	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- East Saharan montane xeric woodlands (AT1303)
		Narrow, deeply eroded canyons called wadis run along the sides of the mountains and form rare freshwater habitats after torrential rains.
		Dry woodlands found here are isolated in a sea of sand and sun and provide much needed shade and water for a variety of species.
		The permanent pools of water that exist in the Eastern Saharan Montane Xeric Woodlands ecoregion draw an amazing variety of animals from near and far.

		Biologically, a woodland is differentiated from a forest.
		Some types of woodland are essentially grasslands with shrubs and scattered trees.
		A woodlot is a closely-related term, referring generally to a small area of woods left remaining in a farm or other non-forest matrix, and reserved for wood production, generally for firewood.

		Such is the case of the coast of the province of Guantanamo, in south-eastern Cuba, the Neiba-Cul de Sac Valley of south-central Hispaniola, the coastal region between Salinas and Cabo Rojo in south-western Puerto Rico, and the Hellshire Hills of south-eastern Jamaica.
		Because of the aforementioned porous structure of limestone, xeric forests and grasslands that grow on a limestone base in arid regions tend to be the driest among the dry.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- East Saharan montane xeric woodlands (AT1303)
		The largest portion of the East Saharan Montane Xeric Woodland ecoregion is located in Chad, where it encompasses the Massif Ennedi and Massif du Kapka at over 1,400 m elevation.
		Happold (1969) found that the high jebels, which support areas of moisture-dependent habitat instead of desert and semi-desert, are more likely to have a higher biodiversity value.
		For example, dorcas gazelles may not drink water in their lifetime, receiving moisture solely from plants, while the Saharan cheetah can survive on the moisture acquired from the blood and urine of its prey.

		West Saharan montane xeric woodlands - Definition, explanation
		The Sahara is the world's largest desert and is located in northern Africa.
		The very scarse rain (less than 25 mm and even less than 5 mm per annum in the east) can fall in any season and in a very irregular way : some areas may receive no rain for years then suffer intense storms.

	Burning Deserts - Nevadagascar: Weeds and Fires in the Mojave Desert (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Some of the jost charismatic and widely-appreciated succulent and xeric plants are native to this country, including many pachypodiums, euphorbias, aloes, and seven of the eight species of baobab trees in the genus Adansonia.
		The native understory of the woodland is a mix of woody shrubs and cacti, which include a reddish-spined variant of the silver-and-gold cholla (Opuntia echinocarpa), grizzly-bear prickly pear (Opuntia erinacea), and banana yucca (Yucca baccata).
		Conservatively assuming that out of nearly a million burned acres, only 10% was Joshua tree woodland, a minimum of 100,000 acres of Joshua tree forest met its fate in these fires (not counting other fires elsewhere in Nevada or the Mojave Desert that I did not visit).

		Members of genus Diacamma are found from India east through southeast Asia into New Guinea and Australia, and most of the 42 species and subspecies nest in loose debris on the ground's surface or less commonly in the soil.
		It is rarely found in habitats with less than 250 mm of rainfall per year, and most of the species are found in the temperate zones with deciduous or coniferous trees.
		Most species are found in the southwestern states with a few ranging east to the Atlantic coast and as far north as Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa.

	Sahara
		The boundaries of the Sahara are the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the north, the Red Sea and Egypt on the east, and the Sudan and the valley of the River Niger on the south.
		During the last ice age, the Sahara was a much wetter place, much like East Africa, than it is today.
		Centralized states thus surrounded the desert on the north and east, it remained outside of the control of these states.

		Preliminary estimates for the Niassa Reserve, the proposed extension and buffer zone indicate that there are between 8000 and 10000 elephants in the area o African or Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) are abundant within the Reserve and buffer zone and occur in herds of up to 500 in the Niassa Reserve.
		At a national level several large mammal species are believed to be extinct or on the verge of extinction e.g., the fl and white rhino, giraffe, roan antelope, tsessebe, the mountain reedbuck and the African wild dog.
		The species is partly migratory breeding in montane forest and moving to the foothills and coastal forest in the cold season.

	Palearctic
		China and Japan are more humid and temperate than adjacent Siberia and Central Asia, and are home to rich temperate coniferous, broadleaf, and mixed forests, which are now mostly limited to mountainous areas, as the densely populated lowlands and river basins have been converted to intensive agricultural and urban use.
		East Asia was not much affected by glaciation in the ice ages, and retained 96 percent of Pliocene tree genera, while Europe retained only 27 percent.
		In the subtropical southern parts of China and Japan, the Palearctic temperate forests transition to the subtropical and tropical forests of Indomalaya, creating a rich and diverse mix of plant and animal species.

	Global Deserts Outlook
		By far the largest set of deserts in the world is found in the Palearctic realm.
		The Palearctic realm also harbours three coastal deserts (Atlantic coastal desert, Gulf desert, and Red Sea coastal desert), as well as five montane sky-island relict ecosystems (Tarim Basin deciduous forests and steppe, Kuh Rud and Eastern Iran montane woodlands, Afghan Mountains semi-desert, Tibesti-Jebel Uweinat montane xeric woodlands, and West Saharan montane xeric woodlands).
		The Palearctic deserts cover a remarkable 16 million square kilometres, totalling 63 per cent of all the deserts on the planet.

		These mountains are part of the Somali Montane Xeric Woodland eco-region that stretches along the northern coast of the Horn of Africa from the Shimbiris to Raas Caseyr, continuing some 300 km south along the Somali coastal plain.
		The landscape and vegetation are amazing – spectacular woodlands of frankincense (Boswellia frereana), often growing on huge boulders or in vertical cliffs, occasional Pyrenacantha malvifolia with fat caudices that can reach over one metre in diameter, Commiphora spp.
		According to recent reports, the areas most affected are those east of Hargeisa (the capital), most probably around the Golis Mountain range which is closer to Berbera, the main seaport.
