The African savanna is a vast, rolling grassland primarily found in the southeastern part of the continent. It is a tertiary ecosystem, meaning that it is found between tropical and desert landscapes, featuring mainly shrubs and isolated trees. Although plantlife in the savannais mainly re...
Phenology of African savannas is considered to have high temporal variability, yet few studies have quantified this variation between seasons. This study assessed the weekly green-up phenology of trees, as well as below- and between-canopy grasses in a broad-leaved savanna woodland in the Nylsv...
The African Continent has various habitat types, but savanna (热带草原) ecosystems cover approximately half. And where there is savanna, there is fire. "It's an important part of the ecology of the system," says University of Liverpool ecologist James R Probert. Burning allows grasses to take...
Part of the book series: Landscape Series ((LAEC,volume 30)) 1033 Accesses Abstract Referring to the manifold studies and the long-term experiences of the restoration of near-natural ecosystems and traditional land-use types, respectively, examples from all over the world are outlined. Additional...
One of the most widely distributed trees across Africa, the umbrella thorn (Acacia tortilis) grows well in arid regions across the savanna and seasonally moist deserts into the Middle East, too.
The tropical rainforest, savanna, grassland, and river habitats of Gabon are home to many types of unique wildlife. Western lowland gorillas, hippopotamus, and leopards are some of Gabon’s most notable animals. Some of the other interesting animals in this African country include buffalo, leopard...

The Shannon diversity index decreased from 3.35 ± 0.57 bits in 2004 to 1.98 ± 0.73 bits in 2014. The average density of dbh trees ≥ 10 cm decreased from 740.37 ± 269 , 86 stems / ha in 2004 to 184 ± 100 stems / ha in 2014. The results of the 5% sample matched t-test ...
Assessing the response of plant functional types to climatic change in tropical forests We propose and test a classification of plant functional types for tropical trees based on demography, growth form, phenology, and moisture requirements, u...

Characteristics of cats include retractable claws, sharp teeth, powerful jaws, good night vision and acute hearing. Cats are highly agile and often hunt by stealth, creeping close to their prey before pouncing. Many types of wild cats are proficient climbers, often entering trees in order to res...
