Evaluation of the Hydrogeochemical Characteristics and Heavy Metals Contamination Levels of Shallow Groundwater in the Bafia Agricultural Area, Centre Region Cameroon. Open
Shallow groundwater is an important resource within the framework of potable, continuous, and reliable water supply in the whole of Cameroon, particularly in Bafia, where there is a limited supply of piped-borne water. Increased population…

Early anthropogenic impact on Western Central African rainforests 2,600 y ago Open
Significance Modern human societies live in strongly altered ecosystems. However, anthropogenic environmental disturbances occurred long before the industrial revolution. About 2,600 y ago, a forest–savannah mosaic replaced dense rainfores…

Plant-waxes hydrogen and carbon isotopic composition and pollen data of sediment core B14 (Lake Barombi) Open
A potential human footprint on Western Central African rainforests before the Common Era has become the focus of an ongoing controversy. Between 3,000 y ago and 2,000 y ago, regional pollen sequences indicate a replacement of mature rainfo…

Variation of hydrogeochemical characteristics of water in surface flows, shallow wells, and boreholes in the coastal city of Douala (Cameroon) Open
Groundwater is used by 3 million inhabitants in the coastal urban city of Douala, Cameroon, but comprehensive data are too sparse for it to be managed in a sustainable manner. Hence this study aimed to (1) assess the potability of the grou…
