Subject: Re: land use/land cover maps of South Pacific countries (fwd)

An atlas called
Vegetation of the tropical Pacific Islands, Dieter Mueller-Dombois,
Springer, 1998,
covers one of the topics.

This web site
http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/branner/vegmaps.htm
has a Checklist of Online Vegetation and Plant Distribution Maps

For other material on the vegetation topic use library catalogs or
WorldCat with as subject heading "[place] phytogeography" or [place]
phytogeoography maps", like this:  Philippines phytogeography.
