Name: Moist Puna Grassland & Scrub Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: In the elevation belt between 3000-4000 m asl, it is common that this vegetation dominated by tussock grasslands intermingled with shrubs is the result of continued alteration of short-statured, semi-dense <i>Polylepis</i>-dominated forests that characterize the ecotone between the timberline of the Andean forests and Puna grasslands in Peru and Bolivia, especially on the eastern slopes of the Andes. These grasslands are characterized by <i>Calceolaria</i> spp., <i>Deyeuxia</i> spp., <i>Festuca dolichophylla, Mutisia</i> spp., <i>Poa asperiflora, Satureja boliviana, Stipa ichu, Stipa inconspicua</i>, and <i>Stipa obtusa</i>, with varying proportions of short, usually microfoliate and resinous shrubs of the genera <i>Baccharis</i> and <i>Eupatorium</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40694-{D89AE076-4C41-4723-9A7C-F2F3F826AEEA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
