The thickness of plants lessens towards the Chad basin, where they are actually thin as well as mostly of Acacia types.
The tropical rain forest at elevations between 4,000 and 8,000 feet (1,200 and 2,400 metres) differs from that of the valleys: the trees are much smaller, are of various species, as well as are draped along with marshes, lichens, and other epiphytes. Over the jungle area are drier forests, high grasslands, or patches of mountain range bamboo.
