Abstract

The aging of P. africanum within the forest followed a well-defined pattern which was determined from large-scale aerial photographs taken over Tai and Banco National Parks, South Ivory Coast. The main parameters of this pattern were branch orientation, crown stratification, depth of foliage and crown shyness (a phase of declining vigour considered useful for aging the senescent stages of P. africanum).
