Abstract

A study carry out on carbon storage of anthropoid's vegetation on the Ngaoundere escarpment on four vegetal types (fallow, farms, shrub savanna and woody savanna) with the aim of fighting against climate change. Dendrometric data to determine phytomass and carbon storage were carried out on plot of 20m x 50m. Data analysis with the aid of soft ware programs like excel, Stat graphics plus S.O and XLSTAT showed the most anthropoid vegetation (fallow and farms) present a low production of phytomass and carbon storage as compared to natural vegetation (shrub and woody savannas). Carbon credit is proportional to the quantity of carbon storage in the different vegetation formations to alleviate the effect of human activities of the vegetation of the escarped the subvention of the local population through carbon should be encouraged.
