Codirecteur: Claude Camiré
Tamarix senegalensis is one of the best adapted native shrubs in the saline ecosystems of the lower Senegal valley. This research evaluated the growth and nutrition of this species, at seven different levels of additions of NaCl solution combined with the presence or absence of a rooting hormone. A second study examined the relation between increase in height and diameter and the nutrition of the species across a natural gradient of salinity on four sites.
