  abstract = {{T}hirty-eight samples were taken from the banks of the {S}anaga {R}iver and its main tributaries draining different plant ecosystems, but also from rivers in the coastal basins of {C}ameroon. {T}his study aims to characterize the origins of pollen and the dominant mode of transport of pollen inputs to the continental shelf. {T}he classical method of pollen spectra analysis and multivariate statistical analysis revealed three groups of samples corresponding to the three main ecosystems in which the samples were taken. {P}ollens typical of the northern savannas are found in the spectra of samples taken further downstream from the {S}anaga {R}iver in forest areas and not in samples from rivers draining mainly the forested coastal basins. {T}he level of similarity between groups and the spatial evolution of spectra from upstream to downstream are related to the fluvial transport of pollen.},
