Abstract Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is an essential tuber crop contributing to food security and rural livelihoods in tropical regions, particularly in the Western Highlands of Cameroon. However, declining soil fertility severely restricts its agricultural productivity. This study evaluated the individual and synergistic effects of organic fertilization, mineral fertilization, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF)

Abstract: Dung-based surveys are widely used to estimate the abundance and population density of elusive forest mammals. The accuracy of these survey depends on reliable estimates of dung density, defaecation rate, and dung survival (decay) time, which may vary with season and habitat. This study evaluated the survival time of dung from antelopes, buffaloes, and

Abstract: Long-term cultivation can substantially reorganize soil physicochemical functioning in semi-arid agroecosystems, particularly in smectitic Vertisols developed from fine-grained alluvial deposits. This study assessed depth-dependent soil quality trajectories and the influence of sedimentary inheritance along a cultivation chronosequence in Southeastern Chad, comprising an uncultivated reference and fields cultivated for approximately 25, 35, and 50 years

Jonathan Armel Mbondo, Marie Dieudonnée Laure Tchiedjo, Adrien Mariel Essoh Etouke, Étienne Didier Bassock Bayiha and Dieu Ne Dort Bahanak This study investigated the length–weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (K), and reproductive characteristics of Synodontis rebeli from the lower Sanaga River, Cameroon. A total of 257 specimens were collected bimonthly between January 2024 and March

Vanelle Nafack Tematio, Jude Manga Ndjaga, Yoradi Nadjilom, Christophe Bertrand Nyanga Awono, Richard Tobolbai Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) forms a vital part of the diet of almost three billion people worldwide. Increasing rice production is crucial to meeting the demands of this ever-growing population. This study examines how the agromorphological and biochemical characteristics of

Obadia Tchingsabe, Laminou Mamadou, Ndje Mbile, Mathurin Tchatat and Din Ndongo ABSTRACT Aim: This study aimed to quantify the socio-economic importance of the Bloc Kébé research forest, East Cameroon) to riparian livelihoods by assessing non-timber forest products (NTFP) collection patterns, use types, income generation, and perceived dependency for food security and health. Study Design: A

Abstract Sustainable management of communal forests remains a challenge for Cameroonian municipalities due to the inadequacy of available data reflecting the current reality of these forests. For this reason, several
