Cloud Forests

Among the many diverse ecosystems on Earth, cloud forests are one of the most unique. Cloud forests are typically tropical or subtropical forests that exist throughout the world at higher elevations. They are characterized by their high levels of biomass and their constant cloud cover due to high elevation and humidity. These unique conditions create interesting circumstances for a wide range of organisms that often vary from cloud forest to cloud forest as they can be found on a wide range of continents and can differ from one another greatly.
