Title of Article:Plant and Animal Life Author: Henk Meijer #1

Direct Quotation:Henk Meijer states in Plant And Animal Life that Gradients of salt and
winter temperature variations cause relatively minor zonal differences in both wild and
garden plants from the coast to more continental regions.

Summary: In the article Plant AND Animal Life, Henk Meijer states that most wild Dutch
plant species are of the Atlantic district within the Euro-Siberian phytogeographic region.
Vegetation from coastal sand dunes, muddy coastal areas, slightly brackish lakes, and river
deltas is especially scarce in the surrounding countries. According to vegetation animal
life is relegated. Migrating birds pass through the Netherlands or remain for a summer or
winter stay in huge numbers. Some species, such as boars, beavers, fallow deer, mouflons,
and muskrats, have been introduced locally or reintroduced.
