FIGURE 5. Number of taxa within elevational (100 m) contour belts in lomas of Ica (arranged north to south). LMQ (Lomas Morro Quemado) 21 identified species (32 total); LA (Lomas Amara and Ullujaya) 78 species; LSF (Lomas de San Fernando) 68 species; LM (Lomas de Marcona) 23 species. The sum of species in all four lomas within each belt is shown on x axis. Note this is not related to biomass (e.g. Tillandsia are low diversity with high biomass) and several taxa occur in more than one band. Some error exists due to collection bias. The lomas profiles are a scaled representation with vertical exaggeration ca. × 8 (see Fig. 4), outline colour corresponds with lomas representation in horizontal column. (illustration: OW).
