Name: Central Andean Altiplano Salt Flats Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Plant communities developed in the geomorphological playas of endorheic basins of the High Andean salt flats, especially in the vast high plateau of the xeric Puna in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina and on volcanic ridges, approximately between 3500 m and 4500 m altitude. They grow on clayish saline soils (solonetzs, solonchaks) which flood seasonally with a very shallow sheet of water or only get waterlogged. Floristically very endemic, but not so diverse, characteristic species are <i>Sarcocornia pulvinata, Anthobryum triandrum, Atriplex nitrophiloides, Distichlis humilis, Triglochin palustris, Atriplex myriophylla, Baccharis acaulis, Suaeda foliosa, Hymenoxis robusta, Puccinellia hypsophila</i>, among others.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40972-{551D708D-A8F4-40DE-A1E7-2D70839E7077} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
