Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production, and Trade, September, 1941Following these rain belts several vegetation zones appear. In the belt of 60 inches or more of rainfall is found the evergreen tropical rain forest, or selva, fringed on the north by a monsoon, or.mixed-deciduous, forest less lofty than the selva and largely leafless during the short dry season. North of this lies the broad savanna, divided into the high-grass, low-tree savanna, or savanna-forest, with its coarse rank growth of grasses 5 to 12 feet high, the acacia, tall-grass savanna, where the fire-resisting trees stand scattered and the grass is good for pasture, and the acacia, desert-grass savanna, or thorn-bush steppe, which is sometimes a treeless savanna. In those sections where rainfall drops below 10 inches, a semidesert belt appears, with only desert shrubs and grasses, gradually changing into the arid desert shrub land of the southern Sahara. Each of these zones yields natural products of com merciai importance, vegetable, animal, or both.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
