%X Specimens of the forest species such as <i>Pentaclethra
macrophylla</i>,<i> Petersianthus macrocarpus</i>,<i> Pycnanthus angolensis </i>and <i>Terminalia superba</i> have been sampled from LUKI Biosphere reserve in the </span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Democratic Republic of the Congo in order to determine their wood density
with the perspective to decarbonisation. These parameters have been found out
experimentally utilizing a drying technique in an oven including techniques of
immersion in an Erlenmeyer full of water. The corresponding results indicated
that the four <span>species </span>wood
density <span>is respectively 0.85, 0.80,
0.77 and 0.51. These preliminary results will be useful in our ongoing project
on carbon dioxide absorption capacity </span>of Congo rainforest tree <span>species.
