Taiwan subtropical evergreen forests : ウィキペディア英語版 | Taiwan subtropical evergreen forests The Taiwan subtropical evergreen forests is an ecoregion that covers most of the island of Taiwan, with the exception of the southern tip of the island, which constitutes the South Taiwan monsoon rain forests ecoregion. The island's concentrated steep mountains host a range of forest types, from subtropical forests in the lowlands to temperate and alpine forests. ==Flora== The coastal plains and lower elevations are covered by evergreen laurel-''Castanopsis'' forests, dominated by Chinese Cryptocarya (''Cryptocarya chinensis'') and ''Castanopsis hystrix'', with scattered stands of the subtropical pine ''Pinus massoniana''. At higher elevations, Japanese Blue Oak (''Quercus glauca'') replaces ''Cryptocarya'' and ''Castanopsis'' as the dominant tree. As elevation further increases, the evergreen broadleaf trees are gradually replaced by deciduous broadleaf trees and conifers. Above 3,000 meters, deciduous broadleaf trees like Formosan Alder ''(Alnus formosana)'' and maple ''(Acer'' spp.) mix with Taiwan Hemlock ''(Tsuga chinensis).'' At the highest elevations, subalpine forests are dominated by conifers, including Taiwan Hemlock ''(Tsuga chinensis)'', spruces ''(Picea'' spp.), and firs ''(Abies'' spp.).
