Abstract

The aim of this work was to assess the occurrence of Sclerocarya birrea in Chigubo district to provide information about its productive potential to promote the production of canhu oil by local communities. Diameter at breast height (DBH), total height and commercial height and species names were collected in 10 clusters of four plots with 0.2 ha each. The plots were randomly established in the area to determine horizontal forest structure, diameter distribution and timber volumes per unit area. Later on it was estimate de canhu nuts production in Chigubo district. We found diameter distribution in reverse J-shaped, 106 trees ha-1, with 50.59% from S. birrea, and total basal area of adult species of 34.26 m² ha^-1, with 24.36 m² ha^-1 (71.01%) represented by S. birrea. Sclerocarya birrea nuts production was estimate as 13,345 kg ha^-1year^-1.
