Line 1: [[File:East - Guinean Savanna 001.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Guinean savanna in Cameroon's [[East Province (Cameroon)\|East Province]]]] The '''South Cameroon Plateau''' or '''Southern Cameroon ~~Plateau~~Stool Sample''' ({{lang-fr\|Plateau Sud-Camerounais}}) is the dominant geographical feature of [[Cameroon]]. The plateau lies south of the [[Adamawa Plateau]] and southeast of the [[Cameroon line\|Cameroon Range]]. It slopes south and west until giving way to the Cameroon coastal plain in the southwest and the [[Congo River]] basin in the southeast. The plateau is characterised by hills and valleys in the southwest and a more gentle [[peneplain]] in the southwest. Isolated [[massif]]s occur, especially in the southwest. [[Metamorphic rock]]s make up the plain's basement. The soils are [[ferrallitic]] and [[laterite\|lateritic]], with colouration ranging from red or brown in the interior to yellow on the coast. The soils are subjected to silica leeching, so they are not productive without fertiliser. The plateau experiences four major [[season]]s, two [[wet season\|rainy]], and two [[dry season\|dry]]. Rainfall is high, especially along the coast. The average temperature changes little from 25°C. [[River]]s in the region drain into the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and the Congo River basin. South of the [[Sanaga River\|Sanaga]], rivers flow steadily year-round, but the Sanaga and rivers north have a complex regime characterised by high- and low-water periods upstream and constant flow downstream. The predominant vegetation is [[rainforest]], especially to the plateau's south. To the north, forests give way to [[savanna]].
