    Notes:
    Abstract Four Cameroonian populations were studied for a large set of anthropometric measurements. Three groups live in the forest (two Bantuspeaking, and one pygmoid tribe) and the fourth one in the savanna plateau. Multivariate analysis of the morphological features showed that the two Bantu groups have very similar body morphology. This is interpreted to be a result of common genetic origin and of the fact that they inhabit the same environment Whereas the Pygmoids segregate apart. The savanna dwellers are morphologically equidistant from the two former groups, and when compared to other savanna peoples living in Burkina-Faso, are seen to be more similar to forest populations. Some climatic influences can be identified, mainly on limb proportions and nose and face dimensions. They seem to play a larger part in body differentiation than do nutritional and/or pathological conditions. Differences between the forest Bantu and the savanna-dwellers are mostly due to a shape component, whereas the Pygmoids display an overall reduction in size. Savanna highlanders also exhibit a size reduction, which results in their being more similar in shape to the Pygmies than are the other groups compared. A fruitful approach to morphological differentiation must take advantage of opportunities to compare peoples sharing the same genetic origin but having migrated to occupy contrasting environments. The hypothesis is raised that a common African stock has differentiated in contrasting ecosystems.

    Notes:
    Abstract It is now difficult to manage the semi-natural groupings of heathland because of the tendency for succession towards forest stages. Several experiments were conducted in the Hautes Fagnes region (Belgium). After the vegetation was mapped, plots were treated by mowing, burn-beating, and burning. The changing floristic composition was followed from 1972 to 1980 in permanent quadrats. Burn-beating is an excellent method of management for old heath, because it reestablishes the properties of the heath ecosystem.
