Lannea kerstingii (anacardiaceae) is found mainly in the
guinea and sudan savannahs and is useful as an agroforestry species and in
meeting health benefits. The objective of this study is to close existing gaps
in data availability for the purpose of formulating forest policy and planning
in the sub-region of the study area. Twenty trees were sampled from fifteen
quadrats each measuring 100m*100m and using different approaches, were measured
for diameter at breast height, crown area, crown ratio, height and volume.
Statistical analysis of the data generated was carried out using the
coefficient of determination(r) and pearson’s correlation (r2). There were
strong positive correlations with basal area and volume, while weaker
associations with crown ratio and crown area were observed. Biomass assessment
provides relevant data which helps in biodiversity conservation, carbon
sequestration, climate change mitigation, climate budgeting and financing,
culminating in developing an appropriate framework for forest policy
formulation, planning and development.
