IDENTIFICATION OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES AND ASSESSMENT OF ECOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THE POOL MALEBO IN KINSHASA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
The aim of this study was to identify invasive aquatic species and assess ecological factors in 5 islands, namely Mipongo, Japon, Kabongo, Kingabwa and Molondo.of the Pool Malebo. A floristic inventory was conducted around these sites and physico-chemical characteristics were measured in each island between 8:00am and 3:00pm using an appropriate electronic probe. The floristic affinity between sites was determined by cluster analysis using MVSP software version 4.03, after highlighting the Jaccard's coefficient based on the presence/absence of species in the different collection sites.
