These vegetation types were found to persist in a so-called intermediate temperate zone, where regions with a warmth index of less than 85℃ months (M) and a coldness index of more than -10℃ M meet. The presence of a variety of vegetation types in a mixed state was likely a result of the temperature environment and refuges formed when vegetation belts shifted following past climatic changes.}, pages = {1--6}, title = {Forest vegetation of the oki islands in the southwestern japan sea}, year = {2007} }
