CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Use of vegetation maps to infer on the ecological suitability of species using central and western Kenya as an example: part II: Tree species lists for potential natural vegetation types

Vegetation maps show classifications of plant communities based on differ-ences in floristics (composition and relative abundances of species), physio- gnom c structure (such as growth form, he ght, ground cover, type of leaves) and seasonal act vty patterns (van der Maarel 2005, Box and Fuj wara 2005). Potential natural vegetation (PNV) has been defined as the vegetation struc - ture that would become establ shed f all success onal sequences were com - pleted w thout nterference by man under the present cl mat c and edaph c (so l) cond tons, nclud ng those created by man (Tüxen 956, Mueller-Dom - bois and Ellenberg 1974, Box and Fujiwara 2005). This definition makes it clear that PNV s not necessarly the or ginal vegetaton as the ste conditions may have changed after the orginal vegetation was removed.
