the youngest and the highest. Mount Kilimanjaro presents a wide range of climatic and ecological conditions from the equatorial arid plain at its base (900 m a.s.l.) to the perpetual snow on the summit, with a relatively well-defined altitudlnal zonation of life on its slopes. The upper zones are essentially characterized by a diurnal-thermic climate. The vegetation varies from steppe to alpine-desert. Up to about 2000 m originally it had a forest cover, which is nowadays an agricultural land. Above this belt, up to 3000 m a.s.l., more or less intact montane rain forest types prevail. Zones above this are moorlands - lower moorlands characterized by Philippia and Erica shrubs, on the higher moorlands - paramo vegetation - giant Senecio, Lobelia and Helichrysum stands are typical, where the moisture content is high enough. On drier places the so-called puna vegetation is characteristic composed of sedges and grass communities .
