Abstract
An account of the forest ecology using a slightly modified Wisconsin ordination technique (Bray Curtis, 1957) is given. The river-facing slope is considered preclimax, and the sea-facing slope subclimax, to the climax forest on the flat land. In addition, a secondary element, resulting either from recent disturbance or, possibly, from recently drier environmental conditions, is shown to be present in the climax forest.Keywords
