Impact du cyclone Hugo sur les peuplements de forêt dense humide à la Guadeloupe

Abstract: La zone comprise entre les dixième et vingtième parallèles est fortement soumise aux cyclones. En dehors de cette zone, la destruction massive par le vent est rare (Whitmore et Hadley, 1990). Au sein de cette ceinture cyclonique, les facteurs écologiques et microclimatiques ainsi que la végétation relèvent en partie de l'influence du vent. Les forêts soumises aux cyclones se distinguent alors à la fois par leur composition floristique et par leur structure (Longman et Jenik, 1974). Par exemple, Shaw (1983) cit… Show more

“…With the exception of some plantations otSwietenia macrophylla, this forest is regarded as one of the largest primary rainforests of the Lesser Antilles. Canopy height averages 30 m. The dominant species are Dacryodes excelsa, Tapura latifolia, Amanoa caribaea and, in the upper locations, Richeria grandis (Labbe & Meloni 1993, Rousteau 1995a.…”

“…Among these species, the trees which withstood the disturbance exhibited mostly minor damage. Their ability to withstand such a disturbance could thus explain why these two species comprise more than 25% of the stems at low elevation in the rainforest (Labbe & Meloni 1993). In Luquillo Forest, Puerto Rico, Basnet et al (1992) noticed that D. excelsa was the most resistant species, and they state"d that this species will remain as a dominant species in spite of hurricane recurrences.…”
