Applied Vegetation Science. Article First Published Online:(Wiley, 2012-12) Kindt, Roeland; Lillesø, Jens-Peter B.; Breugel, Paulo V.; Bingham, M.; Demissew, Sebsebe; Dudley, C.; Friis, I.; Gachathi, Francis; Kalema, James; Mbago, Frank; Moshi, Heriel N.; Mulumba, John W.; Namaganda, Mary; Ndangalasi, Henry J.; Ruffo, Christopher K.; Minani, Védaste; Jamnadass, Ramni H.; Graudal, LarsQuestion 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.Item Distribution and production Potential of Key non edible Vascular Plant Species of Economic Importance for Biodiesel Industry in Tanzania.(2010) Moshi, Heriel N.; Nyomora, Agnes M.

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, LarsThis 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).Item Potential Natural Vegetation of Eastern Africa Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Vol. 6: An Overview of the Methods and Material Used to Develop the Map.(Forest & Landscape Denmark, 2011) Van Breugel, P.; Kindt, R.; Lillesø, J. P. B.; Bingham, M.; Demissew, Sebsebe; Dudley, C.; Friis, I.; Gachathi, F.; Kalema, J.; Mbago, Frank; Minani, V.; Moshi, Heriel N.In the 50s to 70s of the twenties century vegetation scientists and botanists mapped the vegetation and land cover of most of eastern Africa. 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 Eucalyptus species (Evans & Turnbull 2004).Item Potential Natural Vegetation of Eastern Africa Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia: Vol. 1 - The Atlas.(2011) Lillesø, J.
