  • Agro-Ecological Zones of Bhutan Zones (AEZ) Based Mainly on Altitude As Shown in Table 2.1 and Map 5
    Part Two OVERVIEW OF BHUTAN Country-wide Characteristics Physical features Bhutan is a mountainous and landlocked Himalayan country situated between latitude 26°40’ and 28°15’N and longitude 88°45’ and 92°10’E. It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north and the Indian states of Assam, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim to the south (Map 1). The country spans about 300 km from east to west and 170 km from north to south with a total land area of 40,973 sq.km* (Source: RNR Census 2000). The terrain is highly rugged and steep with very little flat area for productive agricultural farming. Elevation throughout the country ranges from less than 100 masl (in the south) to above 7000 masl in the north (Map 2). The country can be divided into three distinct physiographic regions on the basis of altitude and corresponding rainfall and temperature. The southern foothills range in altitude from less than 100m to about 2000 masl and comprise the Siwalik Hills together with a narrow band of flat plains along the Indian border. The inner Himalayas make up the main river valleys and steep hills and rise in elevation from about 2000 to 4000m. The great Himalayas to the north along the Tibetan border consist of snow capped peaks and alpine rangelands above around 4000m (Map 3). For administrative purposes, Bhutan is divided into twenty districts called dzongkhags, which are further subdivided into 202 sub-districts or blocks called geogs. The district and block boundaries are shown in Map 4.

  • THE Magnoliaceae Liriodendron L. Magnolia L
    THE Magnoliaceae Liriodendron L. Magnolia L. VEGETATIVE KEY TO SPECIES IN CULTIVATION Jan De Langhe (1 October 2014 - 28 May 2015) Vegetative identification key. Introduction: This key is based on vegetative characteristics, and therefore also of use when flowers and fruits are absent. - Use a 10× hand lens to evaluate stipular scars, buds and pubescence in general. - Look at the entire plant. Young specimens, shade, and strong shoots give an atypical view. - Beware of hybridisation, especially with plants raised from seed other than wild origin. Taxa treated in this key: see page 10. Questionable/frequently misapplied names: see page 10. Names referred to synonymy: see page 11.

The results of arboriculture and afforestation attempts during a century in the Faroe Isles and 30 years in Greenland illucidate the phytogeographical position of these areas and suggest from which regions further species and origins should be introduced.
