Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Vegetation Megatransect

Northern portion
, from 23 degrees north to 31 degrees north latitude, moving West to East, along each degree of north altitude, compiled from pictures from the Confluence.org project.

Southern portion of this megatransect is at Saudi_mega.html


Compiled by Craig Dremann, (650) 325-7333, for scientific study of what a large-scale, continent-sized ecological and vegetation photo megatransect could possibly look like, photos copyright by the photographers that are listed on the pages at confluence.com. Photos on this web page are used here with written permission from the Confluence Project. Some photos have been cropped or contrast enhanced, to more clearly show the vegetation.

Dots trace the route of the two megatransects. Marked in green, are the best areas, that should be preserved as Ecological Restoration preserves. Marked in blue are the sites of the ancient 6,000 year old lake beds.

ER = is a rating for each site, as to their Ecological Restoration potential, and the following numbers from 0 to 4 rate the site as follows:

0 = No native vegetation is visible, and no soil with organic matter seen.
1= < 1% cover; or zero cover, but organic matter still appears to be in the soil.
2 = Fair plant cover.
3 = Good plant cover.
4 = Excellent plant cover, should be preserved as an ecological restoration site.

18N 42E in the southern portion of this megatransect is the best example of native acacia/grassland habitat in all of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia so far seen, and what much of the Arabian peninsula could look like, with an annual program and significant investment in ecological restoration.
