isolated derelict scrub Explanation: I would put it this way, trying to relate the "relitte", which wants to indicate "what's left", "something remaining from a better situation", like the "relitto" (relic) of a ship. |

isolated relict patches Explanation: As the frequency of extreme drought increases, plant mortality is likely to occur in rapid pulses rather than gradual declines. This may result in isolated relict patches, which may in turn inhibit the ability of plants to recover and expand into more hospitable environments. http://www7.nau.edu/mpcer/direnet/publications/publications_... |
