Research project/network focusing on the miombo woodland areas of southern and central africa.
The goals of the Miombo Network are:
- to develop a fundamental understanding of the rates and causes of land cover changes in relation to land use patterns
- to predict the consequences of land use/land cover changes on regional climate, natural resources, water resources, carbon storage and trace gas emissions
- to develop a predictive understanding of miombo woodland structure and function
- to understand determinants of distribution of species and ecosystems in the miombo
