The Djibouti xeric shrublands is an ecoregion defined by One Earth, [2] consisting of a semi-desert strip on or near the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden coasts in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Somalia. This ecoregion lies mainly between sea level and 800 meters (m) elevation.

2020年9月23日 · It covers the majority of two Ethiopian Mountain massifs ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 m in elevation, with montane forest at lower altitudes and Afroalpine habitat at higher altitudes. The climate of these highlands is greatly affected by their topography, and also by the movement of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

The Ethiopian montane forests is a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion in Ethiopia. It covers the southwestern and southeastern portions of the Ethiopian Highlands. The ecoregion includes distinctive Afromontane evergreen forests. The ecoregion's biodiversity is threatened by deforestation, conversion to agriculture, and overgrazing. [2]

The higher elevations support conifers such as podocarpus and Juniperus species. The peaks (Afroalpine ecosystem) support Erica species, grasslands, and herb layer and are mainly characterized by giant Lobelia species. Details on ...

The original climax vegetation on the montane grassland of Ethiopia was supposed to be a dry evergreen montane forest intermingled with small areas of grassland (Zerihun Woldu, 1988). According to White (1983), the montane grassland of Ethiopia is a derived vegetation type, although small areas of the grassland may have existed before human ...
