Name: Magellanian Montane Tundra Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup includes those communities growing at the highest elevation of the temperate southern Andes in Argentina and Chile, and/or under extreme conditions mainly in terms of substrate. The most extended one is a dense to semi-open bunch grassland growing on shallow, well-drained soils dominated by <i>Hierochloe juncifolia, Poa fueguina, Elymus andinus, Festuca monticola, Festuca gracillima, Bolax gummifera, Baccharis nivalis, Senecio trifurcatus</i>, and <i>Erigeron myonites</i>. Small-patch communities restricted to soils that experience solifluction are interspersed with the grasslands and are dominated by <i>Adesmia parviflora</i> and <i>Perezia megalantha</i>. Also included are the communities restricted to rock outcrops and stony, steep slopes, dominated by woody and suffruticose camephytes with <i>Baccharis nivalis, Senecio subdiscoideus, Nassauvia lagascae, Leucheria hannii, Discaria chacaye, Berberis empetrifolia, Senecio subumbellatus</i>, and <i>Caltha apendiculata</i> as diagnostic species.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:41023-{1A2B0A89-B053-41CA-A6F1-3D2D7EDB1E5B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
