In the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon, farmers generally associate cocoa with native and exotic trees in complex agroforestry systems. Despite the socio-economic and ecological importance of these systems, few studies have investigated their plant composition. We investigated tree composi...

Diversity of plants in cocoa agroforests in the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon
Forest cover has deteriorated less in Central Africa than in West Africa. The cocoa cultivation practised in West Africa, after felling of the forest, has contributed to the destruction of that cover. Unlike West Africa, cocoa cultivation in Southern Cameroon (Centaral Africa) is done by smallhol...

Initiatives endogenes d'intensification et de diversification a l'interieur des agroforets-cacao au Sud-Cameroun: lecons pour une foresterie participative dans les systemes a base de cultures perennes en Afrique centrale et de l'Ouest
This study determined the structure of cocoa plantations along a continuous gradient of market access, population density and resource use intensity in the humid forest zone of southern Cameroon. The study area comprises the sub-regions of Yaoundé, Mbalmayo, and Ebolowa. Market access, population...
