Abstract

This work relates to the identification and the evaluation of the negative impacts and positive of the creation of banana plantations serves on the flora of the natural landscape near to the river Bandama, a locality of Niakaramadougou in the north of Côte d’Ivoire. It comprises, the analysis of eco-climatic imbalances related on creation, the exploitation and the end of the creation project of banana serves plantation on the flora of the perimeter of exploitation. Based on floristic inventories, the main aim was to characterize the impacts related to the activities of demolition, and maintenance of plantations of Banana trees on the flora of the localities targeted and to put forward measures of attenuation and/or corrective. The results show that the flora of the study is rich approximately 63 species of which 1 is with particular status. This flora is slightly diversified and its characteristics predict the risks of imbalances biological which can occur with short, average and long run in this locality. The flora knows a gradual degradation related to the former activities of exploitation. Many impacts with which the reduction of the diversity of the exploited woody species, the fragmentation of the forests and the rarefaction of some species in particular, the lianas were identified in this locality. The linked activities with the project have been be potential sources of negative impacts on the flora and have contributed to destroy it to a significant degree if the flora of this locality.

Introduction

The current context of sustainable development with its corollaries (fast urbanization, demography increase, land pressure etc.) breaks sometimes the balance within the ecosystems; in particular those which are fragile and which are sometimes the object of overexploitation. Moreover, the natural resources available on planet are born, evolve and become exhausted over the years. In many African countries, in particular in Côte d'Ivoire, the problematic, population growth-availability of the natural resources is deeply posed. Also, the land pressure is felt it in a gradual way. The problem of land rural moreover into frequent, sometimes source of fatal conflicts, is one of the immediate causes of the land pressure. Face to these problems more and more, solutions of durable or integrated spaces and natural resources management are recommended to prevent eco-climatic imbalances. The evaluation of the impacts of the activities undertaken during the creation of the banana serves plantations in the locality of Niakaramadougou is a subsequent phase with the realization of the project in order to put forward palliative measures of the positive impacts and negative on the flora, the environment, fauna and on the whole of the populations living on the perimeter. From the floristic point of view, the perimeters of exploitation belong to the Sudanese field. One meets the dry dense forest there, savanna raised or timbered, the bordering formations of the waterways, marshy formations etc. nowadays, these at one time timbered vegetable formations, are seriously started and are frequently devastated by fire at certain places. One notes also the presence of pieces of food crops (rain rice, corn, yam), and of the pastures and the points of breeding of pets. The problems of the development, with its corollaries (destruction of many components of nature) require the taking into account of the recommendations of many researchers whose activities are directed towards the safeguard of the biodiversity. It is inter alia Kouassi et al. (2013), Baker et al. (2001), etc. These recommendations aim compensating for or at correcting the damage caused by the man with the environment. Actually, they are the human beings and the animals which are mainly exposed with the consequences of much destruction caused within nature. Over the years, the environment and living environment become increasingly invaluable for the survival of the living beings. Its management must thus from now on integrate realities of the medium of kind to support the life in all its forms.

Impact of the creation of a plantation of banana serves on the flora of Niagaramadougou in the north of Côte d’Ivoire

The present study main objective was to contribute to identify and to evaluate the impacts of the creation project of banana serves plantation on the flora of the aforesaid locality ; that in order to put forward measures of attenuation and/or corrective.
