Tierra templada
Tierra templada is a pseudoclimatological term used in Latin America to refer to places within that realm which are either located in the tropics at a moderately high elevation, or are marginally outside the astronomical tropics, producing a somewhat cooler overall climate than that found in the tropical lowlands, the zone of which is known as the tierra caliente. In countries situated close to the equator, the tierra templada typically commences at an altitude of approximately 750 meters, and extends to about 1,850 meters, where the still cooler tierra fría begins. These thresholds become lower as the latitude increases. The Peruvian geographer Javier Pulgar Vidal used following altitudes: 1,000 m as the border between the tropical rainforest and the subtropical cloud forest 2,300 m as the end of the subtropical cloud forest 3,500 m as the treeline 4,800 m as the puna end Despite the English translation of its name, the tierra templada is not considered "temperate" by climatologists, for most of the areas so designated have average temperatures in their coldest months of above 18°C, thus making them tropical under climate classification schemes such as that of Vladimir Köppen.
