zonally
In horizontal strips
In a manner relating to zones or arranged by zones.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts—climatology, ecology, geography—where phenomena are distributed in bands or belts: Temperature decreases zonally from equator to poles.
The vegetation is zonally distributed across the mountainside.
