Elaboration de tarifs de cubage pour le genre Rhizophora au Delta du Saloum (Sénégal)

Researchers have developed two highly accurate volume estimation models (Y2 and Y4) for Rhizophora mangrove species in the Saloum Delta, Senegal. These models, with R² values of 0.956 to 0.968, provide precise wood volume measurements critical for sustainable resource management amid growing demand and mangrove degradation. The study employed three theoretical adjustment models to derive six tariffs, ultimately recommending Y2 and Y4 due to their accuracy and validity intervals. This work addresses urgent needs for quantifying available mangrove biomass while balancing ecological conservation with population demands.
