High Altitude Cloud Forests
High Altitude Cloud Forests are unique ecosystems found in mountainous regions typically above 2,500 meters in elevation. These forests are characterized by their perpetual cloud cover, which contributes to high levels of moisture and humidity. The combination of cool temperatures, frequent fog, and high levels of precipitation create a lush and diverse environment that supports a wide variety of plant and animal species. High Altitude Cloud Forests are important for biodiversity conservation and play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of high-altitude regions.
