Zonal biomes of Southern Africa[electronic resource] /edited by Ladislav Mucina, Michael C. Rutherford. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xiv, 311 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm. - Biome ecology,v. 22948-1473 ;. - Biome ecology ;v. 2..

Mapping Zonal Biomes of Southern Africa: Data Sources and Methods -- Major Zonobiome and Zonoecotone Patterns in Southern Africa -- Southern African Savannas: Zonobiome E2 Tropical Seasonal Zone -- Subtropical Southern African rainforests -- Fynbos: A jewel of the Ethesial Zone -- Warm-Temperate Zonobiome: Afrotemperate Forests -- Deserts and semideserts: Zonobiome S2 Hot Arid Zone -- Drakensberg: Southern African subtropical alpine zone -- Ecotonal biomes of Southern Africa -- Southern African biomes: Caveats, perspectives, future tasks.

This book is the first comprehensive account of large-scale ecosystems (biomes) of Southern Africa (defined as area south of the Kunene and Zambezi Rivers) It addresses the diversity of biomes in one of the most biodiverse regions of the world, comprising South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, southern part of Mozambique, Eswatini, and Lesotho. It has adopted a novel, hierarchical biome-classification approach. The biomes at four levels of complexity are identified, described, and mapped using modern GIS-assisted mapping technology. The structure of the book and its comprehensive nature makes this product of prime interest to teachers and students of all tertiary education levels as well as to scientists in the fields of ecology, biodiversity science, and bioclimatology. It is poised to serve as a major reference book and handbook for the users in these scientific fields.
