particularly high in parts of Söderåsen and in north-east Skåne near
the border toward Blekinge, lower in large areas furthest to the north
near Småland.
This unequalness in distribution is connected with the topography
of the land and the ecology of the species: it is a well-known fact that
the sessile oak prefers broken country and occupies mountain precipices,
hill tops and upper slopes. The regions in which the sessile oak is most
closely accumulated are the areas with great differences as to level in
short distances. Large parts of northernmost Skåne along the border
toward Småland are on the contrary flat, Ihe soil water comes near the
surface and extensive bogs occur.
In certain circumstances the sessile oak may be represented also in
only slightly broken regions, viz. on ridges and table-lands built up of
boulders and gravels deposited in glacial rivers.
