Dynamics of forest ecosystems in Central Africa during the Holocene : past - present - future /
Tropical rain forests in Africa and in other low latitude regions around the world are recognized as evolutionary, ancient ecosystems which are species-rich and stable over time. Another perspective on tropical forests sees them as biodiversity hotspots which are often endangered by human exploratio...
