Spanish term or phrase: gráfico cliserie
"...aparecerá un gráfico cliserie de las montañas de La Rioja..."

From what I can gather, this is a graph showing the vegetation of an area, but as the word does not sound at all Spanish, I'm wondering if this is also used in English. I can't seem to find any references, though, to a "cliserie graph"!

clisere
Explanation:
El efecto que estas diferencias de temperatura y humedad tiene en la distribución altitudinal de la vegetación es trascendental. En la cliserie se suelen diferenciar cuatro pisos: basal, montano, subalpino y alpino, situados a diferentes alturas y con diferentes espesores según y la vegetación las distintas montañas y orientaciones. En realidad la cliserie es la sustitución de una comunidad de plantas por otra debido a un cambio en las condiciones del clima. Se puede producir en un mismo lugar a lo largo del tiempo, o por los cambios que introduce en el clima la altitud de una montaña. Antiguamente se decía climaserie.

Bioclimatic belts are defined as the successive types of groups of physical media along an altitudinal or latitudinal clisere. They are not the same as vegetation belts which are the plant community complexes or vegetation seres along an altitudinal cliseries.

agree  James A. Walsh: VERY well researched Taña, impressive! I did lots of searching for this one but came up with very little, so go you! 'Altitudinal clisere' gets good search results.... ;.) PS: You're Very welcome Taña :)

Reference information:
in Google I found references to "Sarmiento 2000" with the term cliserie, and here is what appears to be his dictionary (containing "cliserie"), which may be useful to you for other parts of the text. Agree with Taña
