Name: Eastern Guianan Montane Humid Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Complex, multi-strata rainforest distributed on metamorphic hills scattered in the central and southern parts of eastern Guiana, in Guyana, Suriname and Brazil between 500 and 1200 m elevation. The ridges can be narrow and very steep, but more often are broad and flat plateaus with shallow soils with lateritic gravel. The slopes are deep clay soils and support the taller, more dense forest, while the tops have a more open-canopy, lower forest. Characteristic species and genera of this forest are <i>Chimarrhis</i> sp., <i>Parinari rodoplphii, Pouteria</i> spp., <i>Trattinnickia</i> spp., <i>Aspidosperma</i> spp., <i>Rheedia macrophylla, Amphirrhox longifolia, Rinorea</i> spp., <i>Petrea macrostachya, Stylosanthes guianensis, Faramea lourteigiana, Psychotria pungens, Psychotria uliginosa, Leandra agrestis, Leandra divaricata, Spermacoce alata (= Borreria alata)</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40858-{9153EC2B-5017-40AD-9DEA-6F0F305EC387} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
