Achille Biwole is a researcher at the University of Douala in Cameroon and also a RESSAC post-doctoral fellow at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, University of Liège in Belgium. His research focuses on the ecology and silviculture of timber species harvested in the Central Africa region. As part of the RESSAC programme, he is implementing the project titled Growth Dynamics and Ecology of Seedlings of the Main Commercial Species in Production Forests in Cameroon. The aim of this project is to document, for ten or so timber species, the key aspects that can ensure the success of their silviculture: light requirements for seedling growth in plantations, seedling parasitism, seed conservation methods, and survival and growth performance in plantations.
