Figure 53. This photo was taken toward the summit of Analavelona, some 75 km southwest of Ampoza. The upper portion of the massif, largely associated with its orographic position and height, is able to catch passing weather systems with moisture, which produces a very distinct cloud or fog forest. The habitat depicted here is proposed to have been similar to that which occurred in the former Ampoza Forest, with a distinct closed canopy, dense understory, lianas, and epiphytes. The surrounding habitat at the base of the massif and surrounding areas is distinctly dry. (Photograph by Harald Schütz.)
