Abstract

Two former volcanic explosion craters now containing shallow fresh water lakes, and one former embayment now containing a shallow brackish water pond were surveyed over a four year period from 1992 to 1996 with attention being focused on their surrounding vegetation cover. The three sites, which are situated in central and north-east Grenada, dis­play a harmonious balance between natural and cultivated land-use. Comparisons are made based on land ownership, the vegetation, climate, soil, ecology, and human disturbance.
