Some vegetational types tain major temperature parameters. Most boundaries between have been successfully related to precipitation regimes broad-leaved forests coincide with mean annual temperature values; and evapotranspiration rates, but areal distribution of a mean temperature of the cold month of 1°C delineates dominantly broad-leaved deciduous forests from broad-leaved evergreen forests. principal forest types as a function of the temperature Forests in which conifers are either dominant or a major emergent regime remains elusive. A correlation between forest element typically are separated from broad-leaved forests by sum­ types and temperature has been assumed to exist, and mer heat. Based on the approximate coincidence of certain mean indeed the most commonly accepted definitions of the annual temperature values with vegetational boundaries, a sixfold terms "tropical" and "subtropical" are based on the division of forest climates is proposed: tropical (more than 25°C), paratropical (20-25°C), subtropical (13-20°C), temperate (10-13°C), supposed limitation of "tropical" and "subtropical" paratemperate (3-10°C), and subtemperate (less than 3°C). forests by the 18°C and 6°C cold-month means.

  • The Laurel Or Bay Forests of the Canary Islands
    California Avocado Society 1989 Yearbook 73:145-147 The Laurel or Bay Forests of the Canary Islands C.A. Schroeder Department of Biology, University of California, Los Angeles The Canary Islands, located about 800 miles southwest of the Strait of Gibraltar, are operated under the government of Spain. There are five islands which extend from 15 °W to 18 °W longitude and between 29° and 28° North latitude. The climate is Mediterranean. The two eastern islands, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, are affected by the Sahara Desert of the mainland; hence they are relatively barren and very arid. The northeast trade winds bring moisture from the sea to the western islands of Hierro, Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria. The southern ends of these islands are in rain shadows, hence are dry, while the northern parts support a more luxuriant vegetation. The Canary Islands were prominent in the explorations of Christopher Columbus, who stopped at Gomera to outfit and supply his fleet prior to sailing "off the map" to the New World in 1492. Return voyages by Columbus and other early explorers were via the Canary Islands, hence many plants from the New World were first established at these points in the Old World. It is suspected that possibly some of the oldest potato germplasm still exists in these islands. Man exploited the islands by growing sugar cane, and later Mesembryanthemum crystallinum for the extraction of soda, cochineal cactus, tomatoes, potatoes, and finally bananas. The banana industry is slowly giving way to floral crops such as strelitzia, carnations, chrysanthemums, and several new exotic fruits such as avocado, mango, papaya, and carambola.

Martin Received: 30 August 2016; Accepted: 5 November 2016; Published: 12 November 2016 Abstract: The ecological second-order phase transition model has been used to describe height-dependent changes in the species composition of mountain forest ecosystems. Forest inventory data on the distribution of various tree species in the Sayan Mountains (south Middle Siberia) are in good agreement with the model proposed in this study. The model was used to estimate critical heights for different altitudinal belts of vegetation, determine the boundaries and extents of ecotones between different vegetation belts, and reveal differences in the ecotone boundaries between the north- and south-facing transects. An additional model is proposed to describe ecotone boundary shifts caused by climate change. Keywords: ecotone; boundaries of ecotones; mountain forest ecosystems; biodiversity 1. Introduction Any plant community has its own species composition and spatial structure. Within the space occupied by the community, it may be regarded as uniform and characterized by spatially invariable parameters. The boundaries of a community are determined by the effects of external modifying factors (such as temperature) on the plants and competitive interactions between the species that are not characteristic of this community but are present in the neighboring one [1,2].

  • Latitudinal Gradient in Leaf Defense Traits of Woody Plants Along Japanese Archipelago
    Latitudinal gradient in leaf defense traits of woody plants along Japanese archipelago 日本産樹木種における、葉防御形質の緯度傾度 Saihanna 1 General Introduction It is estimated that over the twenty million species of organisms are living on our planet, and all of these organisms adapted to their own living environment, namely niche (Hatchinson 1957). Not only the abiotic factors but biotic interaction plays a key role in the maintenance of biodiversity. Animal-plant interactions are one of the most important topic in community ecology (e.g. Morin 1999). Plants and herbivore insects have accounted for about half of the entire diversity on the earth (Strong et al., 1984). Plant-herbivore interactions are extremely complex, which should lead the tremendous diversity of both plants and herbivores (e.g. Gutierrez et al., 1984; Hay et al., 1989). Although the interaction between these two components, namely co-speciation, should account for this diversification, most of the studies so far, tend to explain this interaction only from one side of them. Plants have interacted with insect herbivores for several hundred million years, which should lead to complex defense systems against various herbivores (Fürstenberg-Hägg et al., 2013). This interaction between plants and herbivores has long proposed the opportunity for studying the mechanism of the creation and maintenance of biological diversity because of its universality and generality (Strong et al. 1984; Ali and Agrawal 2012). It is believed that the evolution of plant defense traits followed by counter-adaptations in herbivores could lead to bursts of adaptive radiation of both components (Ehrlich and Raven 1969). Understanding the coevolution of plant and insect species and macroevolution of adaptive traits has inspired biologists for some decades, yet has been challenging to study even present days (Schluter, 2000).
