Forest biodiversity assessment in Peruvian Andean Montane cloud forest [PDF]
Journal of Mountain Science, 2012 Cloud forests are unusual and fragile habitats, being one of the least studied and least understood ecosystems. The tropical Andean dominion is considered one of the most significant places in the world as regards biological diversity, with a very high level of endemism.
