Description
Table 1. Classification of the vegetation and terrestrial ecological zones in the Galápagos archipelago, based on A) JOHNSON & RAVEN (1973); TYE & ORTEGA (2011); ZIEMEK (2014); B) WIGGINS & PORTER (1971) and VAN DER WERFF (1979). S-SIDE is the South-side, N-SIDE is the North-side of the island.
| TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGICAL ZONES OR VEGETATION ZONES OF THE GALÁPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALTITUDE (m.a.s.l.) | ||||
| ZONING | S-SIDE | N-SIDE | VEGETATION | |
| A | B | |||
| Littoral (Coastal) zone | Littoral (Coastal) zone | 0 – 10 | 0 – 10 | Mangroves, sandy beaches and dunes, creeping vines, grasses, succulent shrubs and saltbushes |
| Dry or arid zone | Dry or arid zone | 10 – 80 (150) | 10 – 200 (300) | Deciduous trees, shrubs and cacti |
| Transition zone | Transition zone | 80 – 180 (200) | 200 – 500 (600) | Deciduous and semi-deciduous woodland |
| Humid zone | Agriculture zone Scalesia zone Miconia zone Pampa zone | 180 – 1200 | 550 – 1000 | Often mossy evergreen forest, scrub or non-wooded evergreen pampa |
| Inversion zone | High-altitude transition zone | 1200 – 1300 | – | Semi-deciduous woodland just above cloud layer |
| High-altitude dry zone | > 1300 | – | Open scrub. Well above cloud layer | |
