Ecological type: (based on Iversen, 1991b)
• F - Forest dependent species: Species previously recorded as restricted to primary or closed canopy forest only, e.g.
wet evergreen forest, dry evergreen forest and/or riverine forest;
• f - Forest dwelling but not forest dependent: Species previously recorded in primary or closed canopy forest as
defined above and/or in forest edge, clearings, secondary forest, deciduous forest and woodland, and
• O - Non-forest species: These are species that do not occur in primary or secondary forest or forest edge (e.g. species
that have been recorded in bushland, heathland, thicket, secondary scrub, grassland, rocky outcrops, swamps,
wastelands and cultivation.
Habitat: (based on Hamilton, 1989)
• L - Lowland: Species occurring at altitudes less than 850m above sea level;
• S - Submontane: Species occurring at altitudes greater than 850m above sea level (masl) and below 1,250 masl.
• M – Montane Species occurring at altitudes greater than 1,250m above sea level.
If species occur in more than one habitat range, this has been recorded (e.g. L&S – this species has been recorded at
altitudes between 0m and 1,250m above sea level).
Endemic status: (based on Iversen, 1991b)
• E – Usambara endemic: Occurring only in the Usambara mountains, EU - Range limited to the East Usambara
Mountains, WU - Range limited to the West Usambara Mountains;
• N – Near-endemic: Species with limited ranges in the Eastern Arc mountains and the adjacent coastal forests
(occurring only in the East African biodiversity hotpot);
• W - Widespread distribution.
1 Additional species recorded as a consequence of intensitying sampling effort by increasing plots to 6m x 6m in size.
