Biogeography and ecology of the rain forests of eastern Africa:
Eastern African rain forests are remarkable in their high level of endemism. Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean temperatures maintained a region of...

| Zusammenfassung: | Eastern African rain forests are remarkable in their high level of endemism. Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean temperatures maintained a region of high rainfall throughout Pleistocene droughts that devastated forest elsewhere on the continent. Relics of the former Pan-African rain forest survived here, the study of which provides a unique insight into tropical evolutionary processes. This book brings together research on the animals, plants and geography of this intriguing residual forest, and highlights the need for effective management practices to conserve its exceptional biodiversity in the face of increasing pressure for land for cultivation |

Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean temperatures maintained a region of high rainfall throughout Pleistocene droughts that devastated forest elsewhere on the continent. Relics of the former Pan-African rain forest survived here, the study of which provides a unique insight into tropical evolutionary processes. This book brings together research on the animals, plants and geography of this intriguing residual forest, and highlights the need for effective management practices to conserve its exceptional biodiversity in the face of increasing pressure for land for cultivation Rain forest ecology / Africa, Eastern Rain forest animals / Africa, Eastern Rain forest plants / Africa, Eastern Rain forests / Africa, Eastern Rain forest animals / Africa, Eastern / Geographical distribution Rain forest plants / Africa, Eastern / Geographical distribution Regenwald (DE-588)4131965-5 gnd rswk-swf Tropischer Regenwald (DE-588)4061016-0 gnd rswk-swf Biogeografie (DE-588)4006801-8 gnd rswk-swf Ökologie (DE-588)4043207-5 gnd rswk-swf Ostafrika (DE-588)4075722-5 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Ostafrika (DE-588)4075722-5 g Regenwald (DE-588)4131965-5 s Biogeografie (DE-588)4006801-8 s Ökologie (DE-588)4043207-5 s 2\p DE-604 Tropischer Regenwald (DE-588)4061016-0 s 3\p DE-604 4\p DE-604 Lovett, Jon edt Wasser, Samuel K. edt Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-06898-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-43083-8 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511895692 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
