Name: Magellanian Subantarctic Shrubland & Grassland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Grasslands and shrublands of the southern tip of South America and also present in the north half of Tierra del Fuego dominated by the bunchgrass <i>Festuca gracillima</i>. In the southern tip of the continent <i>Festuca gracillima</i> tends to occupy locations of relatively moister conditions due to topography, where it alternates with <i>Poa rigidifolia, Rytidosperma virescens</i>, and <i>Nassauvia darwinii</i>. In Tierra del Fuego it is accompanied by <i>Chiliotrichum diffusum</i> which forms an open shrubland 0.5-0.6 m high, and <i>Empetrum eamesii (= Empetrum rubrum), Gamochaeta nivalis, Baccharis magellanica</i>, where this community forms a mosaic with dwarf forests of <i>Nothofagus antarctica</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40982-{45C5A739-5BAC-4E72-A1FC-77A8CDA101BF} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
