Lake Victoria transitional rain forest (Ff)

Description

White (1983) describes two types of Lake Victoria transitional rain forest: (i) transitional rain forests occurring between 1600 and 1900 m in western Burundi, western Rwanda and eastern Kivu (DRC); and (ii) Kakamega forest in Kenya (1520 to 1680 m). Kakamega forest is described as containing a mixture of Guineo-Congolian lowland rain forest species (that reach their eastern-most limits in distribution in Kakamega forest) and Afromontane species, but containing fewer Afromontane species than the other Lake Victoria transitional rain forests (White 1983 p. 181).

Plant species

The main species recorded to occur within this vegetation type are listed below. Clicking the name of any of these species will open the page for that species on the Agroforestry Species Switchboard. Between brackets the English vernacular name of the species and the documented country distribution of the species (B=Burundi, E=Ethiopia, K=Kenya, M=Malawi, R=Rwanda, T=Tanzania, U=Uganda, Z=Zambia) is provided.

Based on information on species presence in national manifestations of vegetation types, each species was classified as a regionally dominant, characteristic, present or marginal species for a vegetation type (Read more ...)
