premontane

In Panama we relied on the UNDP vegetation map, again, lumping the following lowland and premontane moist forest components on the southern portion of the continental divide: Tropical Moist Forest, Premontane Rain Forest, and Tropical Wet Forest.

Isthmian-Pacific moist forests 2010

The diversity of habitat types in the dry forest region includes scrub and desert, deciduous tropical thorn-scrub forest, deciduous ceiba forest, semi-evergreen lowland and premontane tall forest, and intermontane scrub.

Biological diversity in Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena 2008

In Panama our linework follows UNDP to include the lower montane wet forest, lower montane rain forest, montane wet forest, montane rain forest, premontane rain forest, and premontane wet forest life zones.

Talamancan montane forests 2010

Within Honduras, Holdridge line zones were again used and linework was derived by lumping lowland dry forest, lowland arid forest, and premontane dry forest.

Central American dry forests 2009

The dry forest previously formed a continuous strip in lowland and premontane areas from 0-800 meters (m) elevation along the Central American Pacific Coast from southern Chiapas to Guanacaste.

They represent one of the few examples of lowland and premontane pine forests in the Neotropics, where the predominant tree species is Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis (pine, ocote), which requires periodic low intensity burns for its regeneration.

Belize 2009

At elevations of 650-700 m., the forests become premontane in terms of vegetation.

Belizian pine forests 2008

Although most of the amphibians and reptiles are found in humid premontane and lowland forests, the only endemic frog in this ecoregion, Rana juliani, is restricted to the Mountain Pine Ridge in the Maya Mountains.

In Belize there is a relatively large premontane area (about 700 meters (m) above sea level), more or less in the center of the country (western strip of Mountain Pine in the Maya mountains), with closed or semi-closed pine forests, and numerous more irregular and smaller fragments that correspond to pine savanna with varying degrees of forest cover.
