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…
Dynamics and determinants of forest cover changes in the inner Congo basin
Massive deforestation and forest degradation have been observed in the inner Congo basin in the last decades. While agricultural expansion onto forest land is widely recognized as the main driver of deforestation, local dynamics and social drivers remain understudied. This study investigates both the forest cover dynamics monitored from satellite products and the agricultural practices from household interviews across the Tshopo, the largest prov…
Tree allometry and stand structure in dryland forests relics of northern Côte d’Ivoire
The contribution of dryland forests in West Africa to carbon stocks remains poorly documented due to the lack of appropriate allometric models and inventory data. In this study, we gathered such data for dryland forest relics of northern Côte d’Ivoire. Inventory data were used to determine and sample the dominant species, and to characterize the stand structure. Destructive biomass data were used to develop local mixed-species allometric models f…
Scaling up the assessment of logging’s impact on forest structure in Central Africa using field and UAV data
A third of the forest area in Central Africa has been granted to logging companies. Logging is highly selective in the region, with an average of 0.7–4.0 trees harvested per ha, but its direct impact on forest structure and the spatial variation of this impact remain understudied. Here, we investigated the direct impact of logging on forest structure, we related this impact to logging intensity and canopy opening. We compiled unique datasets coll…
The light-deficient climates of western Central African evergreen forests
Rainfall thresholds under which forests grow in Central Africa are lower than those of Amazonia and southeast Asia. Attention is thus regularly paid to rainfall whose seasonality and interannual variability has been shown to control Central African forests' water balance and photosynthetic activity. Nonetheless, light availability is also recognized as a key factor to tropical forests. Therefore this study aims to explore the light conditions pre…
Deforestation and timber production in Congo after implementation of sustainable management policy: A reaction to the article by J.S. Brandt, C. Nolte and A. Agrawal (Land Use Policy 52:15–22)
New Evidence of Human Activities During the Holocene in the Lowland Forests of the Northern Congo Basin
In the last decade, the myth of the pristine tropical forest has been seriously challenged. In central Africa, there is a growing body of evidence for past human settlements along the Atlantic forests, but very little information is available about human activities further inland. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the temporal and spatial patterns of human activities in an archaeologically unexplored area of 110,000 km 2 located in the n…
