Soil and vegetation

 

Soil and vegetation

The area is composed of undulating high and low lands with many rocks and gravels due to volcanic eruptions. The soil type consists of basalts and is as a result of the first volcanic activity in the Fako Mountain area which occurred in the Cretaceous system. These soils have been weathered and partly covered by more recent deposits; thus, the soils are black and these areas are well drained due to the generally hilly nature of the terrain and the fact that they are free-draining.

The soil is very rich in nutrients and allows the cultivation of various crops such as tomatoes, cabbage, okro, pepper, corn, cocoyam, yams, cassava, plantains, beans, vegetables and even some 228cash crops such as palm trees, cocoa and bananas. The soil and climate are very supportive of vegetation and agriculture though in some areas digging is difficult due to the cruel nature of the rocks.

 The vegetation is generally green almost throughout the year with fewer trees in areas of high concentration of houses. It is rare to move 200m without spotting green grass, shrubs, and fruit trees.

Some parts of the mountain slopes have rare species of plants and animal found nowhere else in the world such as the unique medicinal.

 

Relief and geology

Buea is characterized with a situation at an elevation of 3000 that (900 meters) above sea level and is located on the south east slope of mount Cameroon volcanic craters on mount Cameroon Buea is characterize with high land producing igneous rocks which are good for crop production especially market gardening. Igneous rocks are form from the solidification of molten rock material. Some form below earth’s surface. The geology nature of Buea is characterize mostly by igneous rock.
