摘要
The arboretum established in 1956 around the Mbalmayo Forestry School in Cameroon has been monitored and cared for by several generations of teaching staff, with the support of various cooperation agencies. Marking the fiftieth anniversary of its creation, a study was carried out in fifteen parcels in order to measure the main dendrometric parameters and assess their productivity for construction timber. High timber productivity in several species, Bete (Mansonia altissima), Framire (Terminalia ivorensis) and Wenge (Milletia laurentii), offers good prospects for reforestation. Though initially planted as single-species stands, a variety of woody and herbaceous species is now regenerating naturally in the different parcels. These results justify renewed planting of construction timber species in the dense humid forest zones of central Africa. Large industrial plantations, which are no longer a priority today, are being usefully replaced by small individual plantations or more extensive community or village plantations. The Sectoral Forests and Environment Programme, which is financed under a debt cancellation scheme, should contribute to this.
