Mopane Basalt Shrubland

description Mopane Basalt Shrubland Overview

Mopane Basalt Shrubland is a savanna ecosystem in South Africa's lowveld, where the tree and shrub species Colophospermum mopane forms a dense woody layer. It grows on nutrient-rich clay soils derived from basalt, a geological setting that separates it from lowveld communities on sandier substrates. The vegetation type is defined by the interaction of its dominant plant, soil parent material, and savanna structure.
