    Question How well does the forest classification system of the 1:5,000,000 vegetation map of Africa developed by Frank White correspond with classification systems and more extensive information on species assemblages of higher resolution maps developed for Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia? Methods We reviewed various national and sub-national vegetation maps for their potential in increasing the resolution of the African map. Associated documentation was consulted to compile species assemblages, and to identify indicator species, for national forest vegetation types. Indicator species were identified for each regional forest type by selecting those species that, among all the species listed for the same phytochorion (regional centre of endemism), were listed only for that forest type. For each of the national forest types, we counted the number of indicator species of the anticipated regional type. Floristic relationships (expressed by four different ecological distance measures) among national forest types were investigated based on distance-based redundancy analysis, permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) using distance matrices and hierarchical clustering.

    Potential Natural Vegetation Of Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda And Zambia). Volume 10. Atlas And Tree Species Composition For Tanzania
    (2013-12) Lillesø, Jens-Peter B.; Breugel, Paulo V.; Kindt, Roeland; Mbago, Frank M.; Moshi, Heriel N.; Ndangalasi, Henry J.; Jamnadass, Ramni H.; Graudal, Lars
    This book represents Volume 10 in a eleven-volume series that documents the potential natural vegetation map that was developed by the VECEA (Vegetation and Climate change in East Africa) project. The VECEA map was developed as a collaborative effort that included partners from each of the seven VECEA countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia).
