relict community A community that formerly had a much wider distribution but now occurs only very locally. Such contraction can be caused by various factors including climatic change (e.g. glaciation). Communities widespread during glacial times may now be restricted to mountain tops (e.g. Upper Teesdale (England) contains an isolated flora characteristic of much of lowland Britain during glacial periods).

These relict forests are critically important for maintaining ongoing ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar’s unique biodiversity, which reflects the island’s geological history.

44 mins confidence: relict woods/forest
Explanation:
Per boschi relittuali si intendono quei boschi ormai ridotti a pochi ettari, che conservano specie diverse da quelle che attualmente sono presenti nei boschi circostanti. In questo caso però, i motivi della riduzione di questi boschi sono legati a cambiamenti climatici, comunque non riconducibili all’uomo.
