Plant biodiversity, vegetation structure and provisioning services in rainforest, traditional and industrial oil palm cultivation systems in Liberia, West Africa by Cicely A. M. Marshall, Marshall M. Guahn, Tiecanna Jones, Morris T. Jah, Peter M. Hadfield, Ari Saputra, Rudy Widodo, Benedictus Freeman, William Draper, Jean‐Pierre Caliman, Edgar C. Turner, Michael D. Pashkevich

“…We assessed differences in plant biodiversity, vegetation structure and provisioning services across 54 forest, community agriculture and oil palm plots in Sinoe County, Liberia. Traditional cultivation systems have lower ecological impacts in terms of species richness, composition, canopy height and structural complexity compared with industrial production, though yields per hectare are likely to be lower. …”
