Typical representation of the understorey layer in dry and wet Miombo (IMAGE)
Caption
Typical representation of the understorey layer in dry and wet Miombo. Where ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are respectively SK1, H3 and Z1. While ‘d’, ‘e’ and ‘f’ are respectively M2, M1 and M3. These pictures illustrate how dense is the understorey layer in dry Miombo compared to wet Miombo.
Above-ground biomass (AGB) stored by the woody plants in each forest structural layer at the study sites. Only trees with a threshold of Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) ≥5 cm were included. Sites are ordered by mean annual precipitation: Kanovlei = 500–550 mm; Hamoye = 560 mm; Zambezi = 600–700 mm; Kibundu = 1200 mm; Mikembo = 1200 mm.
