Congo Vegetation

This resource provides a comprehensive analysis of various vegetation types in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), including flooded forests, semi-deciduous forests, and savannas. It incorporates diverse data sources, including satellite imagery and vegetation maps from the University of Maryland and other references dating back to 1958. The focus is on understanding land cover characteristics and monitoring seasonal forest ecosystems. Key resources detail the phyto-geography and vegetation classifications used for ecological assessment and land management in Central Africa.
