Northern Congolian Forest-Savanna Mosaic
Northern Congolian Forest-Savanna Mosaic (German: Forest-Savannah Mosaic of the Northern Congo ) is the name for an ecoregion in Central Africa , part of the belt in the transition zone of the forest-savanna mosaic , which is between the equatorial forests and the tropical dry forests, savannas, and grasslands that extend north and south. Strictly speaking, the Northern Congolian Forest-Savanna Mosaic lies between the equatorial rainforests of the Congo Basin in the south and the drier East Sudanian Savanna in the north. It extends from the Cameroon Highlands in the west through central Cameroon and the southern Central African Republic to southwest South Sudan and the northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo , where it is in the east from the flooded grasslands of the Sudd , the eastern part of the East Sudanese savannah and the mountain forests in the Western Rift (Albertine Rift montane forests). The area is largely characterized by altitudes between 500 and 700 m and belongs to the tropical savanna climate .
