Summary
| Description | I´ve been calling this type of high, almost sub-alpine, forest "cloud forest" due to the conspicuous overwhelming presence of hair lichens draping every surface. (In this case an Usnea species, but in North America it would be the functionally equivalent though unrelated Ramalina thrausta and Alectoria sarmentosa.) This lichen is a clear indicator of frequent occurance of mist or fog. In this case, likely due to frequent occurrance of fog from mist rising from lakes in the morning, and sinking clouds in the late afternoon originating in incompletely formed thunder heads. (Something I saw several times in the few days I was there.) |
