Project Background:
Timber tree species in Ghana show differences in their natural distribution which are related to regional variation in climate (especially rainfall) and associated soil fertility.

The objective of the project is to examine the influence of drought and soil fertility on seedlings of a variety of timber tree species and to relate this to their regeneration and distribution in Ghana's forest zone.
