The climate of the Rupununi savannas is closely examined with particular reference to the effects on moisture conditions of the wet and dry seasons. Two areas are selected where the forest savanna boundary might be climatically controlled. The first is the windward side of the Kanuku Mountains and the other the lee of the Pakaraima Mountains. At the foot of the Kanuku Mountains forest vegetation displays a tendency to extend onto the level savanna surface while savanna tends to extend into the mountains of the Pakaraimas. It was therefore anticipated that the first area would be wetter and the second area dryer than the open savanna. Although the former rainfall is only slightly greater, it is shown from a study of the water balance that the area has only half of the moisture deficit experienced by the savannas during the dry season. It is also demonstrated that in the lee of the Pakaraimas rainfall is so reduced that soil moisture recharge may only rarely be complete. In this instance the aridity is markedly greater than in the savannas. A similar situation seems to exist in the lee of the Kanuku Mountains but is not proved. It is concluded that the uncharacteristic location of the forest savanna boundary in both of these areas is largely due to the differences in the moisture regime caused by the changes in climate.

"The intent of this thesis is to set out new data relating to the climate of the savanna in the Rupununi district of Guyana, and to comment thereon with reference to the causes and continuing existence of that savanna. To indicate the significance of the data and the pertinence of the comments it will be necessary to review recent discussion of the nature and causes of savanna in general. [...]" --

The aim of the thesis is the investigation, initially in ecological terms and subsequently on a regional basis, of a savanna environment in British Guiana. In the examination of the savanna ecosystem, attention was focused initially on the concept of the ecoclimate. This concept provides a means of expressing the influence on plant growth, in terms of moisture availability, of many elements in the ecosystem, principally climate, relief, drainage and the physical condition of the soil. Of the factors examined, climatic fluctuations during the last 12,000 years were considered the most significant, and an attempt was made to relate these to the evolution of the present savanna landscape. In addition to considerations of climatic, pedologic and anthropic factors in the ecosystem, attention was paid to correlations that have been drawn, by some writers, between older landscape surfaces and savannas. Such an interpretation represents a broader, regional approach to a problem that has, in the present thesis, been given more detailed ecological treatment.

South America is an area of fascination and study for geographers and other scholars from around the world, and its land and people have played important roles in the discovery and distribution of civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia. The region has long stimulated a large amount of research across the many subdisciplines of geography, and Thomas A. Rumney collects, organizes, and presents as many scholarly publications as possible in The Geography of South America: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography. Every South American nation is included: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Beginning with an overview of the region as a whole, successive chapters, one per nation, are divided by specific subdisciplines of geography: cultural, social, economic, historical, physical and environmental, political, and urban. Each section is then divided by document type: atlases, books, book chapters, articles from scholarly journals, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations. Although the majority of entries focus on English-language works, selected entries written in Spanish, French, German, and other languages are also included (with the entry titles translated into English and noted accordingly).

The region described is located on the Amazon-Essiquibo divide and forms a tectonic depression in the heart of the Guiana Shield. The major physical aspects, including geology, tectonics, climate, geomorphic processes, drainage and relief conditions are mapped and analyzed. The surficial deposits of the area are identified and mapped and their origin postulated. Special attention is given to the evolution of laterites and laterite landforms. It is suggested that dissection of the laterite plateau and lowering of local base-level in early- and mid-Pleistocene times resulted in a change of vegetation from former forest to the present savanna. The significance of terrace and dune sands, cobbles and boulders of various rock-types, climatic and vegetative changes during the Pleistocene, and erosion surfaces, are evaluated as factors in the evolution of the present northern Rupununi landscape.

This is the first in a series of comparative studies of savannas of South America. The major objective is to provide basic quantitative information on the composition and structure of the vegatation of the savanna ecosystem. This dats is presented in a preliminary form as there is considerable demand for such data by botanists, ecologists, palynologists and geographers currently active in the field.
