| dc.description |
This book represents Volume 4 in a seven-volume series that documents
the potential natural vegetation map that was developed by the VECEA
(Vegetation and Climate change in East Africa) project. The VECEA map
was developed as a collaborative effort that included partners from each of
the seven VECEA countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania,
Uganda and Zambia).
• In Volume 1, we present the potential natural vegetation map that
we developed for seven countries in eastern Africa. In Volume 1, we
also introduce the concept of potential natural vegetation and give
an overview of different application domains of the VECEA map.
• Volumes 2 to 5 describe potential natural vegetation types, also including
lists of the “useful tree species” that are expected to naturally
occur in each vegetation type – and therefore also expected to be
adapted to the environmental conditions where the vegetation types
are depicted to occur on the map. Volume 2 focuses on forest and
scrub forest vegetation types. Volume 3 focuses on woodland and
wooded grassland vegetation types. Volume 4 focuses on bushland
and thicket vegetation types. In Volume 5, information is given for
vegetation types that did not feature in Volumes 2 to 4 |
