Abstract: Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is cultivated in the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo in easternBrazil under the so-called 'cabruca system', where the understorey of native Atlantic forest is cleared and the canopy is thinned out to provide adequate shading for the cocoa trees. Apart from its economic and social role, the cabruca system is said to be important for the conservation of Atlantic forest biodiversity. In this paper we studied tree species richness and forest structure of cabrucas to examine the demograph… Show more

“…Production typologies along a gradient of intensification have been proposed for both coffee (Moguel and Toledo 2001) and cocoa (Somarriba and Lachenaud 2013). Intensification has negative impacts on the conservation of associated biodiversity, but despite this general trend, cocoa agroforestry systems do conserve planned (or planted) and associated (wild) biodiversity, at both the plot and landscape scales (Vandermeer 2011;Sambuichi 2006;Rolim and Chiarello 2004).…”

“…Il en est de même dans les agroforêts à cacao de l'Est du Ghana ; 116 espèces recensé par Osei-Bonsu et al (2003). Des inventaires des arbres de dbh supérieurs ou égal à 5 cm ont permis de recenser aussi plus d'espèces (105 espèces) au Sud du Brésil (Rolim et Chiarello, 2004). Cependant les plantations cacaoyères de Lakota ont des richesses comparables aux résultats des études menées au Cameroun par Jeofack et al (2013) avec 59 espèces et Laird et al (2007) avec 50 espèces.…”

“…Some forest was transformed to relatively high value eucalyptus plantations, but in one municipio with very low value land, there was substantial forest conversion to small-scale pasture and agriculture. In addition, Rolim and Chiarello (2004) report that the oldgrowth forest trees incorporated in the region's extensive cocoa agroforests are nearing the end of their lifetime and are unlikely to be replaced.…”
