**5. Conclusion**

The present study assessed the impact of climate change on forest type, forest living biomass, basal area, and number of stems. HLZ model and GAP Formind modified were used under three climate condition scenarios; near century (2011–2041); mid-century (2041–2070); and end-century (2071–2100). The results show that two forest vegetation occurs in Malawi (dry forest and very dry forest) in near century. Thorn woodland forest will emerge in the mid- century, while dry forest will disappear in the end-century. Furthermore, the results indicate an overall significant decrease in forest living biomass due to climate change in the end-century. Therefore, future climate change will be conducive to growth and expansion of very dry forest vegetation zone, which causes positive effects on reforestation projects in the region.
