Cloud forests are a type of evergreen mountain forest found in tropical areas, where local conditions cause cloud and mist to be frequently in contact with the forest vegetation. One of their most obvious features is an abundance of mosses, ferns, orchids and other epiphytic plants on every tree and rock surface.  (Source:  UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre.)
