Ecomorphology and anatomy of bark regeneration of medicinal trees in tropical Africa

The bark of many tropical trees is being used for medicine, either locally as by the pharmaceutical industry. We study the bark regeneration capacity of trees where the bark was partially removed in the context of a forest management aiming at a sustainable production of goods.
