Abstract
Kandara is representative of the ecosystem of the forest borderline of South-East Cameroon. It is characterized by a mosaic of small forest units mingled in the savanna. A thick and complex lateritic cover made of indurated and clayey lithic groups which serve as the substratum for the vegetation. The analysis of the laterites in Kandara reveal their petrologic characteristics, their interrelations and geochemical changes. The genesis and evolution of these superficial formations could thus be defined, as well as the forest dynamics and the phytogeography. Kandara est representatif de l’ecosysteme periforestier du Sud-Est du Cameroun, caracterise par une mosaique d’unites forestieres qui s’imbriquent avec des ilots de savane. Une epaisse couverture pedologique lateritique, entite complexe ou s’harmonisent des ensembles lithiques indures et meubles, sert de support a cette vegetation. Le decryptage des formations lateritiques de Kandara revele les caracteristiques petrologiques des ensembles, leurs relations mutuelles et leurs evolutions geochimiques. Il pourrait permettre de definir les etapes de la genese et de l’evolution de ces formations superficielles, de meme que leur influence sur la dynamique forestiere et la distribution phytogeographique.
