Cropping Intensity and Post-cultivation Vegetation Successions: Developing Sustainable Agro-ecosystems in Ndop Plain, Cameroon; Back coverThe densely populated Bamenda Highlands of Cameroon remains one of the regions with the greatest land degradation problems in the country. Factors responsible for this include climate change, the hilly nature or topographic layout of the land, and human interference through overgrazing, destructive agricultural practices and the impact of deforestation. This detailed study of resource management and its ecological challenges in the Bamenda Highlands, stresses an important link between falling food output and soil deterioration.
