Distribution of Vegetation Types
2015This chapter presents an overview of the vegetation types of the Yucatan Peninsula. Mean annual precipitation, terrain and soil characteristics explain the large-scale distribution of forest types in the Yucatan Peninsula. Tropical (high) forest is found in areas with >800 mm of mean annual precipitation, while dry (low) tropical forest is distributed ...

Soil Respiration of Tropical Vegetation types
Ecology, 1967Soil respiration rates, measured during the dry season of 1966 in Costa Rica by absorption of CO2 through KOH followed by titration with HCI, were lowest in the savanna and the decidous forest (300—400 mg CO2/m2/hr); they were between 1,000 and 2,000 mg CO:2/m2/hr in the gallery forest and the wet forest; and were highest in the secondary growth ...

The location and extent of forest types described in the following chapters correspond with the surface areas inventoried on the map. The descriptions which follow refer arbitrarily to environments ranging from coastal zones to mountain tops in much the same way as the first explorers approached the island.

There are many types of vegetation maps, for various reasons. First of all, vegetation associations possess particular intrinsic characteristics based on their floristic composition, structure, synecology, syndynamics and synchorology. Each of these may be represented on a map, yielding maps of quite different meaning.

Types of Scottish bog vegetation
Botanical Journal of Scotland, 1997Summary The main types of ombrotrophic mire vegetation in Scotland are described with reference to selected mire sites of national importance. The range of variation is controlled by two main environmental gradients, climate and altitude. In particular the degree of oceanicity is crucial, influencing both the vegetation and the hydro-morphology of ...

Vegetational Types of Polar Lands
1971Under the prevailing cool conditions, water is very widely sufficient in the Arctic for such limited growth as the climate, etc., allows, and the main vegetational differences in any particular belt are rather in accordance with the actual habitats. Thus local edaphic or physiographic variations can ring the most immediate and fundamental changes in ...
