Talk:Valdivian temperate forests

Strange text

• "in disturbed areas of the Valdivian rain forest".

Should that really be disturbed areas?

I think it should be undisturbed areas. 186.9.91.128 (talk) 02:13, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The Copihue grows primarly in areas of forest that have been disturbed in some way, for example by human lodging or natural landslides or mudslides. The copihue is very rare in undisturbed old grown forest. Dentren | ^Talk 11:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Valdivian temperate rain forest → Valdivian temperate forests – This article is about a terrestrial ecoregion. The primary sources agree that the ecoregion is named Valdivian temperate forests – One Earth, Encyclopedia of Life, DOPA Explorer, and WWF. The practice at the Ecoregions WikiProject is to use the ecoregion names used by the primary sources. The current article name, from an undiscussed move, doesn't jibe with those sources. There are temperate rainforests in the ecoregion and they are discussed in the article, but it includes other temperate forest types as well, so the name used by the sources is the more appropriate one for this article.
