세인트루시아, PMA산지의 경관
- Pitons.Management Area (PMA), SAINT LUCIA
* PMA의 산지경관을 지배하는 것은 두개의 인접한 piton(뾰족한 산꼭대기)으로서 바다에서 돌출한 급경사의 화산성 첨탑이다.
* Gros Piton(큰 piton)은 높이가 770m이고 기저면의 직경은 3 km이다. Petit Piton(작은 piton)은 743m 높이이고 기저면의 직경은 1 km 이다.
* The 2,909-ha site near the town of Soufriere includes the Pitons, two volcanic spires rising side by side from the sea (770 m and 743 m high respectively), linked by the Piton Mitan ridge. The volcanic complex includes a geothermal field with sulphurous fumeroles and hot springs. Coral reefs cover almost 60% of the site’s marine area. A survey has revealed 168 species of finfish, 60 species of cnidaria, including corals, eight molluscs, 14 sponges, 11 echinoderms, 15 arthropods and eight annelid worms. The dominant terrestrial vegetation is tropical moist forest grading to subtropical wet forest, with small areas of dry forest and wet elfin woodland on the summits. At least 148 plant species have been recorded on Gros Piton, 97 on Petit Piton and the intervening ridge, among them eight rare tree species. The Gros Piton is home to some 27 bird species (five of them endemic), three indigenous rodents, one opossum, three bats, eight reptiles and three amphibians.
