Afromontane areas have a wide range of plant communities, including intermediate types. These include: Afromontane rain forest. Afromontane rain forest is found on wetter slopes from southern Ethiopia to Malawi, mostly between 1200 and 2500 meters elevation. It occurs on wetter slopes where average annual rainfall is from 1250 to 2500 mm, or ...
The Afromontane sub-ecozone is a phytogeography distribution term for the plant species and their natural habitats in the mountains of sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula — within the larger Afrotropical realm. Afromontane ecoregions are found in the following biomes: Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests
This forest ecosystem is a subtype of the general Afromontane forest, which can be found across Africa as far north as Ethiopia.However, it is distinguished from other types of forests in Southern Africa by its relatively distinct range of species and its being confined to the far south-western tip of Africa – separated from the other forested areas to the east and north.
Former ecoregion boundaries as defined by the WWF (2001) In the 1983 Vegetation Map of Africa, Frank White identified three vegetation types in the Ethiopian highlands – "Evergreen and semi-evergreen bushland and thicket - East African" from 1000 to 1800 meters elevation, "Undifferentiated montane vegetation (A) Afromontane" from 1,800 to about 3800 meters elevation, and "Altimontane ...
Afromontane rain forest is a closed-canopy rain forest, similar in structure and appearance to some lowland Guineo-Congolian forest types, but differing in species composition. Most trees are evergreen, with only a few larger tree species ( Entandrophragma excelsum and Aningeria adolfi-friederici ) losing their leaves for a few days during the ...
The montane forests of Mount Cameroon and Bioko are home to the distinct Afromontane flora of Africa's high mountains. The chief plant communities are montane forests, montane grasslands, and heathlands. At least 42 plant species are strictly endemic and another 50 near-endemic to Mount Cameroon.
