Popis: The initial geometry effect on forward-backward multiplicity correlations $C(N_{f},N_{b})$ is studied in relativistic collisions between light nuclei by using a multiphase transport model (AMPT). It is found that tetrahedron $^{16}$O + $^{16}$O gives a more uniform and symmetrical fireball which produces a more isotropic distribution of final particles after the expansion and evolution, and leads to a small $C(N_{f},N_{b})$. Forward-backward multiplicity correlation could be taken as a useful probe to distinguish the pattern of $\alpha$-clustered $^{16}$O in experiments by comparing the neighboring colliding nuclear systems like $^{14}$N + $^{14}$N and $^{19}$F + $^{19}$F.
