Known as "a dream place for scientists," the Lamto savannas, located on the edge of
the Cote d'Ivoire rain forests, are one of the only savannas in the world where ongoing
ecological research has endured for more than forty years. Drawing from and synthesizing
this abundance of research, the book examines the structure, functioning, and dynamics
of the Lamto humid savanna. Beginning with the history of the Lamto ecology station
and an overview of the major environmental conditions of the site, this exacting work
specifically examines the integrative view of energy and nutrient fluxes relative
to the dynamics of the savanna's vegetation
