Dispersal limits natural recruitment of African mahoganies
Oikos, 2004The abundance of forest tree species may be locally limited by the inability of species to disperse to all sites suitable for germination and establishment. This phenomenon of “dispersal limitation” has been suggested to promote the maintenance of high species diversity in tropical forests by slowing down competitive exclusion.

In vitro propagation of the African mahogany Khaya senegalensis
New Forests, 2010A protocol was developed for shoot proliferation and plantlet formation of Khaya senegalensis, an important medicinal and timber plantation species introduced to Australia and southern Asia from western and central Africa. We assessed effects of the plant growth regulators, benzyladenine, kinetin, naphthalene acetic acid and gibberellic acid, on shoot ...

Regeneration to ensure sustainable production and conservation of mahogany species globally is considered very important to foresters, investors in plantation, conservationists and timber industries worldwide. Natural regeneration of the mahoganies has been found to be far less than the rate of exploitation hence strong efforts are being made to ...

A decade and half of Ghana’s trade in African Mahogany: A Review
Journal of Energy and Natural Resource Management, 2018This paper sought to review Ghana’s performance with regard to trade in African mahogany from 2001 to 2015. The studyassessed the volume, types of product exported, extent of product innovation and export destinations of the species and woodproducts in general. From the results, the highest export volume was recorded in 2007 (32,149m3) and the least of

When exploiting forest resources, the resource use must be sustainable if its use is to support its function in the natural ecosystem. The African mahogany, a prized timber species, is widely exploited, raising policy concerns about the management of forest resources to meet the social, economic, and ecological needs of present and future gen- erations.
