Figure 1. Maps showing the distribution of oceanic montane vegetation in Europe and Ireland.

(A) Distribution range (red line) of temperate oceanic montane vegetation in Europe. (B) Main areas (red lines) where conditions are currently optimal for the occurrence of oceanic montane vegetation in Ireland, i.e. areas of altitude over 500 m, that are within the area defined as hyperoceanic by [94]; shaded areas are sites designated as the Natura 2000 network of protected areas (including marine sites) on the island of Ireland.
