The region of Wen-Shan Forest District lies in the southern part of the Taipeh Political District, between the northern latitude 24°35' to 25°5' and eastern longitude 121°23' to 121°58' with an area of 329 sq. km. Physiographically, speaking it is the northern extension and branch of the central mountain range of the island, with steep slopes and rugged hills, caped with various types of plant communities. The valleys are deeply cut and rivers with very short courses. Climatically speaking this region, in addition to the attacks of regular typhon-storms, is under the influences of the strong N. E. winter monsoon and the prevailing S. W. summer monsoon, which attack the region steadily and respectivelly. Owing to have such a physiographic complex and such a climatic variabilities, the development of vegetation in this region is extremely complicated with each local small areas. This would give more interests to the plant ecologists to study this particular region intensively. |
