Abstract: The forests along the Great Rift Valley in Kenya are unique as green islands in dry land and extend
from southern Ethiopia to Tanzania. These forests include Afromontane and dry-tropical forests, studied in Kenya by
Bussmann and Beck, and in southern Ethiopia by Bussmann. Two taxonomical classes (Ocotetea usambarensis in moist
climate and Juniperetea procerae at a dry site) were described prior to our phytosociological studies, which were carried
out on the east and west sides of the Great Rift Valley in 2006-2014, and results were compared with Bussmann's
outcome from the 1990’s. New results are presented in this paper: 1) Forests remain on the west side above 2000 m and
are characterized by Ocotea kenyensis (Lauraceae); these are different from the moist Afromontane forest at an eastern
site (Ocotetea usambarensis) next to the Rift Valley. Four months with > 100 mm rainfall occur from March or April to
August or September. 2) At 1300-2200 m at the eastern site, there are unique dry forests characterized by Brachylaena
huilliensis (Compositae), Warburgia ugandensis (Canellaceae), Elaeodendron buchananii (Celastraceae), Vepris
trichocarpa (Rutaceae), Calodendrum capense, etc. Some of these are unique species and extend to the rainforest in
South Africa. 3) Higher-altitude forests at the eastern site are characterized by Podocarpus latifolius and Juniperus
procera, which belong to the Juniperetea procerae. Podocarpus latifolius forests occur at the western site, but these are
different from those at the eastern site. 4) The forests of the isolated northern mountains Marsabit and Kulal are
different; there is no Podocarpus or Juniperus, and higher moisture permits hanging Usnea usneoides to occur at
Marsabit. 5) The forest area of Kenya was potentially 12%, and remnant natural forests only cover 1.9%. This small
area permits various forest types along a moisture gradient. 6) Several woody and fern genera of the Afromontane
forests are common to tropical montane and subtropical forests in Asia, including Podocarpus, Juniperus, Myrsine,
Rapanea, Psychotria, Rumohra, Asplenium, Pteris, and Dryopteris. 7) Our and Bussmann's classifications are not the
same at the association or community level. There is thus the question whether the 1990s data were from a quite
different area or whether some vegetation disappeared due to human or wildlife affects.
Keywords: Afromontane forests, dry montane forests, new syntaxa, phytosociological study, tropical dry
forests.
Plant names: Turill et al. (1952-2006); Knox et al. (1994).
Introduction
Phytosociological study of forests in Kenya was carried out in great detail by Bussmann and
Beck [5] and by Bussmann [4]. The present authors took new vegetation data in 2006-2014, for
understanding Kenyan forests, for restoration of natural forests in degraded areas, and for scientific
interest in similar genera occurring in subtropical laurel forests in Asia and Afromontane forests in

eastern Africa. Africa separated from Gondwana as the supercontinent split up in the middle
Mesozoic era. The Great Rift Valley resulted from this tectonic separation, accompanied by
volcanic activity [36, 43], Nowadays, remaining natural forests cover only 1.9% of the total area of
Kenya [40]. With such small areas of remnant natural forests, it is difficult to find good natural
forests and to describe their species composition for the future. We looked for natural forests with
less human impact (e.g. livestock) and less disturbance by wildlife, which overpopulates some
forest areas. Forests in Kenya were described by White [42] and Bussman & Beck [5] as: 1)
Savanna with Acacia on lower and dry sites; 2) tropical dry forests with evergreen and semi-
evergreen bushland and thicket on the middle slopes; 3) Afromontane moist forest and dry conifer
forests; 4) Hagenia forest at timberline; and 5) ericaceous scrub above timberline. In this paper we
tried: 1) to clarify the forest types of Kenya and compare with data from Bussmann and Beck [5]
and Bussmann [4]; 2) to understand characteristics of tropical dry forests and Afromontane forests,
especially evergreen and semi-evergreen forests; and 3) to understand differences of Kenyan forest
types on the east and west sides of the Great Rift Valley.
Material and Method
Study area
The study area is from 1230 m to 3405 m altitude, from 2º40’00.1” N to 1º53’48.8” S
latitude and from 38º00’01.11” to 35º52’01.2” E longitude, along the Great Rift Valley of western
Kenya (Fig. 1, Table 1 in Appendix). We used climate data from the world climate database of E.O.
Box (University of Georgia, USA). The climates of the study sites are dry tropical and moist
mountain climates, with 604-1165 mm precipitation except at the mountain tops, where
precipitation reaches 1200-2000 mm (see Figure 1; [4], cf. [9]); there are one or two drier seasons
per year. The mean temperature is 16 to 23ºC and the temperature of the coldest month is
sometimes below freezing at 2800 m in Mau. A drier climate occurs in the eastern lower hills of the
Great Rift Valley.
The topography of the Great Rift Valley area involves continuous hilly area at the western
site and solitary mountains such as Mt. Kenya, Mt. Marsabit and Mt. Kural, plus hills of the
Mattews Range, the Karrissa and Loita Hills, Karura and Ngong. Various rock types underlie these
areas, but granite and volcanic rocks are the main substrates. The main soil types are Vertisols,
Regosols, Lithosols and Cambisols on the plains, with humic Nitisols and Acrisols on the base
substrates, volcanic areas on the mountain slopes, and deep humic Andosols above about 2700 m
[4, 30, 31, 32, 37].
Vegetation survey
The vegetation survey was carried out in 2006-2014, based on Braun-Blanquet and Fujiwara
[1, 10]. Forest description involved: 1) selecting homogeneous sites with less human impact, as by
livestock or illegal cutting; and, 2) describing the species composition in four or five forest layers
(estimating by height and density) and assigning cover and occurrence frequency. Environmental
variables recorded include elevation, slope, aspect and inclination, etc. (Table 2 in Appendix) and
vegetation profiles.
Data analysis
The classification of plant communities was carried out by Braun-Blanquet methodology.
Data from Bussmann and Beck [5] and Bussmann [4] were added into the synoptic table
FOREST TYPES AND BIODIVERSITY AROUND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY… 145
and compared, but environmental data are missing for the Bussmann sites.
De-trended Correspondence Analysis (DCCA, PC-CORD version 4.25) was used to analyze
the relationship between plant communities and environmental variables, using the middle values of
cover-abundance on the Braun-Blanquet scale. Elevation, slope, minimum temperature of coldest
months, precipitation, latitude, longitude, and times of drier periods in a year, from the authors'
relevé data, were selected as the main variables to represent environmental conditions.
Fig. 1: Average annual rainfall and temperature in Kenya.
Results
The results consist mainly of a phytosociological summary. Here we discuss the
characteristic distribution of tropical dry forests and Afromontane forests. Therefore a new
syntaxonomical classification is attempted, as a basis for discussion.
I. Tropical dry forests
Tropical dry forests in Kenya were described by several authors [41, 23, 5, 4, 16]. The main
canopy species of Kenyan tropical dry forests are Croton megalocarpus, Celtis africana,
Fagaropsis angolensis, Calodendrum capense, Grewia similis, and Euclea divinorum. These
146 K. FUJIWARA, T. FURUKAWA, S. KIBOI, S. MATHENGE, P. MUTISO,
H. HAYASHI, SHIN-ICHI MEGURO
species are common from Mt. Marsabit and Mt. Kulal (northern Kenya) to the Loita Hills (southern
Kenya). The main forests are characterized by Elaeodendron buchananii, Vepris trichocarpa,
Brachylaena huillensis, Warburgia ugandensis, Rawsonia lucida, and Manilkara discolor,
especially in the Nairobi area.
These tropical dry forests were assigned to Juniperetea procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995,
but there are no common characteristic species in Juniperus procera and tropical dry forests (Table
3 in Appendix). In this paper, we propose a new class for Kenyan tropical dry forests.
1. Schoenoxiphio lehmannii-Crotonietea megalocarpae cls. nova (Table 3 in Appendix)
1-1. Schoenoxiphio lehmannii-Crotonietalia megalocarpae ord. novus (Table 3 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Strychnos usambarensis, Barleria micrantha, Schoenoxiphium lehmannii, Setaria
plicatilis, Ehretia cymosa, Phaulopsis imbricata, Croton megalocarpus, Clausena anisata, Celtis
africana, Fagaropsis angolensis, Ficus thonningii, Commelina benghalensis, Allophylus ferruginus,
Calodendrum capense, Grewia similis, Acokanthera schimperi, Euclea divinorum, Zanthoxylum
usambarense, Ehrharta erecta var. abyssinica, Ochna ovata, Maytenus undata, Vangueria infausta.
Holotype: Brachylaenion huillensis Bussmann et Beck 1995.
Forests dominated by Croton megalocarpus are mostly secondary forests but occur also as a
zone next to dry savanna areas. Tropical dry forests contain C. megalocarpus relatively frequently,
except at Mt. Kulal. The canopy trees are usually very tall, at 20-40 m; only forests in the Loita
Hills and Karrisa Hills are 12-20 m. The canopy is relatively open, with most forests having 50-
70% canopy cover but some forests reaching 80%. The occurrence of C. megalocarpus in open
habitats matches its character as a light-demanding, fast-growing tree [22]. A similar character
species is Brachylaena huillensis, whose seedlings demand light but do grow especially under
mother trees. Seed viability decreases under sunlight exposure, but continuous regeneration was
found in both disturbed forest stands and under closed canopies [24].
1-1-1. Strychnoso mitis-Diospyrosion abyssinicae all. nova (Table 3 and 4 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Strychnos mitis, Dorstenia brownia, Rinorea convallarioides ssp. marsabitensis,
Dregea abyssinica.
Holotype: Pavetto gardeniifoliae-Cassipouretum malosanae ass. nova
Mt. Marsabit, Mt. Kulal and Kitichii Camp in the Mattews Range are ‘isolated islands' in the
savanna. These are volcanic mountains, with more humid environments. In particular, Usnea
usnoides is hanging on the trees in the Marsabit forests surrounding the Paradise Lake at the top of
the National Park. These are classified as a new alliance with the diagnostic taxa listed above. Three
new associations are contained.
1-1-1-1. Pavetto gardeniifoliae-Cassipouretum malosanae ass. nova (Table 4 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Pavetta gardeniifolia, Isoglossa laxa, Scadoxus multiflorus ssp. multiflorus,
Oxyanthus speciosus ssp. stenocarpus, Margaritaria discoidea, Allophylus abyssinica.
Holotype: running no. 3 (Kl-3: 1946 m).
Mt. Kulal is an isolated volcanic mountain. Lake Turkana lies on its west side, and the
surrounding area is covered by volcanic gravel. A wide area of the forest is protected on top of the
mountain. The height of this forest is 27-40 m, and canopy trees have diameters (DBH) of 20-47
cm. Five or six species are mixed in the tall canopy layer. Four to five layers are recognized,
FOREST TYPES AND BIODIVERSITY AROUND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY… 147
according to presence of very tall canopy trees such as Cassipourea molasana, Olea europea ssp.
africana, Strychnos usambariensis, Diospyros abyssinica, Ocotea kenyensis and Ficus thonningii.
The forest of Mt. Kulal is protected by the local Conservation Committee, but cattle can be seen
grazing everywhere. Also, baboons disturb the soil to search for soil roaches. Relevé data were
recorded at 1835-1946 m elevation. Ocotea kenyensis occurs on Mt. Kulal, but the other diagnostic
taxa (e.g. Tabernaemontana, Sysygium, Psychotria, and Piper) are missing. Croton megalocarpus is
also missing on top of the mountain.
1-1-1-2. Veprisio hanagensi-Drypetetum gerrardii ass. nova (Table 4 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Vepris hanagensis, Erythroxylum fischeri, Ritchiea albersii, Coffea arabica,
Premna maxima.
Holotype: running no. 12 (Mar-6: 1392 m).
The forests in Marsabit National Park are relatively well preserved at 1230-1540 m. The
striking characteristic species is Usnea usneoides hanging on canopy trees surrounding Lake
Paradise. The height of the forests is 27-38 m, and average canopy cover is about 63% (50-80%). It
is a relatively open forest. The forests in Marsabit are characterized by fewer species than other
forests, and cover by Drypetes gerardii is relatively high (20-50%). Githae (2006) made an
inventory and diversity assessment in the forest dominated by Drypetes gerardii. Mt. Marsabit is
missing some species from tropical dry forests, such as Celtis africana and Vepris simplicifolia. The
mean number of species is 30 (21-41), which is relatively low. Bussmann [4] reported the presence
of Coffeo arabicae-Rinoreetum convallarioidis, but its diagnostic taxa were not recognized in our
vegetation sampling; also, tropical dry-forest species are missing in his sampling (Table 3: running
no. 31).
1-1-1-3. Argomuellero macrophylli-Crotonetum megalocarpae ass. nova (Table 4 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Allophylus rubifolius, Erythroxylum emarginatum, Argomuellera macrophylla,
Vangueria madagascariensis, Haplocoelum foliolosum, Encephalartos tegulaneus,
Pseuderanthemum hildebrandtii, Sapium ellipticum, Bauhinia tomentosa, Craibia laurentii,
Hippocratea paniculata
Holotype: Ken-90 (running no. 25)
The forest height is lower, at 25-33 m, than at Mt. Marsabit and Mt. Kulal; canopy cover is
50-80%. Characteristic is the dominance of Aegollera macrophylla (Euphorbiaceae) in the shrub
layer and of Encephalartos tegulaneus, the Kenyan giant cycad (Zamiaceae), in the shrub layer to
sub-canopy tree layer. The physiognomy of the forest is different from that of other tropical dry
forests.
1-1-2. Brachylaenion huillensis Bussmann et Beck 1995 (Table 3 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Elaeodendron buchananii, Vepris trichocarpa, Brachylaena huillensis, Asparagus
setaceus, Pterolobium stellatum, Vernonia holstii, Warburgia ugandensis, Dombeya burgessiae,
Strychnos henningsii, Rawsonia lucida, Manilkara discolor, Uvaria scheffleri, Chrysophyllum
viridifolium
Holotype: Elaeodendro buchananii-Brachylaenetum huillensis Bussman et Beck 1995 (Table 3 in
Appendix)
148 K. FUJIWARA, T. FURUKAWA, S. KIBOI, S. MATHENGE, P. MUTISO,

This alliance is typical of tropical dry forests in Kenya. The diagnostic taxa occur in
southern Kenya (Karura, Ngong, Oloolua in Nairobi, and the Loita Hills) and on Mt. Kenya [5].
Most forests are 19-25 m tall, except at Karura, which still has well preserved forests 23-40 m tall.
Forests in the Loita Hills are shorter than other forests, at 12-19 m (an exception is 27 m). Two new
suballiances are distinguished but still need more discussion.
1-1-2-1. Crotonenion alieno-megalocarpae suball. nova (Table 5 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Craibia brownii, Markhamia lutea, Croton alienus, Rothmannia urcelliformis.
Holotype: Crotono megalocarpae-Brachylaenetum huillensis Bussmann et Beck 1995 (Table 3 in
Appendix)
The Karura forest and one Oloolua forest (1613-1945 m) were characterized by Craibia
brownii, Markhamia lutea, Croton alienus and Rothmannia urcelliformis, and lacking Schrebera
alata, Turraea mombassana and Gnidia subcordata (diagnostic species of Schreberenion alatae).
These diagnostic species are characteristic at Ngong, Oloolua and the Loita Hills. Karura is a quite
undulating, hilly area, with more rivers than at Ngong. Two associations are distinguished: Crotono
megalocarpae-Brachylaenetum huillensis Bussmann et Beck 1995 and Markhamio luteae-
Veprisetum trichocarpae ass. nova.
1-1-2-1-1. Markhamio luteae-Veprisetum trichocarpae ass. nova (Table 5 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Craibia brownii, Markhamia lutea, Croton alienus, Rothmannia urcelliformis.
Holotype: running no. 7 (Ken 81, 1710 m)
This association is typical for Karura Forest. In most forests in Karura, Vepris trichocarpa,
Croton megalocarpus, Rawsonia lucida and Strychnos usambarensis are dominant in the canopy
layer. The forest height is 25-40 m. Areas of natural forest are well kept in the Karura Forests.
Markhamio luteae-Veprisetum trichocarpae is classified into three subassociations: allophyletosum
rubifoliae, warburgietosum ugandensis,and newtonietosum buchananii.
1-1-2-1-1-1. allophyletosum rubifoliae subass. nova (Table 5 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Allophylus rubifolius, Hippocratea africana, Crotalaria goodiiformis.
Holotype: running no. 1 (201308 Kar-1, 1676 m)
The height of this forest is 30-40 m, and the canopy is open (cover 50-65%). The
undercanopy layer is of typical height at 20-22 m, and its cover is 70-80%. Only the forest of
running no. 5 has higher values i.e., 23 m height and 80% canopy cover. This subassociation occurs
on relatively flat areas. Cover of the forest floor is 20%, which is higher than in other
subassociations.
1-1-2-1-1-2. warburgietosum ugandensis subass. nova (Table 5 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Warburgia ugandensis, Vepris hanangensis var. unifoliata, Ochna ovata,
Allophylus ferruginus, Cissus oliveri, Vitex strickeri
Holotype: running no. 8 (Ken-9, 1669 m)
This subassociation is also tall forest, at 25-35 m, and has canopy cover of 60-80%. It occurs
on relatively flat topography.
1-1-2-1-1-3. newtonietosum buchananii subass. nova (Table 5 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Newtonia buchananii, Uvariodendron anisatum
FOREST TYPES AND BIODIVERSITY AROUND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY… 149
Holotype: running no. 19 (Ken-8, 1887 m)
This subassociation is characterized by the dominance of Newtonia buchananii in the
canopy layer, which is 22-32 m high. Canopy cover is also high, at 75-80%. This forest type occurs
from flat areas to steep slopes of 20-28% and at the highest elevations (1657-1945 m) of the three
subassociations.
1-1-2-2. Schreberenion alatae suball. nova (Table 3 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Schrebera alata, Turraea mombassana, Gnidia subcordata
Holotype: Euphorbio candelabrae-Oleetum africanae ass. nova
One diagnostic species, the deciduous Schrebera alata (Oleaceae), occurs in open woodlands
and drier forests. Forests at Ngong, Oloolua and the Loita Hills are classified into this suballiance.
The field data were obtained at 1731-2024 m. This suballiance occurs in the southernmost hills.
Two associations and one community are distinguished in this suballiance: Elaeodendro
buchananii-Brachylaenetum huillensis Bussman et Beck 1995, Euphorbio candelabrae-Oleetum
africanae ass. nova, and Canthium keniense-Brachylaena huillensis community.
1-1-2-2-1. Euphorbio candelabrae-Oleetum africanae ass. nova (Table 6 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Scolopia zeyheri, Scolopia theifolia, Euphorbia candelabrum, Abutilon longicuspe,
Justicia anagalloides, Pappea capensis, Tinnea aethiopica, Tridactyle furcistipes, Maerua triphylla.
Holotype: running no. 3 (Ken-225, 2189 m)
Euphorbio candelabrae-Oleetum africanae has a unique physiognomy, with tall Euphorbia
candelabrum. The height of forests is mostly 12-20 m, sometimes 27 m. Canopy cover is 25-60%,
i.e. relatively open. This forest association occurs in the Loita Hills and on slopes of 5-20%.
1-1-3. Mayteno undatae-Veprision simplicifoliae all. nova prov. (Table 3 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Ehretia cymosa, Maytenus undata, Vangueria infausta, Fagaropsis angolensis
Holotype: Crotono megalocarpae-Tecletum simplicifoliae Bussmann 2002
This alliance is composed of two community types: Crotono megalocarpae-Tecletum
simplicifoliae Bussmann 2002 and Desmodium repandum-Fagaropsis angolensis community. This
alliance occurs widely in Mukogodo Forest, the Ngong Hills Plain, Karissia Hills, Bawa, Aberdare
National Park, the Mattews Range and Loita Naimena Eukiyo Forest. This alliance includes
Podocarpus falcata forests, Juniperus forests, and also evergreen broad-leaved forests.
II. Afromontane forests
White (1983) described Afromontane forests as occurring between 1200 and 2500 m, from
southern Ethiopia to Malawai. Our data in Kenya are from 2100 m to 2600 m, where evergreen
moist forests are described as the class Ocotetea.
2. Ocotetea usambaraensis Bussmann et Beck 1995, Ocotetalia usambaraensis Bussmann et Beck
1995
Diagnostic taxa: Tabernaemontana stapfiana, Syzygium guineense, Ocotea usambarensis, Peddiea
fischeri, Strombosia scheffleri, Panicum calvum, Piper capense, Schefflera volkensii, Xymalos
monospora, Adenia gummifera.
Holotype: Macarangion kilimandscharicae Bussmann et Beck 1995
150 K. FUJIWARA, T. FURUKAWA, S. KIBOI, S. MATHENGE, P. MUTISO,
H. HAYASHI, SHIN-ICHI MEGURO
This class was described as including two orders by Bussmann and Beck [5], but diagnostic
species of the two orders were not clear.
2-1-1. Dracaena afromontana-Cassipourea malosana community (Table 3 in Appendix)
Differential taxa: Dracaena afromontana, Acanthus eminens, Pavetta elliottii, Mimulopsis solmsii,
Dicliptera laxata, Vepris (Teclea) nobilis, Simirestis goetzei, Canthium oligocarpum, Stombosia
scheffleri, Bersama abyssinica.
Holotype: running no. 16
The new community type was recorded from the so-called Mau area that included the
Tinderet Forest (Nandi Hills), Nyangores Block (Narok), Nyangores Forest Station (Narok) and
Chemususu Lembus Forest (Eldama Ravine). Forests from the western hills of the Great Rift Valley
are not surveyed well. Kakamega Forest is always studied and reported. The data were gathered
from Nkareta Forest, Tinderet Forest, the Nyangores Block, Transmara Forest, Nyangores Forest
and Chemususu Lembus Forest. This community occurs in the western hill area, at 2125-2318 m.
The forest is tall (28-55 m) and canopy cover is 60-80%. It occurs on gentle slopes or almost flat
topography.
2-1-2. Macarangion kilimandscharicae Bussmann et Beck 1995
Diagnostic taxa: Begonia meyeri-johannis, Lasianthus kilimandscharicus, Neoboutonia macrocalyx,
Macaranga kilimandscharica, Plectranthus luteus.
Holotype: Macarangetum kilimandscharicae by Bussmann et Beck 1995
Macarangion kilimandscharicae Bussmann et Beck 1995 was described through certain
diagnostic taxa. In particular, the Macarangetum kilimandscharicae sensu lato by Bussmann et Beck
1995 was described from Mt. Kenya. Those authors, though, made too many associations based on
herb species in Kenya, and these should be reorganized. Therefore, it seems that the unit by
Bussmann [4] needs to be reconsidered (Table 3 in Appendix). Another forest type was recorded
from Kieni Forest, Ragati Forest and Kiandongoro Forest and identified as Psychotria
fractinervata-Macaranga kilimandscharica community, with the following differential species:
Carex monostachya, Pauridiantha paucinervis, Keetia gueinzii, Psychotria fractinervata, Impatiens
fischeri, Urera hypselodendron and Psychotria riparia. Podocarpo latifolii-Sinarundinarietum
alpinae Bussmann et Beck 1995 does belong to Sinarundinarietea alpinae Bussmann et Beck 1995.
It does not have character species of Ocotetea usambarensis or Juniperetea procerae, but common
species do occur. It needs more consideration.
III. Dry montane forests
These forest were assigned to Juniperetea procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995 and
Juniperetalia procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995.
Diagnostic taxa: Juniperus procera, Stipa dregeana, Isoglossa gregorii, Ehrharta erecta.
Holotype: Juniperion procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995
3-1-1 Juniperion procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995 (Table 3 in Appendix)
Diagnostic taxa: Geranium arabicum, Rhamnus prinoides, Rubus volkensii, Myrsine africana,
Brachypodium flexum.
Holotype: Myrsino africanae-Juniperetum procerae Bussmann et Beck 1995
FOREST TYPES AND BIODIVERSITY AROUND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY… 151
Six associations on Mt. Kenya were described in this alliance, but only three associations
have clear diagnoses: Podocarpo latifolii-Cassipouretum malosanae Bussmann et Beck 1995,
Myrsino africanae-Juniperetum procerae Bussmann 1995, and Faulio salignae-Ilicietum mitis
Bussmann 2002 (Table 3 in Appendix). These occur on Mt. Kenya and Mt. Nyiro, and at Ngare,
Porror, and Lorogi.
3-1-2 Cassipourion malosanae Bussmann et Beck 1995
Diagnostic taxa: Cassipourea malosana, Olea capensis ssp. hochstetteri, Lepidotrichilia volkensii,
Pilea usambarensis
Holotype: Tecleo nobilis-Tecletum simplicifoliae Bussmann et Beck 1995
This plant association is summarized in this alliance from the Loita Hills, Ndare Ngare,
Porror, and Lorogi.
Discussion and Conclusions
There are not enough climate data in Kenya, and Bussmann and Beck [5] and Bussmann [4]
did not include detailed environmental data. The data used herein, however, do cover the whole
area. Therefore we can discuss forest types and environmental factors based on DCCA results (see
Figure 2).
1. Characteristics of forest-type distribution along the Great Rift Valley
The forests of Kenya and other parts of eastern Africa were described by [42, 35, 5, 4, 25].
White [42] described the forests of Africa especially well. Tropical dry forest at Karura and the
Ngong forest in Nairobi were reported by [24, 16, 11, 12], as well as by [4]. Bytebier and Bussmann
[7] reported vegetation types and provided a taxa checklist for Mt. Nyiru. Githae [14] provided a
botanical inventory and reported on diversity at Mt. Marsabit, at least partially. Hemp [17] reported
on the vegetation of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Vegetation zonation is similar to that of Mt. Kenya except
that there is no bamboo on Kilimanjaro. People use the forest in several ways [18, 19, 26, 33].
Therefore, natural forests are now only remnants. Regeneration and succession in tropical dry forest
and Afromontane forest have also been studied [3, 21, 34, 38].
According to the DCCA results, the longitude, latitude, elevation, slope, aspect,
precipitation, number of wetter and drier seasons, and coldest month temperature are major
environmental factors. The forests of Marsabit and the Mattews Range are located the farthest east
and north. These (running nos. 2 & 3 in Table 1, in Appendix) are ‘island forests’ in the desert [cf.
4, 6, 13, 15, 20, 28, 29, 41, 42]. These are mostly tropical dry forests and are different from forests
of the Nairobi area (nos. 5-10: Brachylaenion huillensis). Tropical dry forests are characterized by
lower annual precipitation (see Figure 1), low wet-season precipitation, gentle slopes, southern
aspects and southern latitude in the Nairobi area (nos. 4-11). Another type of tropical dry forest,
without Brachylaenion huillensis species, is characterized by more western locations (hilly
topography), more dry-season precipitation, low coldest mean temperature, just one (but a longer)
dry season each year, and northern latitude, except for the Loita Hills (nos. 12-15). Afromontane
forests (Ocotetea usambarensis and Juniperetea procerae) are characterized by the lowest
temperatures and high elevation (nos. 16-20). The highest-elevation forest in our relevé set was on
Mt. Aberdare, at 3030 m (no. 21). It is a unique Podocarpus forest with Arundinaria, no dry-forest
species, and some moist-forest tree species. The Afromontane forests occur in relatively inland
mountains. These sites are at high elevation, where the coldest-month temperature is close to 0ºC
(nos. 16, 20, 21).

Caption of Figure 2 (continued)
Oval A represents the Tropical Dry Forests in the main text: Schoenoxiphio lehmannii-Crotonietalia megalocarpae. Its
subsets correspond to subsections in the main text: A-1: Strychnoso mitis-Diospyrosion abyssinicae; A-2:
Brachylaenion huillensis; A-3: Mayteno undatae-Veprision simplicifoliae. Ovals B and C represent Afromontane
Forests (see main text): Ocotetea usambarensis (B) and Podocarpo latifolii-Sinarundinarietum alpinae (C).
Bottom: Results of the DCCA, based on the following environmental factors: ELE = elevation, RSP = precipitation sum
of the rainy season, AP = annual precipitation, ASP = aspect, AT = annual mean temperature, CMT = mean temperature
of coldest month, LON = Longitude, DPS = precipitation sum of the dry season, FDS = number of dry periods per year,
LAT = latitude, SLO = slope, and CT1 = Cover percentage of the canopy layer (T1).
2. Data differences from Bussmann and Beck 1995 and Bussmann 2002.
Detailed phytosociological data for forests in Kenya were reported by [5, 4]. Their data were
integrated with the present authors' data in Table 1 (see Appendix). It is curious that data from
Bussmann suggest independent association types, such as at Karura and Ngong, Mt. Marsabit, Mt.
Kulal, the Loita Hills and the Mattews Range. The two classes of evergreen and semi-evergreen
forest, plus the Sinoarundinarietea (bamboo class) and Hagenietea on Mt. Kenya, were classified
fundamentally. Four classes, five orders, 10 alliances and 41 associations were reported from Mt.
Kenya [5]. These data were integrated with the new data, which allowed the distinction of one new
order and one new class (Schoenoxiphio lehmannii-Crotonietalia megalocarpi and Schoenoxiphio
lehmannii-Crotonietea megalocarpi) circumscribed to tropical dry forests. These did belong to the
Juniperetea procerae before, but common species were not clear. The Ocotetea usambarensis
Bussmann et Beck 1995 was difficult to order. Here the authors made the new units but leave the
question for later discussion, because many associations are classified by herbs. Two orders and
four alliances could not be clarified. Here, new data from Mau Mt. suggested a new association and
alliance.
In this paper three classes were discussed. Unfortunately, new relevés from Mt. Kenya were
not obtained, partly since most forests had been destroyed. We guess that the forests would have
been in better condition in 1995, when Bussmann and Beck made their vegetation samples.
Macarangion kilimandscharicae constitutes the major part of the Afromontane forests on Mt.
Kenya. Three classes were followed by Ocotetea usambarensis and Juniperetea procerae that
Bussmann and Beck [5] described in 1995. There are several tree species common in Kenyan
evergreen and semi-evergreen forests. The situation of these species needs to be discussed. The
authors will do more vegetation samples and record other natural Kenyan forests in the future.

TIPURILE DE PĂDURE ȘI BIODIVERSITATEA DIN ZONA VĂII MARELUI RIFT DIN KENYA
(Rezumat)
Pădurile din Valea Marelui Rift din Kenya sunt unice, ca insule verzi în deșert și se extind din sudul Etiopiei
până în Tanzania. Aceste păduri le includ pe cele Afromontane și tropical-uscate, studiate în Kenya de către Bussmann
și Beck, iar în sudul Etiopiei de Bussmann. Au fost descrise două clase taxonomice (Ocotetea usambarensis în climatul
156 K. FUJIWARA, T. FURUKAWA, S. KIBOI, S. MATHENGE, P. MUTISO,
H. HAYASHI, SHIN-ICHI MEGURO umed și Juniperetea procerae în locurile uscate) anterior studiilor noastre care s-au desfășurat pe părțile estică și vestică
ale Văii Marelui Rift, în perioada 2006-2014, iar rezultatele au fost comparate cu cele ale lui Bussmann din 1990.
Această lucrare prezintă următoarele rezultate noi: 1) Pădurile rămân pe partea vestică și la peste 2000 m și sunt
edificate de Ocotea kenyensis (Lauraceae); acestea sunt diferite de cele Afromontane umede din zonele mai estice
(Ocotetea usambarensis) lângă Valea Riftului. Din martie până în aprilie și din august în septembrie sunt 4 luni cu
precipitații de peste 100 mm. 2) La altitudini de 1300-2200 m, pe partea estică, sunt pădurile uscate unice, edificate de
Brachylaena huilliensis (Compositae), Warburgia ugandensis (Canellaceae), Elaeodendron buchananii (Celastraceae),
Vepris trichocarpa (Rutaceae), Calodendrum capense etc. Unele dintre aceste specii sunt unice și se întind până în
pădurile tropicale din Africa de Sud. 3) Pădurile de altitudine ridicată din zonele estice sunt edificate de Podocarpus
latifolius și Juniperus procera, care aparțin la Juniperetea procerae. Pădurile de Podocarpus latifolius apar în zonele
vestice, dar sunt diferite de cele din zonele estice. 4) Pădurile din munții nordici izolați Marsabit și Kulal sunt diferite;
nu există Podocarpus sau Juniperus, iar umiditatea ridicată permite apariția specie Usnea usneoides la Marsabit. 5)
Zona împădurită a Kenyei este teoretic de 12%, iar pădurile naturale rămase ocupă doar 1,9%. Această suprafață mică
permite eșalonarea unor tipuri diferite de păduri de-a lungul gradientului de umiditate. 6) Numeroase specii lemnoase și
de ferigi din pădurile Afromontane sunt comune și în pădurile tropicale montane și subtropicale din Asia, inclusiv specii
de Podocarpus, Juniperus, Myrsine, Rapanea, Psychotria, Rumohra, Asplenium, Pteris și Dryopteris. 7) Clasificările
făcute de noi și cea a lui Bussmann nu sunt identice la nivel de asociație sau comunitate. De aici și întrebarea dacă
informațiile din 1990 au fost colectate din zone diferite, sau dacă, o parte din vegetație a dispărut datorită impactului
uman sau al faunei sălbatice.
