Contribution of soil physical properties in the assessment of flood risks in tropical areas: case of the Mbo plain (Cameroon)
Flooding occurs when water is in excess and can no longer be evacuated normally. The nature of the soil has been identified as one of the major...

Seasonal fluctuations of extracellular enzyme activities are related to the biogeochemical cycling of C, N and P in a tropical terra-firme forest
Extracellular enzymes (EE) play a vital role in soil nutrient cycling and thus affect terrestrial ecosystem functioning. Yet the drivers that...

Stabilization of soils with nanoclay subjected to freeze-thaw cycles
As the size of the soil particles varies from 4.75 mm to 1 nm, void spaces form at the nanolevel. Due to more void spaces impacting a higher...

Influence of the physico-chemical properties of soils on floods recurrence: case of the Mbo plain (West Cameroon)
In tropical regions, the nature of soil has a considerable influence on the risk of flooding. For a flood to occur, the soil must be partially or...

Carbon content of soil fractions varies with season, rainfall, and soil fertility across a lowland tropical moist forest gradient
Tropical forests contain some of the largest soil carbon (C) stocks on Earth, making them broadly relevant to terrestrial-climate feedbacks, yet our...
