Name: Wet Miombo Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Miombo woodland is the most widespread vegetation type of the Central African Plateau in an elevational range typically between 800 and 1200 m. It is dominated by three related genera of the Caesalpinioidea: <i>Brachystegia, Isoberlinia</i>, and <i>Julbernardia</i>. The wet miombo is distinguished from the dry by having >1000 mm (up to 1400 mm) mean annual precipitation; the dry season lasts from 5 to 7 months. Fires are part of the functional ecology of these woodlands. Woodland trees are usually 15 to 20 m tall, with a broadleaf shrub and continuous grass understory beneath.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40738-{F0AC4012-7FB6-4A10-9B64-472D7E440B46} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
