Where are miombo woodlands found in Southern Africa?

In Southern Africa, miombo woodlands—also referred to as miombo forest—are primarily found in the northern parts of the region. These savanna woodlands are characterized by a semicontinuous tree cover dominated by leguminous trees, particularly those of the Brachystegia and Julbernardia genera, which often feature fire-resistant, corky bark.123

While miombo is a defining feature of the plateau landscapes in countries like Zambia, it is part of a broader ecological pattern across the region where vegetation varies from these northern woodlands to drier woodland types, arid grasslands, and scrublands as one moves southward.13
