Bioclimatic characterization of the Subtropical Mountain Forests of Yungas at the northern extreme of Argentina: Sierras de Tartagal, Alto Macueta and Alto del Rio Seco (Salta Province).

This article presents a bioclimatic characterization of the Subtropical Mountain Forests of Yungas in the northern extreme of Argentina. The study used the Bioclimatic Classification of Earth methodology to determine the bioclimatic units and vegetation belts of the forests. The results show that the forests are distributed within the Tropical Macrobioclimate and Tropical Pluviseasonal Bioclimate, with specific thermotypes and ombrotypes. This study provides valuable information for future research on floristic, vegetational, ecological, and biogeographical studies, as well as for the conservation and sustainable management of native forests in this region.
