 vegetation, as are temperate forests, tundras, savannahs, grassland etc. These major vegetation types are broadly governed by the latitude of the region in which they occur. Within these regions variants exist, dependent upon altitude, geographical location and environment, local prevailing micro-climate and soil or rock type. Thus, in temperate regions, beech forests tend to populate chalky soils and oak forests tend to prefer clays and mountain, heath, cliff, estuarine or shore-line areas will have their own variations.

An ecosystem which has reached its climax is more resilient to perturbations (climatic or anthropic) than an artificial plantation.
