ABSTRACT: The southern forest
ecosystem of Cameroon extends from latitude 2° to 6°N and from 10° to 16°E. In
order to investigate about the influence of climate factors on the
infrastructures, the main parameters of local climate of that ecosystem have
been evaluated. The results show that, the factors are stable and have a common
trend. But, the abundance of precipitations; the important hydrographic network
and the presence of dense forest appear as the majors climatic constraints that
may be taken in account to ensure the stability of the infrastructures in
forest ecosystem.
