Science - Environment & Ecology / bioclimate zone
French term or phrase: érémique
La région d’étude pour le projet d’exploration sismique de deux périmètres situés au voisinage du plateau de Tademait et entre les deux Ergs oriental et occidental appartient encore au climat de type méditerranéen dans sa variante extrême. De nombreux auteurs intègrent la région dans le bioclimat saharien à hiver tempéré au sens de Emberger équivalent de bioclimat ***érémique*** méditerranéen au sens de Barry et al.


Barry et al. (1972 à 1987) proposent une classification montrant à la fois le caractère saharien et désertique telle que conçue par Gaussen et Bagnouls (1953 et 1957). Il s’agit de l’étage bioclimatique ***érémique*** méditerranéen pour lequel la végétation est une steppe buissonneuse diffuse.

I am not sure how to translate the term 'érémique'.

Many thanks in advance,


Sheila

xxxdf49f: 10:50pm Feb 20, 2006: eremic is the term (pertaining to sandy deserts) - as given by Fr2Engl in the comment to the improper eremitic - would be great if s/he could enter it as a full-fledged answer so we could agree with it! -
xxxdf49f: 10:51pm Feb 20, 2006: ah... never mind... hadn't seen CMJ's answer - sorry! bonne soirée :) -

neutral Flo Demolis: It means the same thing, but I think, if émérique was used in the original instead of désertique, it should be translated by its exact equivalent.// I totally agree with you on that point.

  -> Whether it should be exact or not depends on the context in which it is translated. For a more general publication I would use desertic
