Name: Mediterranean Andean Cool Semi-Desert Scrub & Grassland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup represents the plant communities that develop on the semi-arid Andean slopes of central Chile with very dry Mediterranean climate in transition to the tropical hyper-arid climate farther north. These are very xeromorphic, thorny, open scrubs dominated by <i>Adesmia hystrix, Ephedra breana, Stipa chrysophylla, Viviania marifolia</i>, and <i>Cristaria andicola</i>, usually accompanied by cacti species. The equivalent of this type on the eastern Andean slopes occurs at similar elevation (1800-2800 m) in Mendoza, Argentina, with characteristic composition formed by <i>Larrea tridentata (= Larrea divaricata), Larrea nitida, Fabiana denudata, Schinus fasciculatus, Condalia microphylla, Gymnophyton polycephalum, Stipa sanluisensis, Tephrocactus darwinii, Echinopsis candicans (= Trichocereus candicans), Denmoza rhodacantha</i>, and <i>Lobivia formosa</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:41016-{0894FE5E-606E-4BF3-BFB8-0005D265FCA6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
