Vegetation study of Mt. Mulanje, Malawi
Mt. Mulanje has been identified as a botanically-rich biodiversity 'hot-spot' in need of protection and as a centre for plant diversity. The flora of the massif is of botanical and biogeographical importance due the number of endemics it supports.
Our client provided us with some ground truth information and within a coupple of days we provided enhanched images and a botanical classification to be linked up in a GIS for planning of detailed biodiversity surveys. The classification identified several evergreen forest types (red, orange and yellow in upper right image) and a big variation of alpine grassland to be surveyed.
