Prologue

In September 2006 Missouri Botanical Garden was invited to assess the
biodiversity of the Bai Djobo for PPG on the Bateké Plateaux. Very little is
known of the forests on the Bataké Plateaux and this was the first biodiversity
assessment. Hopefully, more will follow because this assessment already had
some very surprising results.

The Bateké Plateaux
Bateké Plateaux in the south-east with its undulating
prairies is an exception to the rule in the heavily forested
Gabon. The Bateké Plateaux is part of the larger forest-
savannah mosaic which stretches all along the south flank of
the Central African rain forest. Typical for these savannah
which wedge into the forest is their superposition on sands
from the Tertiary (40-23Myrs ago).
Bateké Plateaux was then one large dune landscape, like
a large desert. But these sands do not necessarily have to be
associated with desert conditions in the past. Similar dune
landscapes exist within the Amazon. The sand which forms
the beaches along the Ogooué and Gabonese coast may very

The savannahs on the Plateaux and the forest restricted
along rivers and streams show that this is an arid
ecosystem, but which is not explained by the lack of
rainfall (mean annual). Rainfall over Gabon shows that
the Bateké Plateaux receives more rainfall than most of
northern interior of Gabon (see above) but which is
covered by rainforest whereas the Bateké Plateaux is not.
The dominance of the savannahs is explained by the

Djobo (encircled in yellow).
One of the reasons why the savannahs dominate is also
because of burning which impedes forest colonization. The large Massif du Chaillu forest is
situated west of the Plateaux and it looks like it is slowly encroaching, comparing the national
maps from the 60’s and 70’s and recent maps (Mayaux et al. 2003). Forest colonization
typically occurs first along rivers and streams and slowly as patches of savannahs become
enclosed by gallery forest it may expand patch wise. In Lopé for instance these patches are
colonized by Okoumé (Aucoumea klaineana). Okoumé also occurs in on the Plateaux, but its
role is not known.

Bai Djobo
Bai Djobo is situated inside the eastern
section of the Massif du Chaillu forest
block close with the western edge of
Bateké savannah. Through the bai there
flows a stream to the south west. A first
preliminary observation is that the
herbs and grasses present in Bai Djobo
are also found in Langoué Bai in
Ivindo NP a few 100 km away.
The forest around the bai is full
grown undisturbed forest. The effect of

composition of the forest is small as the
area around the bai is basically flat. In hilly or mountainous areas transects are places at
different altitudes along the slope and summit. With this setting general forest ecology
assumes a gradient in species composition from the drier edge of the forest in the west to the
wetter interior in the forest to the east. A second gradient is from the edge of the bai away
from the bai. By placing transects around the bai (Tr48, Tr50), close to the savannah
(Tr51,Tr52) and away from the savannah (Tr47, Tr49) it can be determined which
environmental factors are strongest and if the general assumptions are right altogether.

distant e.g. Tr50 and Tr48.


Methods
The transects used to record species composition were 200 m long and 5 m wide. Every individual with a
diameter at breast height (dbh) of 5 cm and greater was recorded and identified or vouchered for identification in
the herbarium of Libreville. Often voucher specimens were without flowers or fruits in which case species were
identified only on sterile e.g. leaf characteristics. Such identifications are less confident and revered to as
morpho-species. Similarity between the transects was calculated by using the Sørensen index.
Sørensen index is S12/[0.5(S1+S2)] where S12 is the number of shared species between two transects and S1 is the
total number of species in transect 1 and similarly S2.

Results
General characteristics
The total recorded species was 171 species. On average 52 species were present on a transect
and differences between transects were low. The highest score was 56 species on Tr48 and the
lowest 46 species on Tr47. Species restricted to a single transect (endemic) varied between 10
(21.7%) and 24 (46.2%). The number of trees on a transect was in general lower east of the
bai close to the savannah than west of the bai towards the interior, 113 and 126 on average,
respectively. Alpha-diversity varied between 28.9 and 38.5 with higher values for the
transects closer to the savannah.

Similarity
The cladogram (see above) shows a split in species composition between the transects east
and west of the bai. The transects east of the bai are more similar, and so the transects on the
west side. The two transects most dissimilar are close to the bai, i.e. Tr48 and Tr50. On the
west side the transects furthest away from the bai (Tr49, Tr47) show a higher similarity with
each other than with the transect close to the bai on the same side (Tr48). This is also
observed east side of the bai. Tr51 and Tr52 have a more similar species composition than
Tr50.

Discussion
The cladogram clearly shows that species composition on either side of the Jobo stream is
very different with the largest difference on opposite banks. This was not at all expected from
applying general forest ecology. In the Lopé forest savannah mosaic, for instance, the
riverside or riverine forest has a fairly constant species composition and only changes away
from the stream. The difference in species composition on both sides is clearly illustrated by
the distribution of Okoumé (Aucoumea klaineana) which was near absent the right side of the
stream close to the savannah and clearly present on the right side towards the interior.
The distribution of Okoumé gives insight in to the history of the forest around the bai.
Okoumé does not germinate under a closed canopy and in Lopé it is a typical savannah
colonizer. The forest close the savannah has been colonized some hundred years ago, judging
from the large size of the Okoumé trees. On the national map there is an enclosed patch of
savannah to the north. This patch extended much further south in the past judging from the
presence of old Okoumé trees in the forest close to the bai.
In terms of species richness and (alpha-) diversity the transects around Djobo Bai are
neither exceptionally rich nor poor. For the site it is interesting to observe that this site being
at the very edge of the Gabonese rain forest is still richer than other sites situated within the
forest block. Some of the poorer sites were situated in so-called Pleistocene forest refugia,
these were climatically stable forests during the last ice age. The relative high number of
Caesalpinioideae, like Bikinia pellegrinii (hight lighted in yellow in the appendix) is a strong
indication that some parts of this forest are old, because these species disperse very slowly.
This means that forest so-called micro refugia persisted on the Bateké Plateaux.




General collecting
In between doing the transects plants flowing and fruiting were
collected also to obtain more information on plant biodiversity in
general. Botanically the Plateaux is still fairly unknown, as was
confirmed recently with finds of a few rare grass species and 2 new
records collected by Gretchen Walters. The MBG field team
identified the collected specimens (see Appendix) among the
specimens collected is probably a new species of Calvoa and there is
the pygmy version of Rinorea batesii. For the former flowers need
to be collected to describe it properly.
