Southern African Sand Forest : ウィキペディア英語版 | Southern African Sand Forest Southern African Sand Forest is a sand forest, or a subtropical forest ecoregion of the Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests Biome. It grows on ancient sand dunes in northern KwaZulu-Natal and southern Mozambique. In South Africa these forests are known simply as Sand Forest, while in Mozambique they are known as Licuati Forest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.africaelephants.com/ecology.htm )〕 ==Origins== (詳細はPliocene,〔Soil chronosequence development in dunes on the southeast African coastal plain, Maputaland, South Africa Quaternary International Volumes 162-163, March 2007, Pages 111-132 The Soil Record of Quaternary Climate Change. Greg Botha and Naomi Porat〕 and frequent sand mobilization events during climatic changes have resulted in some reworking of the dunes.〔The luminescence chronology of dune development on the Maputaland coastal plain, southeast Africa. Quaternary Science Reviews Volume 27, Issues 9-10, May 2008, Pages 1024-1046 Naomi Porat and Greg Botha〕 The geological history of the region suggests that the current ecosystems here may be of recent derivation and many endemic plant taxa comply with the concept of neo-endemics (recent locally evolved species), and biological evolution (notably speciation) is still in an active phase.〔
