Table 1.

The mean densities of baobab trees/ha in the three surveyed land use systems in Taita–Taveta County, Kenya (means calculated using the transect densities)

All baobabs Large baobabs (DBH ≥ 1 m) Small baobabs (DBH < 1 m)
Land use system Area sampled (ha) Total No. of baobabs Mean density SD Max. density Mean density SD Max. density Mean density SD Max. density
AAA 3600 396 0.110 0.272 1.193 0.042 0.096 0.387 0.068 0.195 0.927

Data shown for all baobabs and large (DBH ≥ 1 m) and small (DBH < 1 m) baobabs separately. Per land use system, standard deviation (SD) and maximum density transect per land use type are also given. The land use systems are the Anthropogenically Affected Area (AAA), the national park (NP) and the sisal plantations (Sisal)
