Seedling survival and growth of three ectomycorrhizal caesalpiniaceous tree species in a Central African rain forest
Tree recruitment is determined in part by the survivorship and growth of seedlings. Two seedling cohorts of the threemost abundant caesalpiniaceous species forminggroves atKorup,Cameroon,were followed from1995/1997 to2002, to investigatewhyMicroberlinia bisulcata, themost abundant species, currentlyhasvery fewrecruits compared withTetraberlinia korupensisandT. bifoliolata.Numbersof seedlingsdyi...
متن کاملTransient dominance in a central African rain forest
The large-crowned emergent tree Microberlinia bisulcata dominates rain forest groves at Korup National Park, Cameroon, along with two codominants, Tetraberlinia bifoliolata and T. korupensis. M. bisulcata has a pronounced modal size frequency distribution around ;110 cm stem diameter: its recruitment potential is very poor. It is a long-lived lightdemanding species, one of many found in African...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Phylogenetic Tree Community Structure of a Protected Tropical Rain Forest Area in Cameroon
Tropical rain forests, the richest terrestrial ecosystems in biodiversity on Earth are highly threatened by global changes. This paper aims to infer the mechanisms governing species tree assemblages by characterizing the phylogenetic structure of a tropical rain forest in a protected area of the Congo Basin, the Dja Faunal Reserve (Cameroon). We re-analyzed a dataset of 11538 individuals belong...
متن کاملTermite (Insecta: Isoptera) Species Composition in a Primary Rain Forest and Agroforests in Central Amazonia
Termites play important roles in organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and soil structure in tropical rain forests. When forests are replaced by agriculture, termite species richness, abundance, and function often decline. We compared the termite assemblage of a primary forest site with that of a low plant diversity, palm-based agroforest (five plant species) and a high plant diversit...
