In the upper austral zone plant life is dormant for a very short period, 

 two to three months only. This is in fact the lowermost zone in which a 

 complete winter cessation of vegetable activity occurs. Agriculturally the 

 Atlantic division of the upper austral zone is of even more importance 

 than that of the transition zone, since in it flourish a large proportion of 

 the important crops of the latter, while in addition many wholly absent 

 from the more northerly zone reach their highest state of perfection. 

 The principal crops of the Atlantic division of the upper austral zone 

 (' Carolinian faunal area ') are thus tabulated by Merriam ('88, 

 P- 31-36).
