The common agricultural practice in the humid tropical forest zone of Cameroon is shifting cultivation, which leads to a landscape mosaic system characterized by a diversity of land cover types. Our objective was to evaluate soil properties and soil quality under these land cover types and to inv...

The humid forest zone of Cameroon is part of the biodiversity rich Congo Basin. Until the mid-1990s, the forests of Cameroon were centrally managed, which excluded communities from accessing forest resources and gaining economic benefits from them. In the early 1990s, more participative forest ma...

Soil water infiltration influences groundwater recharge and potential top soil loss by erosion, as well as the partitioning of runoff into slow flow and quick flow. The aim of the work presented here was to critically review studies of the effects of afforestation on infiltrability in the tropics...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria analysis (MCA) in evaluating and selecting criteria and indicators (C&I) of forest sustainability. The method was applied on a case study involving a forest area managed under the Community-Based Forest Management System of the Department of E...

Forest decision-making is becoming more pluralistic. As the numbers of groups involved in forest decisions have increased, concern about how to accommodate multiple interests has similarly burgeoned. This article presents pluralism as a foundation for understanding how less powerful group's inter...
