Fig. 1

Left: Tropical dry forest ecozone in Africa (FAO 2000) with areas susceptible to drought. Susceptible areas are situated in the transition zone to shrub land where woody vegetation cover is mainly influenced by mean annual precipitation (MAP < 650 mm) (Sankaran et al. 2005) and where the largest decreases (>15 %) in MAP are predicted. Right: Study area in the dry tropical forest transition zone. Future MAP is based on the B1 SRES emission scenario for 2080 (HADCM3 model, WorldClim)
