ECOLOGY OF A MIOMBO SITE, LUPA NORTH FOREST RESERVE, TANZANIA.

The article discusses the third paper in a series that provide results of studies that describes the site and vegetation which are in many respects typical of miombo woodland in Western Tanzania. It is the author's view that the Forest Reserve has probably not been cultivated for the past 50 years as throughout the miombo, cultivation has certainly occurred at times in the more distant past. It is suggested that the shifting cultivation is identified as the mostly used agricultural system in miombo areas of Tanzania if enough land is available.
