- Title
THE REMNANT CEDAR FORESTS OF LEBANON.
- Authors
BEALS, E. W.
- Abstract
The article presents a study on the remnant of cedar and related forests in four municipalities in Lebanon. The study aims to provide additional information on the plant communities where the cedars are part of. The survival of the present remnants has depended on their relative inaccessibility and their sacredness to the local people. The four types of forests include mixed cedar-hardwoods forest, the cedar-fir-juniper forests, the typical single-dominant forests and cedar forests. In the northern part of the region, it states the fir may replace the cedar, but over much of the country's range, cedar forest may have been the climax vegetation.
