the Bangui classified forest aims to characterise the
woody vegetation in a demographic and climate change
context. The methodology used consisted of
dendrometric measurements and socio-economic
surveys. Seventeen (17) woody species were recorded and
divided into twelve (12) families, the most important of
which are the Fabaceae-Mimosoideae families (29.41%).
The biological types are dominated by
microphanerophytes (McPh =88.24%) and the
phytogeographic types by sudanozambezian species (SZ
=52.94%). The diameter structure shows that the woody
flora is mostly composed of young individuals of small
diameter belonging to the diameter class [2-10 cm [. The
woody diversity is average (H= 3.54 bits). The classified
forest is in a state of progressive degradation. The
factors of this degradation are abusive logging and
climate change. Studies on the dynamics of land use
must be carried out in order to develop a management
plan for this classified forest, for the sustainable
management of its resources and for the well-being of its
populations.
