Palaeobotanical studies from tropical Africa: relevance to the evolution of forest, woodland and savannah biomes.
TL;DR: Fossil plants provide data on climate, community composition and structure, all of which are relevant to the definition and recognition of biomes, as documented by pollen and carbon isotopes from both West and East Africa.
Palaeobotanical studies from tropical Africa: relevance to the evolution of forest, woodland
TL;DR: The earliest known forest community in tropical Africa dates to 46 Myr ago in northern Tanzania, as documented by leaves and fruits from lake deposits as discussed by the authors, which was dominated by caesalpinioid legumes.

A. C. Hamilton,R. A. Perrott +1 more
TL;DR: Altitudinal changes in vegetation of the Montane Forest Belt of Mt. Elgon, East Africa, were investigated by analysis of aerial photographs and by sample plots along two transects, one on a relatively wet, and the other on relatively dry aspect as discussed by the authors.
