Name: Gabono-Congolian Mesic Woodland & Grassland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The macrogroup represents moist-climate savannas that occur west and south of the Congo Basin due to climatic fluctuations in Central Africa that over the past several thousand years have caused a succession of transitions from forest to savanna and back to forest, leaving in the process a number of fragments of savanna intermingled with humid forest. Some of these savannas might also be caused by human transformation of the forest. The climate has two wet and two dry seasons, and the mean annual rainfall varies from 1500-1800 mm with a mean temperature of 23-25°C. There are different types of savanna that are grouped in this class: treed savannas to more open savannas; some of the latter are dembos (wet meadows). Characteristic of the treed savannas is <i>Hymenocardia acida</i>. In more open types, <i>Jardinea gabonensis</i> which is joined by <i>Setaria anceps</i> in the flooded savanna (dembos).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40675-{0180030C-5835-448F-A66C-C5FFAFB4912E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
