Two Smithsonian organizations, the Monitoring and |
|
Assessment of Biodiversity Program (SI/MAB) and the |
|
Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS), continue |
|
ongoing research projects in Western and Central Africa. |
|
Previous funding led to the development of eleven SI/MAB |
|
1-ha research plots and the 50-ha CTFS Korup Forest |
|
Dynamics Plot. These research plots seek to better |
|
understand forest dynamics and tropical forest ecosystems |
|
through analysis of forest biology and spatial |
|
distribution, and species identification. Current |
|
research efforts in the Korup Forest Dynamics Plot focus |
|
on data management and correction, as well as |
|
complementary research projects analyzing forest |
|
structure and composition, demography, and phenology. |
|
Community outreach and training continues in the project |
|
through two SI/MAB training courses in long-term |
|
biodiversity monitoring (adaptive management) and one |
|
CTFS training course in field botany. Two graduate |
|
research projects, one focusing on rural socio-economic |
|
conditions and the other on medicinal plant screening, |
|
proceed in the Korup Forest Dynamics Plot, supplementing |
|
the extensive forest dynamics database. |
