In the forest zone of South-West Togo, savanna fallows turn into forest when their cultural vocation changes from heliophilous crops (cassava, bean, ...) to forest crops (coffee, palm tree...). Five stages have been recognized and described. The accustomed agriculture affects their installation and succession. The prominent part played in by some pioneer shrubs as Harungana and Margaritaria is shown.
Comparison with other studies in West Africa reveals that this evolution mainly exists in Guinean zone. First stages are usually identical but last ones often vary according to the studied region.
