Name: Caribbean Evergreen Lowland Rainforest Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group is characterized by forests growing in the lowland and submontane areas of the Caribbean Islands, mostly below 600 m elevation and with total annual precipitation above 1500 mm and reaching over 3000 mm. The canopy of these forests is 30 m or up to 35 m tall and formed by emergent trees, with a middle, more continuous layer 20-25 m high, and a third canopy layer 6-15 m high, all of them very rich in species. The canopy's dominant species vary from island to island. Along creeks, palms are frequent in the understory.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40174-{DFD83DCD-5590-4E71-9E66-FCF2C57E8367} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
