I guess I was thinking more two dimensionally. Other than salty ground; I have not walked from forest directly to desert; it is always a fuzzy border of forest to meadow (fuzzy meaning a rather crooked border of trees becoming fewer in number). I haven't seen a forest on a plateau or bordering a cliff; I suppose it could happen, and be an interesting setting. | |

However, couldn't this be explained at least in part by the mountains? If the arid area is lowland in a hot climate, you'd get more favorable growing conditions at a somewhat higher altitude, which could lead to forestation. Then, as you go higher still, conditions no longer support significant vegetation, so you get bare mountaintops. On the other side of the mountains, you are close to the large body of water, resulting in fair amounts of rain and better growing conditions. | |
