	ZONING	S-SIDE	N-SIDE	VEGETATION
A	B
Littoral (Coastal) zone	Littoral (Coastal) zone	0 – 10	0 – 10	Mangroves, sandy beaches and dunes, creeping vines, grasses, succulent shrubs and saltbushes
Dry or arid zone	Dry or arid zone	10 – 80 (150)	10 – 200 (300)	Deciduous trees, shrubs and cacti
Transition zone	Transition zone	80 – 180 (200)	200 – 500 (600)	Deciduous and semi-deciduous woodland
Humid zone	Agriculture zone Scalesia zone Miconia zone Pampa zone	180 – 1200	550 – 1000	Often mossy evergreen forest, scrub or non-wooded evergreen pampa
Inversion zone	High-altitude transition zone	1200 – 1300	–	Semi-deciduous woodland just above cloud layer
