Name: Northern Andean Seasonal Dry Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup represents sub-humid forests of the northern Andes. This type of forest occurs in some of the lower slopes of the Andes in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador, generally at the foothills of intermontane valleys or in the transition to seasonally dry areas. The specific composition may vary depending on the floristic region of contact further down in the lowlands, but they share the characteristic physiognomy of seasonally dry tropical forest, with an uneven canopy, less dense understory, fewer epiphytes and shorter stature. The floristic composition includes members of the Fabaceae, Bombacacae, Meliaceae, Bignoniaceae, and Burseraceae as dominant in the canopy layer, and Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae and Cactaceae in the understory.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40830-{DC3143E7-B4BE-463A-A8A1-E62DB33CD4FF} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
