Integration of information from household surveys and data on land-cover changes derived from remote sensing helps to understand the causes and processes of land-use/land-cover changes. A household survey covering 552 households in 33 villages was carried out in the East Province of Cameroon. Thi...

Impact of macroeconomic change on deforestation in South Cameroon: integration of household survey and remotely-sensed data
The objective of this study is to better understand the complexity of deforestation processes in southern Cameroon by testing a multivariate, spatial model of land-cover change trajectories associated with deforestation. The spatial model integrates a spectrum of independent variables that charac...
Geographic information system techniques were used in combination with remote sensing data to define the net commercial value of standing timber at two sites (Batouri and Bertoua) in the East province of Cameroon. Observed forest cover modifications for the two sites were assessed in relation to ...
