Research project

I am conducting my PhD research project on the distribution, population structure and dynamics of Mimusops andongensis Hiern, a native valuable species in Africa. This research work aims to assess the ethnobotany and ecology of Mimusops andongensis Hiern, to model its potential distribution and characterize its population structure, dynamics and spatial distribution patterns of individuals and also to experiment with vegetative propagation methods.
