The Center has prepared a study of the bioregions in the Kingdom on the
basis of the prevailing climate and environmental conditions. It aimed at
specifying the temperature range, annual rainfall, percentage of evaporation and
transpiration, in order to arrive at a clear picture of the climate and aridity,
and its relationship with plant formations in the Kingdom. Awareness of the
bioregions derives its significance from the fact that it is a good source of
environmental, climatic, terrestrial and biological information which is
required by development plans to design the agricultural policy needed to
develop renewable natural resources, particularly with regard to those factors
which play an important role in the growth of plants, and identification of
environmental factors which abet usage of modern methods to arrive at
environmental equilibrium and sustainable environmental development.
