Land Of Contrast: Southern Africa's Diverse Biomes (Hardcover, 14 Ed)

Land of contrast delights with the photographic collection of bold and beautiful images. The book depicts the renowned diversity of the different landscapes and life within the eight biomes of the southern African sub-continent. Each of these landscapes, called biomes, are the result of its geology and climate, which determine the soil and vegetation types and eventually the fauna. Life on land is determined by the availability of fresh water and therefore rivers and wetlands form an intrinsic part of each biome. The biomes vary from fynbos, succulent Karoo, Nama Karoo, desert, grassland, Savanna, thicket and forest.
