Al Neelain Journal of Science and Technology - Volume 1 - Issue (377986) - Available Browse of Acacia tortilis in Dry Areas; Taking El-Rawakeeb Area as a Case Study

Abstract

This investigation was carried out in El-Rawakeeb area (about 33 km West Omdurman) with the objectives of assessing available browse of Acacia tortilis based on twig count method and tree density using density quadrates method. The results indicated that the mean density of Acacia tortilis is 5.23 tree/ha and the yield was found to be 2.92 kg/tree which is equivalent to 15.3 kg/ha. The results also revealed a poor correlation between the available browse of the tree and the height, diameter at root collar and crown area.
