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 .

The northern riverine forest is a type of forest ecology most dominant along waterways in the northeastern and north central United States and bordering areas of Canada . Key species include willow , elm , American sycamore , and Populus sect. Aegiros cottonwood . One of the distinct ecosystems is the Riverine Forest. These are found on the lower flood plains along the rivers edge. The main species found here is one of the deciduous species the Balsam Poplar. These trees like a high volume of moisture and are able to tolerate flooding. They are distinguishable by their thick, gnarly bark and their larger, pointed leaves. These leaves have a distinct drip tip. The trees supply homes for the many native species of fauna. References Kricher, John. A Field Guide to Eastern Forests.
