Fitogeografía de ecosistemas secos en la meseta de ignimbritas de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The dry ecosystems in the ignimbrite meseta of Guanacaste, northwest Costa Rica is mapped. Plant community distribution is intimately related to the type of relief, soils and humidity. In the upper parts of the meseta, characterised by soils which are stony, sandy, and acidic, herbacious vegetation...
