This thesis examines how evolving norms of international climate change mitigation are translated into national forest governance policies and land management techniques in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The development of administrative mechanisms to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) become a cultural script through which the institutions of the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program "prepare" the post-colonial state to be a rational producer of avoided forest carbon emissions. The two actions-building the state and stabilizing a commodifiable carbon-occur unconsciously as a process Sheila Jasanoff calls "co-production," a dialectic in which efforts to change the natural order depend on unquestioned ideas about the social order, and visa versa. As this thesis shows, instrumental goals of making carbon governable in a country bearing the heavy legacy of Belgian colonialism and the scars of the largest regional war in recent African history, run a high risk of reproducing embedded inequities found at the local level. The impacts of global climate change are expected to have especially adverse affects on subsistence communities dependent on forest resources for their daily existence. If REDD architecture would live up to its stated goal of also improving livelihoods in the non-Annex I countries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, it must engage in a more overtly "coproductionist" politics of carbon management. This means developing overt mechanisms that provide more continuous interactions between different epistemic communities in the domestic REDD countries (international experts, national administrators and local communities), linking local level institutions upward with higher scales of administration in setting the rules for carbon management, as well as strengthening community control of resources so that the decision to participate in the provisioning of global public goods can be made with more autonomy.

Full textUsing a sampling method broadly inspired from the synusial phytosociology approach, we examined plant communities within each of the forest layers composing the overstorey (canopy and emergent trees) and the understorey (shrub and herbaceous layers).
The role of edaphic heterogeneity on plant communities in the considered semi-deciduous forests was examined. We mainly focused on:
- Floristic parameters within these ecosystems;
- Spatial structure of edaphic variables;
- Species responses to edaphic heterogeneity;
- Distance decay in the considered ecosystems;
- Phylogenetic patterns within plant communities.
Some of the species found in the considered semi-deciduous forests are more related to a type of soil than another, defining some “edaphic specialists” species while many others can be considered “generalists”. Spatial distance effect in the considered plant communities is marked by a decrease of floristic similarity with the geographical distance and all the forest layers showed a pattern of spatial phylogenetic clustering meaning that species cohabiting within a same plot are more related than species from distant plots.

Full textDepuis environ une décennie, la liane indigène Sericostachys scandens Gilg & Lopr. (Amarantaceae) se répand rapidement dans les forêts de montagne au PNKB. L’extension de cette liane, et ses conséquences supposées sur la biodiversité et la régénération de la forêt inquiètent les gestionnaires du Parc.
Le travail a examiné trois aspects de l’écologie de l’invasion par S. scandens dans le Parc.
Premièrement, on a examiné les traits fonctionnels susceptibles d’expliquer une aptitude élevée à l’invasion chez S. scandens. Une approche comparative avec trois espèces de lianes non envahissantes coexistant dans le même habitat montre que S. scandens présente une allocation de biomasse aux diaspores significativement plus élevée. En plus, elle combine une reproduction sexuée intense et une capacité de reproduction végétative. Cette liane se distingue également des trois autres par un taux de ramification plus élevé. Par contre, les traits foliaires ne sont pas systématiquement différents. De même, le taux de germination des graines de S. scandens ne diffère pas significativement de ceux des autres lianes étudiées. Cependant, il est significativement plus élevé en canopée ouverte qu’en canopée fermée, et en forêt ombrophile qu’en forêt de bambous. L’ensemble des traits qui caractérisent S. scandens peut contribuer à expliquer sa plus grande capacité d’invasion, comparativement aux trois autres lianes.
Deuxièmement, on a examiné les attributs des écosystèmes susceptibles de les rendre vulnérables à l’invasion. Les résultats suggèrent que les perturbations favorisent les invasions dans les écosystèmes. Les perturbations (coupes, feu, …) qui ont accompagné les conflits dans la zone du Parc sont, très probablement, le facteur ayant déclenché l’invasion.
Enfin, le travail a examiné les impacts de l’invasion sur la biodiversité et la régénération des forêts. Les résultats montrent que, effectivement, S. scandens a un impact négatif, et que cet impact pourrait contribuer à renforcer le succès invasif de S. scandens (feed-back positif).
Le travail aboutit à des recommandations pour la gestion du Parc. La gestion doit avant tout être préventive, c’est-à-dire i) empêcher de nouveaux déboisements et ii) éliminer S. scandens au tout début de son installation dans un site perturbé.
