Name: Central Andean (Yungas) Montane & Upper Montane Humid Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Dense, evergreen, 15-20 m tall, multi-strata forests growing between about 2200 and 3500 m elevation on the eastern slopes of the Andes of Peru and Bolivia under humid to hyper-humid climate. They hold a large biomass of epiphytes and woody lianas. In addition to a common floristic base of tropical Andean tree genera (i.e., <i>Podocarpus, Weinmannia, Oreopanax, Hesperomeles, Clusia, Miconia, Myrsine, Brunellia, Ilex</i>) species level composition and dominance vary along their latitudinal distribution. This macrogroup also includes low, semi-sclerophyllous, evergreen forest dominated by <i>Polylepis</i> species, growing between 3000 and 4500 m elevation on rugged Andean highlands, especially glacial cirques and slopes with boulders.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40864-{EE0B4EA8-A7DF-4E69-8F5E-7605B4A26262} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
