| source_abstract | Source: ESA (European Space Agency), retrieved here [http://due.esrin.esa.int/page_globcover.php] Most of the country is covered with natural and semi-natural vegetation with variable tree density. Vegetation cover is mostly high in the southwest, with thick tropical forests in the Greater Equatoria region, and low in the southeast and north, where semi-arid savannah dominates. Grasslands, aquatic vegetation and open water occupy the wetter regions. A large part of South Sudan is covered by the Sudd swamp, a conglomeration of smaller wetlands. |
