Résumé : |
Comparative studies of the spectra of distribution types within the forest communities described in part 2 of the present contributions showed clear differentiations with regard to the geobotanical character of the various vegetation types (fig. 60). In the whole succession of altitudinal belts there are remarkable differences between the western and the eastern part of the Western Himalayas. The altitudinal differentiation of the Eastern Himalayas shows more variety than that in the Western Himalayas, revealing, however, certain similarities in the flora and vegetation to the latter (compare table 4 and 5). In the extratropical Western Himalayas there occur, apart from a considerable number of humid Japano-Himalayan and Sino-Himalayan monsoonal elements many semihumid elements of the deciduous forest flora, as well as semiarid taxa of eumeso-gean or oldmediterranean character. Since the latter also reveal close relations with the Sino- Japanese flora from the genetical point of view the whole of the Himalayasis considered to be part of the Sino-Japanese region. Together with the mountainous areas of South West China, the Himalayas may be regarded as a Himalayan-South-West-Chinese subregion of the Sino- Japanese region. |
