Macaronesian laurophyllous forest
Evergreen laurophyllous forest (laurisilva) on deep soils in the hyper-humid, frost-free fog belt mainly on the northern slopes in the mountains on some Macaronesian islands. The tree and shrub canopy is very diverse and rich in endemics, with striking differences related to climatic conditions across the different island groups, local topography and long isolation of the floras.
