Carbon stocks in shaded Theobroma cacao farms and adjacent secondary forests of similar age in Cameroon
Cacao is an important smallholder crop in West Africa, often grown under a forest canopy. Yields from cacao farms are low so farmers consider removing shade trees, however, the impacts on pest and disease dynamics, soil fertility and thus yield in the longer term are not understood. We estimated car...
