The Sri Lanka montane rain forests is an ecoregion found above 1,000 m in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Owing to their rich biodiversity, this region is considered to be a super-hotspot within endemic hotspots of global importance. These forests are cooler than lowland forests and therefore they have ideal conditions for growth of cloud forests. These forests classifications tropical sub montane forest, tropical sub-montane and tropical upper montane. Half of Sri Lanka's endemic flowering plants and 51 percent of the endemic vertebrates are restricted to these forests. More than 34 percent of Sri Lanka's endemic trees, shrubs, and herbs can only be found in this ecoregion. Twisted, stunted trees are a common sight in these forests, together with many varieties of orchids, mosses and

dbo:abstract
  • Les selves pluvials montanes de Sri Lanka són una ecoregió que es troba per sobre dels 1000 m a les terres altes centrals de Sri Lanka. A causa de la seva rica biodiversitat, aquesta regió és considerada un super-hotspot dins de la zona d'endemisme d'importància global. Aquests boscos són més freds que els boscos de les terres baixes i, per tant, tenen unes condicions idònies per al creixement dels boscos ennuvolats. La meitat de les plantes florals endèmiques de Sri Lanka i el 51 per cent dels vertebrats endèmics estan restringits a aquests boscos. Més del 34 per cent dels arbres, arbusts i herbes endèmics de Sri Lanka només es troben en aquesta ecoregió. Els arbres retorçats i poc verticals són una vista comuna en aquests boscos, juntament amb moltes varietats d'orquídies, molses i falgueres. Els arbres de boscos tropicals de muntanya creixen fins a 10-15 metres, més baixos que els arbres de forest pluvial de terres baixes de Sri Lanka, ecoregió veïna. Aquests boscos d'alta altitud són l'àrea de captació de la majoria dels rius principals de Sri Lanka. (ca)

More than 34 percent of Sri Lanka's endemic trees, shrubs, and herbs can only be found in this ecoregion. Twisted, stunted trees are a common sight in these forests, together with many varieties of orchids, mosses and ferns. The trees of montane rain forests grow to a height 10–15 meters, shorter than the lowland rain forest trees. These high altitude forests are the catchment area for most of Sri Lanka's major rivers.
