The Kwazulu Cape coastal forestmosaic occupies the humid coastal strip between the Indian Ocean and the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains. It is part of a strip of moist coastal forests that extend along Africa s Indian Ocean coast from southern Somalia to South Africa. The northern limit of the ecoregion is at Cape St. Lucia in KwaZulu Natal , where the forests transition to the Maputaland coastal forestmosaic . The southern limit is at Cape St. Francis , east of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province , where the KwaZulu Cape forests transition to the Knysna Amatole montane forests . The ecoregion has a seasonally moist subtropical climate. Rainfall ranges from 1500 mm to 900 mm per year. The northern portion is generally receives more rainfall, typically in the summer months, while the southern portion receives most of its rainfall in the winter months, which is typical of the Mediterranean climate region to the west. Rainfall diminishes away from the coast, and the coastal forestmosaic yields to the drier Maputaland Pondoland bushland and thickets in the Drakensberg foothills, above 300 to 450 meters elevation. The ecoregion comprises a mosaic of different plant communities, including coastal belt forest, sand forest, dune forest, short, dry forests known as Alexandria forest, grasslands, palm woodlands, and thorn scrublands.

The Angolan montane forest grassland mosaic ecoregion is located on the east facing inland side of the belt of mountains that stands parallel to the coast of Angola , 50 100km inland. Location and description These inland slopes are mostly covered with grassland and savanna. The woodland once covered a much larger area but today only patches survive, mainly in deep ravines and on the higher peaks in Huambo Province Huambo and Cuanza Sul Province Cuanza Sul provinces and on the Serra da Chela in Hu la Province . The area has a wet summer and some mist and rainfall year round so water is fairly abundant though in the dry season obtainable in some places only by digging in the sandy beds of the rivers. ref http www.nationalgeographic.com wildworld profiles terrestrial at at1001.html National Geographic ref Flora In the dry season fires are common and the dry grasses burn and are then renewed. The trees are not so vulnerable to fire. The woodland flora has similarities with other mountain ranges spread across Africa. Plants on the inland ridge include the shrubs such as Erica s, sugarbushes Protea and Cliffortia s, and grasses Themeda triandra , Tristachya s, Hyparrhenia s, Festuca s, and Monocymbium . Fauna The fauna includes a number of bird species unique to the highlands such as Boulton s Batis Batis margaritae , Swierstra s Francolin Francolinus swierstra , Angola Cave chat Xenocopsychus ansorgei Grey striped Francolin Francolinus griseostriatus and Angola Slaty Flycatcher Dioptrornis brunneus . Some of these species have close relatives in other forests of the continent, more indication that this woodland was once much more widespead. The hills were home to large mammals such as zebras and antelopes until recently. Threats The highlands are one of the most heavily populated parts of Angola so the woodland is vulnerable to clearance for logging, while some of the grassland, except where it is very swampy, is being cleared for agriculture.

Ecoregion The World Wide Fund for Nature divides the Sudanian Savanna into two ecoregion s, separated by the Cameroon Highlands . The West Sudanian Savanna runs from the Atlantic Ocean to eastern Nigeria, and the East Sudanian Savanna runs from the Cameroon Highlands east to the Ethiopian Highlands . Physiographic province The Sudanian Savanna is one of the three distinct physiographic provinces of the larger African massive division. Physiography divides this province into three distinct physiographic sections, the Niger River Niger Basin , the Lake Chad Lake Chad Basin , and the Nile River Middle Nile Basin . Vegetation The Sudanian Savanna is characterized by the coexistence of trees and grasses.
