Tree Species Occurrence Data of Accacia Commiphora Woodland of Tanzania.

Acacia-Commiphora woodland is commonly found in Somalia-Masai phytochorion.

They are characterized by dense bushland of 3 to 5 m tall with scattered emergent trees up to 9 m. The main canopy tree species are mostly multiple-stemmed trees or small trees that are branched near the base. In Tanzania the Acacia commiphora ecoregion includes most of the northern circuit National Parks (Serengeti, Mkomazi, Tarangire and Lake Manyara) and the central part. This woodland is characterized by dominant tree and shrub plant species such as Acacia tortilis, Acacia millifera, Commiphora africana, Commiphora abyssinica, Commiphora schimperi, Commiphora edulis, Commiphora campestris, Balanites aegyptiaca, Acalypha sp., Aerva sp, Combretum sp. and Terminalia sp.
