Abstract

The vegetation of the Lamto area has been studied along transects linking the gallery forest to the savanna plateau. The counting strips, 20 metres wide and 200 to 460 metres long, were subdivided into a succession of quadrats 20x20 m. In each of these quadrats trees and shrubs were counted and the grass layer sampled. Results are shown on folding pages 1 to 5. Within the study area four different types of savanna are found, grass savanna, shrub savanna, tree savanna and savanna woodland. The shrub savanna in predominant. The relationships between these vegetation types, topography and soils are discussed.
