The book "Investigation of Desiccation Sensitivity of Seeds of S. guineense" offers a comprehensive analysis of the sensitivity of seeds to desiccation as well as the ethnobotanical aspects of S. guineense (Willd.) DC. ssp. afromontanum. Based on field and laboratory studies, the results are presented, showing that the germination rate of the seeds significantly decreases when the moisture content falls below 37%. The study also documents the extensive knowledge of the local population regarding the use of the tree, which is valued for construction material, firewood, local medicine, and edible fruit. Furthermore, it highlights the threat to the species due to overexploitation, underscoring the need for conservation measures. This specialized book is aimed at scientists, students, and professionals engaged in botany, ethnobotany, and conservation.
