The thickness of trees decreases toward the Chad basin, where they are sparse and also mostly of Acacia types.
The exotic rain forest at elevations in between 4,000 and also 8,000 feets (1,200 and 2,400 metres) differs coming from that of the bogs: the plants are much smaller, are actually of various types, and are actually adorned along with marshes, lichens, and also other epiphytes. Above the rain forest zone are drier forests, high grasslands, or even patches of mountain bamboo.
