Name: Matayba oppositifolia - Pseudolmedia spuria Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Submontane successional forest codominated by <i>Matayba oppositifolia</i> and <i>Pseudolmedia spuria</i>, occurring at 200-600 m elevation in western Cuba. In the remaining stands of this forest community, the tall emergent trees are usually absent, and the most valuable timber-producing species such as <i>Cedrela odorata, Swietenia mahagoni, Manilkara grisebachii</i> and <i>Cynometra cubensis</i> are very rarely seen. This selective cutting and logging has lead to the overwhelming dominance of <i>Matayba</i> and <i>Pseudolmedia</i> and the over-representation of <i>Roystonea elata (= Roystonea regia)</i> as well. <i>Cecropia shreberiana</i> also may become abundant in places. DISTRIBUTION: West Cuba: Sierra del Rosario, Pinar del Rio prov.
