These maps offer an unique insight in the vegetation patterns in the region. Unique because they were based on extensive field surveys, often in combination with detailed areal photography studies by experienced field botanists and vegetation scientists. These explorers were usually able to create detailed maps of entire countries, something which has become increasingly more difficult since much larger changes and fragmentation of natural vegetation has taken place in the decades since these maps were developed. The vegetation maps were for long periods hardly utilized outside of plant ecology circles and they became largely forgotten. A plausible explanation for the lack of interest in the vegetation maps is that during the period following the completion of the vegetation maps, there was little interest in indigenous vegetation outside of national parks and forest reserves. The main species used for e.g. industrial forest plantations and social forestry woodlots were the species that had been established by the forestry services during the colonial era – mainly Central American Pinus and Australian EuItem Potential Natural Vegetation Of Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda And Zambia) : Volume 5: Description And Tree Species Composition For Other Potential Natural Vegetation(2010-12) Kindt, Roeland; Lillesø, J.P.

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). • In Volume 1, we present the potential natural vegetation map that we developed for seven countries in eastern Africa. In Volume 1, we also introduce the concept of potential natural vegetation and give an overview of different application domains of the VECEA map. • Volumes 2 to 5 describe potential natural vegetation types, also 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 where the vegetation typesItem Potential Natural Vegetation of Eastern Africa Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
