Since thirty years, four Australian Acacias species are introduced and studied in Anguédédou Research station. The station research is located in evergreen forest in the south of Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of the introduction of these species, is to rehabilitate degraded grounds and fallow after growing. The study aims at appreciating the impact of Acacia species on floristic diversity and the regeneration of forest species. For collecting data, we use quadrat method (35 x 50 m and 6 x 6 m).This method permitted the inventory of 212 species on 1.05 ha. Among these species, 1.89 % are Ivorian endemic species and 11.32 % are endemic of West African flora. The flora under the different species of Acacia are relatively diversified and dense. The majority of plant inventoried under Acacia species have small diameters. The highest specific richness average per plots (36 m2) were noted in the 11 years old parcels of Acacia mangium (26.20±2.34) and 27 years old parcels of Acacia auriculaeformis (25.40±2.34) and Acacia crassicarpa (30.60±2.34). The mean values of diameters (dbh ≥ 2.5 cm) fluctuate from 2.94±0.56 cm for the 8 years old stands of Acacia mangium to 8.09±0.56 cm for the 27 years old settlements of Acacia crassicarpa. The results show that leguminous trees can be used for recolonization of the deforested areas in order to rebuild quickly their plant biodiversity.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as propriedades tecnológicas de chapas aglomeradas fabricadas com partículas de Acacia mangium e adesivo ureia-formaldeído (UF) mediante adição de tanino comercial de Acacia mearnsii na forma de pó a suas partículas. As chapas foram fabricadas sob diferentes razões de compactação e o efeito destas nas propriedades tecnológicas foi avaliado. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado no esquema fatorial 4 x 4, sendo quatro porcentagens de adição de tanino em pó às partículas (0, 10, 20 e 30%), após aplicação do adesivo ureia-formaldeído e quatro razões de compactação nominais - 1,39, 1,55, 1,73, e 2,00. Foi utilizado o ciclo de prensagem com pressão de 3,92 MPa e temperatura de 140ºC por 8 minutos. A adição de tanino em pó às partículas encoladas com ureia-formaldeído proporcionou melhoras em algumas propriedades físicas e mecânicas. Os resultados indicam a adição do tanino em pó como alternativa viável de utilização em chapas de partículas, sem necessidade de sua diluição.

The aim of our work was to assess the growth and mineral nutrition of salt stressed Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth. and Acacia mangium Willd. seedlings inoculated with a combination of selected microsymbionts (bradyrhizobia and mycorrhizal fungi). Plants were grown in greenhouse conditions in non-sterile soil, irrigated with a saline nutrient solution (0, 50 and 100 mm NaCl). The inoculation combinations consisted of the Bradyrhizobium strain Aust 13c for A. mangium and Aust 11c for A. auriculiformis, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices, DAOM 181602) and an ectomycorrhizal fungus (Pisolithus albus, strain COI 007). The inoculation treatments were designed to identify the symbionts that might improve the salt tolerance of both Acacia species. The main effect of salinity was reduced tree growth in both acacias. However, it appeared that, compared with controls, both rhizobial and mycorrhizal inoculation improved the growth of the salt-stressed plants, while inoculation with the ectomycorrhizal fungus strain appeared to have a small effect on their growth and mineral nutrition levels. Endomycorrhizal inoculation combined with rhizobial inoculation usually gave good results. Analysis of foliar proline accumulation confirmed that dual inoculation gave the trees better tolerance to salt stress and suggested that the use of this dual inoculum might be beneficial for inoculation of both Acacia species in soils with moderate salt constraints.

Objetivou-se neste trabalho determinar o perfil da densidade aparente em painel aglomerado confeccionado com partículas da madeira de Acacia mangium. Utilizou-se a técnica de microdensitometria de raios X correlacionada com a densidade gravimétrica. Foram utilizados os adesivos ureia formaldeído e tanino comercial de Acacia mearnsii aplicado na forma de pó diretamente nas partículas previamente encoladas. Os painéis foram fabricados com quatro razões de compactação (1,39; 1,55; 1,73; e, 2,00) combinadas a quatro proporções de tanino em pó (0, 10, 20 e 30%), totalizando 16 tratamentos (4 painéis por tratamento). Foram determinados, analisados e comparados o perfil da densidade aparente (densidade média, densidade máxima e densidade mínima) e a densidade gravimétrica dos aglomerados produzidos. O perfil da densidade é apresentado graficamente e interpretado por análise de variância e regressão linear múltipla. Os valores de densidade aparente média, máxima e mínima observados para os painéis aglomerados obtidos pela microdensitometria de raios X variaram de 357 a 697 kg/m3, 386 a 824 kg/m3 e 334 a 634 kg/m3, respectivamente, e pelo método gravimétrico de 369 a 742 kg/m3. A técnica mostrou-se eficiente na determinação de variações nos perfis de densidade aparente ao longo da espessura dos painéis em todos os tratamentos, bem como mostrou-se eficiente na obtenção direta da densidade aparente. Estas variações poderiam ser minimizadas se o tanino utilizado fosse anteriormente hidratado em água. Houve forte correlação entre as médias das densidades obtidas pelo método do microdensitômetro de raios X e pelo método gravimétrico.

Abstract Polyphenols in heartwood, sapwood, and knots of Acacia crassicarpa and Acacia mangium were analysed using GC, GC-MS, HPSEC, and NMR. Melacacidin and isomelacacidin dominated in A. crassicarpa and teracacidin and its ketone in A. mangium. Also, bi- and triflavonoids were tentatively identified in the samples. The amounts of polyphenols were larger in the knots than in the heartwood of both species, while the composition within the species was the same.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the rumen fluid’s in-vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), in-vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), and pH of different species Acacia seed pods as a single feed ingredient. The Acacia species in this study were Acacia mangium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Acacia crassicarpa. The method used was in vitro two-stages with the first 48 hours of incubation (the rumen) and the second 48 hours of incubation (post-rumen), and analyses of pH. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 5 replications based on the Acacia species. The data were analysed with oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that IVDMD stage one was 34.59-37.59%; IVOMD stage one was 38.66-43.06%. Stage two of IVDMD was 58.02-59.23%; stage two of IVOMD was 51.67-55.01% and rumen fluid pH were 6.58-7.02. Different Acacia seed pods had significant differences in IVDMD and IVOMD stage one in the rumen and stage two in the post-rumen (P<0.05), but not in the pH value (P>0.05). We concluded that different acacia seed pods had different digestibility values in the rumen and post-rumen. However, it does not affect the rumen acidity.
