Potential vegetation in eastern Africa . Re-classified from White, 1983.
Ethiopia and southern Sudan have the highest potential for intensive croplivestock
production. Much of this is now already under cropland, with the
exception of southern Sudan (for cropland, see Figure 2.7).
The potential vegetation of eastern Africa is largely desert and semi -
desert (26 percent of the land surface), bushland (33 percent) and woodland
