FLD book series

The potential natural vegetation map of eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi, Zambia) is accompanied by a 11 volume series that documents the floristic, physiognomic and other characteristics of the different vegetation types, lists the woody species occurring in each vegetation type, and documents the making of the map.

Volume 1 - Introduction

Volume 1 is an atlas with the potential natural vegetation map of eastern Africa at a scale of 1:1 million. The volume furthermore introduces the concept of potential natural vegetation and presents an overview of different application domains of the Vegetationmap4africa map.

Volume 2 - Forests

A description of the forest potential natural vegetation types, 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 in areas where those vegetation types occur.
