FORESTS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA, PUERTO RICO, AND TEXAS
Abstract
Effort was made at classifying and correlating the principal forest types or formations of Southeast Asia, Puerto Rico and Continental United States, as represented by the vegetation of eastern Texas. Information on the floristic composition and structure of a particular forest type, occurring under tropical, subtropical or temperate conditions, is essential for comparative purpose, and is of value to the ecologist, forester, geographer and others. In brief, vegetation is the summation of climate, soil types, and general conditions in a particular environment. Throughout the Report emphasis is placed on analogous and anomalous features of the forests of Southeast Asia, Puerto Rico and Texas. This comparison is based principally on investigations conducted throughout Thailand at intervals during 1963 to 1965; in Puerto Rico in April 1963 and June 1966; and in eastern Texas in September 1966. Other studies, especially on seedlings appearing in successional growth, were conducted in Puerto Rico during 1963 to 1965.
