Savanna
The Savanna Biome is the largest Biome in Southern Africa, occupying 46% of its area, and over one third (1/3) of the area of South America. It is characterized by a grassy ground layer and a distinct upper layer of woody plants. Where this upper layer is near the ground the vegetation may be reffered to as Shrubveld, where it is as dense as Woodland, and the intermediate stages are locally known as Brushveld.
