Tropical forestry, rattan systems, fuelwood, and multi-strata agroforestry
Kwame Oyelaran is a forestry research scientist focused on case-based evaluation of timber, rattan, fuelwood, and multi-strata farm systems. He reconstructs management histories from plots, trade records, and voucher-linked species lists, then tests claims against growth, regeneration, and livelihood evidence. His U.S. graduate training and West African fieldwork inform rigorous comparisons with Southeast Asian agroforestry systems.
