The variation in the productivity (biomass and wood volume) and sequestered carbon of savannas was monitored in Manzozi, Bas-Congo province (Kongo-central) in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sixteen plots of one hectare each have been set up, eight of which were in the protected savannah and eight in ones subject to fires. The study was limited to ligneous trees and shrubs. The savannah put in defenses is richer in volume of wood (3.6 m/ha against 7.8 m/ha); biomass (29.8 t/ha vs. 8.2) and carbon (14.9 t/ha versus 4.1) than that under fire.
