Approximately fifty land cover classifications characterize southern Africa's vegetation and soils at a 1-degree latitude and longitude resolution. This dataset, collated from forestry, agriculture, land use, and soil maps, was created by Wilson and Henderson-Sellers for use in general circulation climate models. It provides a coherent archive of primary and secondary vegetation types, soil color, texture, drainage, and reliability rankings.
