Kolkheti National Park 08: Wetland Kolkhic Forests
Summary
Kolkheti National Park: Relict Wetland Kolkhic Forests. The Kolkheti lowlands include rare species (relics) typical of the tropical and subtropical vegetation that stretched across the Eurasian continent approximately 10 million years ago. A more recent assortment of plants, adapted to the far north, arrived in the Kolkheti area within the past 10,000 years, after the last glacial period.
