Anthropogenic disturbance regimes reduce biomass and alter floristic composition in montane forests of Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
Montane forests of Kahuzi-Biega National Park (PNKB), located in the Albertine Rift, represent a major reservoir of biodiversity and carbon, yet they are increasingly affected by anthropogenic disturbances despite their protected status. This study assessed how anthropogenic disturbances are spatially organized and how they affect forest structure, aboveground biomass, floristic diversity, and community composition in the high-altitude montane fo…
Climate-smart agronomic practices and their appraisal among smallholder sorghum farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo wetlands
Utilizing scientometric analysis to evaluate indicators of quality research at the institutional level
The recognition and reputation of scientists and academic institutions are well-established in the field of scientometrics. However, these aspects face criticism in regions with limited information access and considered underdeveloped. In this study, we aimed to discuss the research performance of young universities (YU) in these challenging contexts. Despite financial, socio-economic, and political struggle, research in these YU has not stagnate…
Utilization of non-timber forest products as alternative sources of food and income in the highland regions of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
In developing countries, studies on sustainable preservation of forests (including non-timber forest products NTFPs) have been poorly carried out for promoting alternative income generating activities (IGA) to alleviate pressure on praised resources by local communities living close by protected areas. This study aimed at (1) inventorying NTFPs exploited by local communities around the Kahuzi Biega National Park (KBNP), (2) assessing their therap…
Forest cover affects gully expansion at the tropical watershed scale
This study aimed at assessing the land use and land cover change and its effect on the gully expansion in an agricultural and woodland tropical watershed. We used the case study of Luzinzi watershed in South-Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where gullies are in development. We used very high-resolution (VHR) images downloaded from Google Earth and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) images. ArcGIS 10.7 software helped for spatial analy…
Fire risk assessment, spatiotemporal clustering and hotspot analysis in the Luki biosphere reserve region, western DR Congo
This paper analyzes active fires from 2001 to 2019 in and around the Luki Biosphere Reserve , western DR Congo to assess fire risks. In this study, we used descriptive statistics to assess fire events, Getis-Ord G hotspot analysis to define the spatial patterns presented by the fire events. Diagnostics for spatiotemporal clustering of fires location and space-time interaction were assessed the spatiotemporal K function. MODIS data from 2001 to 20…
