	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests (PA0407)
		Palaearctic > Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests >
		The mixed forests of the southern coast of the Caspian Sea represent a key habitat for many different species of avifauna.
		Ecoregion boundaries were defined using Hyrcanian and sub-Hyrcanian mesic forests from Zohary’s (1973) geobotanical map of the Middle East.

	Hotspots Revisited
		The vegetation of the Caucasus is quite diverse, including broad-leaved and coniferous forests, subalpine and alpine meadows, montane steppes and woodlands, and semideserts, and depends on both the physical features discussed above and the evolutionary history of the flora.
		There are two refugia of Tertiary flora in the region: the Colchis in the catchment basin of the Black Sea, and the Hyrcanian in the extreme southeastern end of the Caucasus on the Caspian Sea coast.
		Reptile endemics are concentrated in the xeric portions of the hotspot.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests (PA0407) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Caspian Hyrcanian Mixed Forests experience abundant rainfall and snowmelt that runs off the north slope of the Elburz and Talish mountains.
		These lush forests sweep down to the coastal plain south of the Caspian Sea, where they eventully yield to coastal lagoons, swamps, and salt marshes.
		Wetlands along the coast of the Caspian Sea provide wintering habitat and migration rest areas for birds that include Dalmatian pelicans, pygmy comorants, white-headed ducks, and imperial eagles.

	WWF - Caucasus-Anatolian-Hyrcanian Temperate Forests - A Global Ecoregion
		Male Caucasian fl grouse can be seen in the early morning, alone or in small flocks, hopping and flapping their wings as part of a spring mating ritual.
		This Global ecoregion is made up of these terrestrial ecoregions: Kopet Dag woodlands and forest steppe; Caucasus mixed forests; Euxine-Colchic deciduous forests; Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests; Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests; Elburz Range forest steppe.
		An international consortium, BTC Co., headed by BP, are proposing to build a 1700km pipeline to convey Caspian crude oil from Baku in Azerbaijan to Ceyhan on the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean.
