Degradation of the savannah region contributes indirectly to climatic changes. In order to come across the impacts of anthropogenic actions on the herbaceous stratum, a carbon stock estimation study was conducted in the Sahelian savannah of Cameroon. Herbaceous inventories were carried out in each plant formation and also in each transect demarcated from refugee sites. These inventories were carried out in a 10 m x 10 m plot. 5 circles with a radius of one (01) meter were delimited with a (01) ribbon in this quadrat. After data analysis in a laboratory, the wooded savannah (2.44±3.70 t/ha) shows the greatest amount of herbaceous biomass followed by the forest gallery (1.81±2.47 t/ha). The presence of a large quantity of carbon influence the locality of Zamay (0.54±0.10 tC/ha), meanwhile the village of Minawao present a very small quantity (0.23±0.11 tC/ha), where the refugees are settled. The impacts of the refugees are greater on carbon sequestration than those of the local populations. This study contributes to the understanding of carbon sequestration on the savannah region. To strengthen the potential of the herbaceous plants in this ecosystem are needed to minimize its degradation so that it can be a sustainable source of carbon stored by herbaceous.
