CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Morphological characterization of Terminalia cebula Retz. in Sri Lanka

Exporter la citation

Terminalia chebula Retz. (Aralu in Sinhala) is a perennial plant, which consists of vital medicinal properties. The T. chebula trees are naturally distributed only in the Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka, although planted trees can be seen in all agro-climatic zones. However, no agronomic or ecological research has been conducted on this species. Consequently, this research was conducted to identify the ecological distribution of T. chebula in different agro-ecological regions of Sri Lanka and to characterize the different populations based on its morphological variation. Forty one morphological characters were considered using samples from 125 trees representing different populations. The studied populations in Sri Lanka could be clustered into 4 groups based on their morphological characters. Each group consisted of plants from different locations, which suggest that the grouping is not based on environmental parameters. However, 80% of the Nilgala population grouped into one cluster and all the natural T. chebula plants are located only in Intermediate Zone indicating a relationship between the plant and the environmental parameters under natural conditions
