Cumulative Dataset

The Acacia dataset covers 299 1-degree grid cells out of the total 2169 of sub-Saharan Africa. 10 taxa are mapped, creating a total cover of 444 records.

Both Species Diversity and Endemism are centred around Kenya, with records occurring south to Zimbabwe and west across to the Gambia.

The hotspots seem to be located across the north of the continent from the Arabian Peninsular to Nigeria.
