MAE CHAEM
OVERVIEW |
Mae Chaem is a district (Amphoe) of Chiang Mai Province in northern Thailand. The district was established in 1938 as a minor district (King Amphoe). In 1956 it was upgraded to a full district.
The neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Samoeng, Mae Wang, Chom Thong and Hot of Chiang Mai Province, and Mae Sariang, Mae La Noi, Khun Yuam, Mueang Mae Hong Son and Pai of Mae Hong Son Province.
Sharp relief and forest vegetation characterize the Mae Chaem basin. The basin has a wide range of elevation, from 282 m.a.s.l. at its lowest point to 2,565 m.a.s.l. at its highest peak, Doi Inthanon, which is also the highest mountain of all Thailand. Altitude variation induces different climatic zones with distinctive types of natural landcover. Dominant vegetation includes dry dipterocarp and mixed deciduous forests below 1,000 m.a.s.l., tropical mixed pine forest from 900 - 1,500 m.a.s.l. alternating with hill evergreen forest that extends up to 2,000 m.a.s.l., and tropical montane cloud forest above 2,000 m.a.s.l. Steep hillsides with slopes exceeding 25% are a common landscape element, resulting in rates of soil erosion that prevent advanced soil development. Thus, soils are relatively shallow and have limited water-holding capacity. Dominant soil textures are sandy clay loam and clay loam
