Miombo woodland (Wm)
Description
Miombo woodland is floristically and physiognomically very different from other types of woodland. It is nearly always dominated by species of Brachystegia, either alone or with Isoberlinia angolensis, Julbernardia globiflora or Julbernardia paniculata. Most miombo woodlands are semi-deciduous, but some are completely deciduous and some are almost evergreen (White 1983 pp. 92 - 93). There is a marked flush of new leaves (of flaming reds, salmons, pinks and coppery tinges of all hues) just before the rains, a time during which miombo woodlands become especially beautiful (Burtt et al. 1942; Lind and Morrison 1974 p. 83).
Miombo woodland is the prevalent vegetation throughout the greater part of the Zambezian region, especially on the main plateau and its flanking escarpments. Whereas some authors (including White 1983) expected that, on moister and deeper soils in higher rainfall areas, miombo had replaced Zambezian dry evergreen forest (Fm), the interpretation that all these areas previously supported Zambezian dry evergreen forest (Fm) is not generally accepted (P. Smith and J. Timberlake, pers. comm.).
In the VECEA map, we mapped four subtypes of Miombo woodland separately: Drier Miombo woodland (Wmd); Wetter Miombo woodland (Wmw); Miombo woodland on hills and rocky outcrops (Wmr), and Zanzibar-Inhambane transition woodland (Wmt).

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 ...)
- Dominant - if the regional documentation classified the species as dominant.
- Characteristic - if the species was documented to be characteristic for at least half of all the national manifestations of the vegetation type and if the species was characteristic in at least two national manifestations of the vegetation type. Species were always classified as characteristic if the species was a regional indicator or regional characteristic species for the vegetation type.
- Present - if the species was documented to be characteristic in at least one of the national manifestations of the vegetation type or if the species was documented to be present in a least half of all the national manifestations of the vegetation type. Species that were already listed as characteristic were excluded.
- Marginal distribution - if some of the national documentation listed the species, but where the species was not included as characteristic or present.
