SAVANNA AREA AND SEMI-FORESTED SAVANNA BORDERS 



Two principal upland associational divisions, with important bear- 

 ing on mammalian life, are recognizable in the Arid Lower Tropical 

 Zone. These are an arid or semi-arid forest association, and a 

 savanna and savanna border association. The forests are generally 

 continuous along the basal slopes of the mountains and cover irregu- 

 lar contours to near the sea. They also extend as semi-arid belts 

 along the river valleys. Small patches of forest in savanna regions 

 may be the result of softer soil or other local conditions. Open, 

 grassy plains or savannas, often of wide extent, cover generally level 

 areas along the Pacific slope from near the Costa Rican frontier
