Name: Western Amazon Subandean Humid Forest Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This macrogroup includes the forests growing above 500 and up to 1000-1300 m elevation on the sub-Andean hills of the western Amazon Basin from Sierra de la Macarena in Colombia to central Peru. These are 20-30 m tall, multi-stratified forests, growing in hyper-humid conditions, on well-drained, somewhat acidic soils. The composition is typical of western Amazonian forests but with a few Andean elements from the genera <i>Miconia, Myrcia, Ocotea, Schefflera</i>, and <i>Weinmannia</i>.
