Dominant or conspicuous taxa of secondary and roadside vegetation in the Maquipucuna region, between 11 50 and 1500 m -- Appendix B. Dominant or abundant taxa of primary cloud forest (lower montane forest), 1700-2000 m -- Appendix C. Dominant or abundant taxa of upper montane forest, 21 00-2750 m -- Appendix D. Dominant and conspicuous taxa in riparian vegetation, 1 125-2000 m -- Appendix E. Distribution of epiphytes in the Maquipucuna vascular flora -- Literature Cited -- PlatesBased on work spanning a decade, this study of the Maquipucuna area on the western slopes of the Andes discusses the climate, vegetation, ecological relationships, and flora, and emphasizes the importance of the Maquipucuna area as a biological reserve. In addition to the checklist of the flora, which enumerates 1,650 species (including 228 species of pteridophytes and over 200 species of orchids), appendices give information on floristic composition of communities, distribution of epiphytes, and elevational ranges of families and genera. The illustrations include a map, landscapes, and characteristic species.University of California publications in botany ;v. 82.BotanyEcuadorBosque Protector Maquipucuna RegionBosque Protector Maquipucuna (Ecuador)andes.biodiversity.botany.climate.cloud forest.conservation.ecology.ecuador.environment.environmentalism.epiphytes.flora.forest.habitat.life sciences.maquipucuna.mountains.natural sciences.natural world.nature preserve.nature.nonfiction.orchids.plant diversity.plant sciences.plant species.plants.pteridophytes.rainforest.science.wilderness.yumbos.Botany581.9866/13WI 9240rvkWebster Grady L(Grady Linder),1927-1502734Rhode Robert M(Robert Martin),1961-1502735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778076503321Plant diversity of an Andean cloud forest3730666UNINA
