mistbelt

Definitions

Noun. [B2]

Examples

“It seems to me that its place⟳ in South Africa is along the subtropical coast, or in the mistbelts where frost is usually absent.”

“The species grows mainly as epiphyte in shady wet⟳ forests, but also lithophytic on wet⟳ rocks, preferably in the mistbelt of escarpment forests, rarely chasmophytic in humus pockets on rocks (God's Window, eastern Transvaal).”

“The region is bounded roughly as follows: in the west by the Umtamvuna River; in the south and east by the 900 m a.s.l. contour line - below this the climate is too warm and dry for mistbelt grassland; and in the north by high ground above about 1 300 m a.s.l. where the clamate becomes too cold for mistbelt grassland.”

“Similarly, high rainfall mistbelt areas have⟳ much cloud cover⟳ in summer that lowers photoassimilation.”
