Name: Eastern African Coastal Dry Semi-Deciduous Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These dry forests occur along the coast of Eastern Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique). Clarke and Robertson (in Burgess and Clarke 2000) characterized these communities as legume-dominated (especially Cesalpinioidea) and mixed dry forests. The former with a simple vegetation structure and the latter with a more complex one and heights of up to 30 m. Dominant genera of legume-dominated dry forest are <i>Cynometra, Scorodophloeus, Julbernardia, Guibourtia, Hymenaea, Berlinia</i>, and <i>Erythrophleum</i>. Characteristic species of mixed dry forests are <i>Milicia excelsa, Newtonia buchananii, Terminalia sambesiaca</i>, and <i>Sterculia appendiculata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40743-{13A9DC5F-F6B0-460F-9A0F-8EE1295D95E2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
