- Observation Irvingia gabonensis had the lowest microbial population.
- Observation The total heterotrophic bacteria population had a range of 0.88x106cfu/g – 4.6x106 cfu/g.
- Observation The total heterotrophic fungi population had a range of 3.0x103 cfu/g – 15.0 x103 cfu/g.

- Observation 11 Bacteria species were identified.
- Observation 9 fungi species were identified.
- Observation Bacillus spp was the most predominant bacterium in the tree rhizosphere.
- Observation Aspergillus spp was the most predominant fungus in the tree rhizosphere.
- Observation Tectona grandis had the highest microbial diversity.
- Observation Gmelina arborea had the highest microbial diversity.
- Observation Nauclea diderrichii had the lowest microbial diversity.
- Association The five tropical tree species affected microbial community structure, with Tectona grandis having the greatest effect.
- Recommendation The authors recommend Tectona grandis for agroforestry to improve nutrient availability and sustainable agriculture.
