The thesis aims to fill a lake of knowledge on the demography of perennial grasses in a humid savanna (Lamto). The impact of 4 fire treatments (early fire, mid-season fire, late fire and no fire) on the demography of the dominant perennial grasses was studied between 2015 and 2018 on sub-plots of 5 × 5 m and 5 × 10 m. Matrix models with 5 classes of circumference were used. Different responses of the species were observed. The circumference of the tussocks, varies between 3 cm and 156 cm. Fragmentation, retrogression, and fecundity increase with circumference as mortality and tussock growth decrease. Late fire causes more death, retrogression and fragmentation while mid-season fire promotes more growth and less retrogression. All species sh...
