Name: Central Guianan Humid Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The macrogroup includes the humid forests of the peneplain of the Caura-Paragua river basins on well-drained or occasionally flooded Ultisols. Evergreen and dense forest, of medium height (15-18 m average), but with emerging trees up to 30 m and relatively few small trees. Diagnostic composition includes <i>Gustavia coriacea, Simaba cedron, Dialium guianense, Protium sagotianum, Alexa confusa, Oenocarpus bacaba, Bocageopsis multiflora, Lecythis corrugata, Micrandra minor, Eschweilera subglandulosa, Catostemma commune</i>. To the east in Venezuela and Brazil, it also includes the piedmontane forests of the Gran Sabana plateau and in Guyana those of the Pakaraima and Roraima mountains, with red soils derived from volcanic intrusive rocks; some of these soils can be derived from the underlying laterite. Among the characteristic species of this type are <i>Crudia oblonga, Brownea coccinea, Icania venosa, Licania laxiflora, Licania heteromorpha, Mora gonggrijpii, Eschweilera sagotiana, Protium decandrum, Pentaclethra macroloba, Quiina indigofera</i>, and <i>Alexa imperatricis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40840-{11239FC6-15CB-4FF6-86BD-D0D7123DB07E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
