Climate and Vegetation in Africa Yearly Rainfall in Africa. Plant life is influenced by the amount of rainfall. Tropical rainforests extend to the north and south of the equator. They are home to thousands of plants and animal species. The rainforests consist of various layers of vegetation, from shrubs and ferns on the ground to trees that grow up to a height of 50 metres. In the savannahs and grasslands longer grass is replaced by shorter grass as you move away from the equator, with trees scattered in-between.
