Name: Southern Mistbelt Forest Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Afrotemperate forest macrogroup of the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, distributed on the south- and southeast-facing slopes of the Great Escarpment, and further north, between the Northern Mistbelt forests and the Scarop forests. Their altitudinal range is 850-1600 m. The forest communities are mostly tall (<20 m) and with multiple strata growing on deep, rich, loamy soils, while the ones in the lower scarps are shorter forests due to the shallower soils. Dominant tree species are <i>Afrocarpus falcatus, Apodytes dimidiata, Celtis africana, Chionanthus foveolatus, Chionanthus peglerae, Cunonia capensis, Curtisia dentata, Kiggelaria africana, Podocarpus henkelii, Rapanea melanophloeos, Rhus chirindensis</i>, and many others.
