The role of land tenure in conservation of tree and shrub species diversity in miombo woodlands of southern Malawi

2007-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Biodiversity is declining throughout southern African miombo woodlands due to poor land use practices that are detrimental to soil, vegetation and habitat. We aimed at examining tree and shrub species diversity and distribution in Uapaca kirkiana-dominated woodlands under three land tenure types; forest reserves, customary and leasehold land. The study was conducted at different forest sites within similar agroeco...
