Footnote: "Forested areas in the western slope of the Peruvian Andes (like Bosque de Zárate) follow a patchy distribution, they are sometimes called dry cloud forests. They are usually present between 2500 to 3200 m, at an altitude where mist is frequent during the wet season, and are more abundant, larger and denser in North Peruvian territory" (personal correspondence from Arturo Granda, 2007).
