Les hauts plateaux de la Shire comprennent le plateau de Zomba au nord et les montagnes de Thyolo (1 462 m) au sud. La basse vallée de la Shire, qui fait partie de la branche orientale de la vallée du Grand Rift, forme la limite nord, ouest et sud-ouest des Hautes terres de la Shire. La vallée de la Ruo, un affluent de la Shire, forme la limite de l'écorégion au sud et au sud-est. La plaine de Phalombe et la vallée du lac Chilwa se situe au nord-est. L'écorégion, qui fait partie de l'archipel d'afromontane, propose des forêts luxuriantes, des sols fertiles, beaucoup d'humidité et un climat tempéré ; c'est la plus densément peuplée des régions du Malawi. Blantyre, seconde ville du pays, y est située. Le thé est cultivé de manière industrielle, notamment autour de Thyolo et Mulanje, et constitue l'une des principales exportations du pays. (fr)
  • The South Malawi montane forest-grassland mosaic is an ecoregion of Malawi. The ecoregion covers a region of highlands and plateaus that includes Mount Mulanje (3,002 m) in the southeast and the lower Shire Highlands to the northeast and east, with the Plain between them. The Shire Highlands includes the Zomba Plateau (2,087 m) in the north and the (1,462 m) to the south. The low valley of the Shire River, part of the African Rift Valley system, bounds the Shire Highlands to the northwest, west, and southwest. The valley of the Ruo River, a tributary of the Shire, bounds the ecoregion on the south and southeast. The Phalombe Plain and the valley of Lake Chilwa lie to the northeast. The ecoregion enjoyed lush forests, fertile soils, ample water, and mild climate, and is one of the most densely populated regions of Malawi. Blantyre, Malawi's second-largest city, is in the Shire Highlands. Tea is grown commercially in the highlands, especially around Thyolo and Mulanje, and is one of Malawi's chief exports. The highlands' climate and geology are home to communities of plants and animals distinct from the woodland and savanna ecoregions of the surrounding lowlands. The ecoregion is bounded to the southeast by the Eastern miombo woodlands, and to the northwest by the Southern miombo woodlands. The generally drier Zambezian and mopane woodlands lie to the southwest in the Zambezi lowlands, and to the east in the basin of Lake Chilwa. (en)
