Name: Southern Andean Alpine Tundra Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup represents the grassland and shrubland communities growing above 1200 m and up to 1800 m elevation in the temperate, humid, southern Andes of Argentina and Chile. They are dominated by the semi-prostrate, evergreen shrub <i>Empetrum eamesii (= Empetrum rubrum)</i> which forms large "carpets" accompanied by other shrubs, some of them cushion-forming, and tussock grasses. Among these species are <i>Gaultheria caespitosa, Pernettya pumila, Berberis empetrifolia, Azorella incisa, Acaena magellanica, Festuca monticola, Quinchamalium andinum, Senecio magellanicus, Viola reichei, Adesmia parviflora</i>, and <i>Oreopolus glacial</i>. This community alternates with deciduous forests of <i>Nothofagus pumilio</i> and replaces them under disturbed conditions.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:41022-{06B333BF-A2C6-472D-8781-C342FCB719F1} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
