Introduction,e nineteenth century. Its unique biodiversity and – until very recently at least – relatively intact ecosystems have earned it the status of a World Heritage Site, and the islands are frequently referred to as the “Galápagos of the Indian Ocean”. Despite its small size, the archipelago is one of the委托 发表于 2025-3-25 16:21:05
Topography, Climate and Soils,ivided into three main topographical regions: (1) the granitic Hagghier mountains; (2) limestone plateaus, which occur between 300 and 700 m and occupy by far the largest part of the island; and (3) coastal plains.

Geology,tively long duration of isolation. Post-Lower Miocene uplift with arching, block-faulting and tilting has played a major role in the present structure and morphology of the island.

Ecology and Adaptive Strategies,ailed studies have been carried out on adaptive features of Socotran plants to their environment, and the information that is forthcoming mainly relates to plants of the desert plains in both the north and south of the island. In this chapter, some key adaptations to arid desert environments are dis等级的上升 发表于 2025-3-26 11:12:10
Vegetation,xposure, rainfall and substrate are responsible for a broad spectrum of different habitats, ranging from deserts to evergreen forests within a relatively small area on Socotra. A concise overview of the vegetation of the islands along an altitudinal gradient is presented in this chapter. As a considagglomerate 发表于 2025-3-26 14:54:46

Based on their extensive field experience of the region, the authors have assimilated a vast amount of knowledge to produce this book, which gives a detailed insight into the plant ecology of Socotra, designated as a World Heritage Site by UNES
