Central American Transition Zone

The Central American Transition Zone is a region where the thick, lush forests of Central America meet the mountain ranges and volcanic landscapes. It acts as a natural border, highlighting the shift from the lowland tropical areas to the rugged, elevated terrains. This zone is characterized by diverse ecosystems, climate changes, and varying geological features. It plays an important role in the region's biodiversity, acting as a bridge connecting different ecological zones, and influences weather patterns and human activities like agriculture and settlement. Essentially, it’s the connecting area between Central America’s coastal plains and its mountainous interior.
