range catching runoff

French translation: zone de récupération des eaux de ruissellement du massif

Science - Zoology
English term or phrase: range catching runoff
Contexte :

Although preliminary, these results indicate that patches of dense maquis arbustif at the base of the range might be sufficiently moist (possibly because of their location at the base of the range catching runoff) to retain populations of moisture dependant species; whereas these species are either absent or only present in very low densities in other maquis habitats.

bien irrigué, au pied de la montagne


Explanation:
"base of the range" = pied de la montagne.

L'accent est mis sur l'irrigation de la flore, et non sur l'hydrologie (accumulation du ruissellement).




Example sentence(s):
  • This is due to the fault zone being at the base of the range (Wiki - Teton Range)
  • Satin bowerbirds may be seen at the base of the range, beside the Little River (Parks Victoria)
