| Popis: |
Lower Montane Evergreen Mixed Forests (MEM) in Sri Lanka and South India are composed of tropical taxa. They occur at mid-elevations, as high as 900–1400 m above sea level, in the three main mountain massifs of Sri Lanka and in several ranges of the Western Ghats in nearby southern Kerala and adjacent Tamil Nadu (India). We report on the quantitative floristic composition of stands of this altitudinal zonal formation and determine the dominant arborescent taxa. In all we recognize 12 distinct forest types, 7 in the Western Ghats and 5 in Sri Lanka. |
