Name: Didymopanax tremulus - Podocarpus aristulatus - Ocotea wrightii Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Montane cloud forest with a closed 8- to 13-m high canopy and scattered emergent <i>Didymopanax tremulus, Podocarpus aristulatus</i>, and <i>Ocotea wrightii</i> trees attaining 15 m, and eventually 20 m, high. Most common species forming the dense 8- to 13-m tall tree layer are <i>Brunellia comocladiifolia, Trema micranthum, Weinmannia pinnata, Oreopanax capitatus</i>, and the tree-ferns <i>Cyathea fulgens</i> and <i>Cyathea furfuracea</i>. Among the shrubs, probably <i>Miconia selleana</i> is most characteristic. All these component plants support an extensive layer of vascular and nonvascular epiphytes. <i>Arthrostylidium</i> sp. may become locally abundant, especially in disturbed areas. DISTRIBUTION: Hispaniola (Dominican Republic): Sierra de Neiba Occidental; Sierra de Bahoruco; Cordillera Central.
