Following randomly phytosociological surveys, the study revealed that DCF is composed to 253 species, divided into 58 families and 171 genera. The most represented families of this flora are Fabaceae (17.79%), Poaceae (11.46%), Combretaceae (6.32%) and Rubiaceae (5.53%). The most dominant biological types in DCF are respectively phanerophytes (Gross Spectrum = 50.98% ; Weighted Spectrum = 81.48%) and Therophytes (Gross Spectrum = 24.90% ; Weighted Spectrum = 10.64%). In terms of phytogeographic types, the flora of DCF has a strong affinity for Sudanese species (Gross Spectrum = 18.97% ; Weighted Spectrum = 36.51%). They are followed by species common to the Congo-Guinean and Sudano-Zambian regions (Gross Spectrum = 15.41% ; Weighted Spectrum = 32%). DCF is made up of 49.40% species whose vulnerability criteria have not been defined by IUCN (NE), 47.43% species whose vulnerability is considered to be a minor concern by IUCN (LC) and 3.15% species with special status (VU+EN+RC). This study allowed us to show that the FCD plays an important role in the conservation of biodiversity in Burkina Faso. It can be used as tools for better management of said forest.</p> ER -
