ABSTRACT: A study of the typology of soils and floristic
diversity was carried out in the forest of the “Cité Scientifique” of
Brazzaville. The study aimed to assess the influence of soil cover on the
distribution of taxa. The study covers 18 plots of 625 m2 each,
distributed in different soil profiles. The floristic inventory concerns the
measurement of diameter of trees with dbh ≥ 10 cm and the counting of
herbaceous and shrubs of dbh are less prone to soil
properties.
