On average the north-south width of Senegal, the transition zone runs from the West African coastline in Senegal and the Gambia, through Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, and Eritrea. But exactly what is Africa's transition zone between the desert and rainforest?
Map of Africa including six selected regions. Full size image Africa's average annual precipitation is less than 700 mm year−1 and the average temperature is between 15 and 27 °C. According to87 the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) oscillation modulates the precipitation distribution in sp...
South Africa - Soil Types, Climate, Regions: South Africa contains three major soil regions. East of approximately longitude 25° E, soils have formed under wet summer and dry winter conditions; the more-important soil types there are laterite (red, leac
Malawi and Mozambique occupy a similar agroclimatological zone and both countries show overall low suitability during these months. Given the latitudinal rainfall patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, another range of months is likely more appropriate for Malawi and Mozambique. Considering that common bean is...
Even without understanding every zone and sub-zone on the map, one can get an idea of the diversity of climate that Australia possesses. There are tropics, grasslands, desert, and temperate zones all within a land area roughly the size of the United States. A climate map of Australia based...
zone is lower than that of the tropical zones, while the average temperature of the warmest months in the temperate zone is higher than that of the polar zone. In tropical and polar climates, the weather is consistent throughout the year. In temperate zones, the weather is affected by both...
Climate change impacts in the arid zone of southern Africa: emerging perspectives and projectionsMidgley, Guy FThuiller, WilfriedHughes, GregBarnard, Phoebe
Climate–land interaction over West Africa has often been assessed using climate simulations, although the model-based approach suffers from the limitations of climate models for the region. In this paper, an alternative method based on the analysis of h
Northeast China (NEC) is located at the mid latitudes of the northern hemisphere, with a typical temperate continental monsoon climate. This area has a rich composition of plant species and is sensitive to climate change. It has become a typical transect zone for global change research in the ...
