Tropical savannas and associated forests: vegetation and plant ecology.

The article looks into the research about plant ecology, examines the issues of diversity, boundaries and equilibrium theories, and studies of individual species. Accordingly, Savannas typically comprise a mosaic of grass, shrub and tree components, even tracts of apparently uniform life forms are composed of significant structural and compositional differences at a local or micro-scale. Seasonally dry tropical forest (STDF) represent more than 40% of the tropical forests of the world covering Africa, Central and South America, and India. Thus, it shows that despite the numerous studies in the past decades, the sheer size of savanna areas has resulted in a sparsity of environmental and ecological data.
