Epiphytic Dynamics of the Adaptations to the Changes of Habitats in Taï National Park

Research in Taï National Park reveals that formerly anthropized forests in the Djapadji sector exhibit a strong dynamic of plant cover reconstitution, particularly evident through the distribution and diversity of epiphytic plants. The study identified 26 epiphyte species across 18 genera and 9 families, predominantly found in mountain forests, with strict epiphytes and hemiepiphytes thriving in preserved habitats while accidental epiphytes appeared in reconstitution biotopes. This suggests that degraded areas are recovering ecologically, offering insights into the resilience of plant communities under anthropogenic pressures. The research employed floristic inventories and structural analysis of tree formations to assess biodiversity and habitat recovery, contributing valuable data for monitoring forest dynamics in fragmented landscapes.
