Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Vegetation Map of Africa is a compendium of various existing map sources for different regions/countries, which were integrated and synthesized by the AETFAT committeee responsible for creating the map (headed by Dr.
Description
F. White of Oxford University, UK). The first draft of the map was checked by extensive fieldwork and discussions with local experts.
The vegetation classification used is the UNESCO standard based on physiognomy and floristic composition (not climate), and it includes a total of 80 major vegetation types and mosaics. Water is added as category 81 in the GRID legend for the digital map.
