Name: Magellanian Temperate Evergreen Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup represents the austral Magellanic forests, usually dominated by <i>Nothofagus betuloides</i>, with a canopy 8-15 m tall on average. These are very dense and humid forests with a subcanopy of small trees and shrubs, rich in epiphytes and a characteristic lower stratum consisting of a dense and waterlogged mass of bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and lichens, completely covering the forest floor, forming mounds up to 2 m in height and creeping on tree trunks up to more than 4-5 m high. This description corresponds to occurrences with a western aspect, which are influenced by the moisture and rains of oceanic origin, while the eastern slopes do not have the cover of bryophytes and epiphytes. The diagnostic species are <i>Nothofagus betuloides, Mitraria coccinea, Maytenus magellanica, Desfontainia spinosa, Podocarpus nubigenus, Berberis ilicifolia, Saxegothea conspicua, Drimys winteri, Chusquea macrostachya, Luzuriaga marginata, Blechnum magellanicum</i>, among others.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40911-{A88B3DB0-9922-4CB2-B036-8D592A0E55CF} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
