The island is broadly rectangular in shape. Its topography is generally level, dominated by low plains and a somewhat more elevated interior plateau known locally as the ''álíhoma'' or "upcountry". The island's base vegetation is {{wp|hemiboreal}} mixed forest, where {{wp|coniferous trees}} predominate, but a significant number of deciduous species, such as {{wp|aspen}}, {{wp|oak}}, {{wp|maple}}, {{wp|ash}}, {{wp|birch}}, {{wp|beech}}, {{wp|hazel}}, and {{wp|hornbeam}}, are also found. Much of this native forest has been converted into a forest-farmland mosaic | ||
