Heterogeneous landscape of Congo basin appear at the same time, as reason of poverty and one opportunity for stimulate forest dynamic, restauration of forest covert and sols and reinforcement of ecosystemics goods and services. One research upon study of forest dynamic in this basin was carried in objective sample at Bombo Lumene by forest inventory. Analysis of results by modelisation reveled: - progressive tranformation of ecology conditions complexity of herbaceous settlements towards the one of forest influenced by migration of pioneers species; - forest natural regeneration attested by seedings and start-up and differents process of forest reconstitution. She came allowed conclude that one good management will allow restauration of forest capable of doing establish sane hearth of environment and of population.
Climate change, demography increase and human activity drive at transformation of landscape ancient forest of Congo pool. This dynamic that know system ecology of different organizations levels are at basis of heterogeneity of this landscape. The literature point to Geographic Information System produce result of right quality in this domain. Data of floristic inventory draw up at edge forest-herbaceous formation of Bombo Lumene eco-complex system tested by Model LIFOSA-17 revealed a tendency in favor of forest, evolution of settlement complexity towards forest conditions and forest natural regeneration. Lasting management will’ allow a return at state of reference initial of this forest.
Results of survey by interview carried out in objective sample at Bombo Lumene revealed basic human activity of forest dynamic of this eco-complex system and official who scatter seeds. Bush fire and fact dear of trees are principals’ activity. Eco-physiology characteristics of species, wind, presence of birds and mammals are elements who go to cap take sth into account. Good management and respect of regulation of this place of interest will allow progress dynamic of forest.
The study of landscape management conducted in the surroundings of Kinshasa confirms the degradation of the herbaceous formation. The results of forest inventories and ethnoscience surveys carried out on an objective sample of 60 plots and among 125 households reveal significant percentages at the political, ecological, and environmental levels, as well as a very severe degradation index at the ecosystem level. This constitutes evidence of poor management of this formation. The causes of this degradation are linked to management options that give less importance to the ecosystem and its resources.
