Dynamics of Forest Ecosystems in Central Africa During the Holocene: Past – Present – Future
Palaeoecology of Africa, An International Yearbook of Landscape Evolution and Palaeoenvironments, Volume 28
About this book
Bringing together experts from several disciplines, this volume collects the best papers presented at the international workshop on 'Environmental and Cultural Change in West and Central Africa, held in Cameroon, March 2006. Problems of Holocene and Late Pleistocene modifications of the rain forest savanna fringe and their possible influence on cultural innovations are discussed. This is an important resource for those concerned with tropical forests and related development problems of third world countries. It is an excellent source of information for new original manuscripts on the topic of Late Pleistocene and Holocene landscape evolution in the lower latitudes of Africa.
