I have spent the last 4 weeks between the cloud forest and puna vegetation. The puna is a high elevation grassland at around 4000 m a.s.l. It is located in the Peruvian Andes above the cloud forest. The climate is very wet, because several times a day the clouds from the Amazon move upwards and bring fog and rain. The Puna has an high diversity of grasses, forbs, bryophytes (mosses) and lichens.

The last weeks, I have been teaching on the plant functional trait course about ecology, traits, data collection, data management and reproducible coding.
