这本解释性小册子随附了法国本地治里研究所1982年出版并于1997年更新的《南印度森林地图》最北端的三张图，其中以1：250 000的比例尺覆盖了果阿、卡纳塔克邦和北方喀拉拉邦的西高止山脉中部的主要森林地区：Belgaum-Darwar帕纳吉（1号图）、Shimoga（2号图）、Mercara Mysore（3号图）。它介绍了这项植被测绘工作的主要概念和方法，以及决定西高止山脉地区植被模式的特定生物气候特征和森林演替，该地区与斯里兰卡一起沿着构成34个世界生物多样性热点之一。每一种森林类型都从地貌、结构、植物区系组成和多样性方面加以描述。还介绍了退化和次级阶段以及森林类型之间的关系。还提供了一份从密集的实地工作中为每种森林类型确定的完整物种清单，沿着有物种生态偏好、物候、频率等方面的说明。根据国际植被绘图所用的标准编纂法，植被图从大地卫星图像中得到解释，显示了森林的实际状况、环境条件（气候、土壤、生物、行政）及其潜力。
This explanatory booklet accompanies the three northernmost sheets of the Forest Maps of South India published in 1982 by the French Institute of Pondicherry, and updated in 1997, which cover at the scale of 1:250,000, the main forest regions of the central Western Ghats, in Goa, Karnataka and Northern Kerala: Belgaum-Darwar Panaji (sheet n°1), Shimoga (sheet n°2), Mercara Mysore (sheet n°3). It introduces the main concepts and methodology of this vegetation mapping exercise, as well as the particular bioclimatic features and forest successions that determine the patterns of vegetation in the Western Ghats region, which along with Sri Lanka constitutes one of the 34 world biodiversity hotspots. Each forest type is then described in terms of physiognomy, structure, floristic composition and diversity. Degradation and secondary stages as well as relationships between forest types are also presented. A complete list of species established for each forest type from an intensive fieldwork is also given, along with indications of species ecological preference, phenology, frequency, etc. Interpreted from Landsat imageries, the vegetation maps show the actual state of the forests, their environmental conditions (climatic, edaphic, biotic, administrative) and their potentialities, according to standard codification used for international vegetation mapping.
