name of type of forest
Trying to find the English translation of this term. This is from an agricultural development project report. The phrase is: ...ejecutaron el proyecto xxx en el Pedemonte Amazónico de Colombia, el Chaco Serrano, el Cinturón hortícola periurbano de La Plata y los Valles patagónicos de Argentina.
I have found several uses of this term, referring to forests in Argentina and Bolivia (the Yungas), but I am unable to determine what the name is in English. For example: - Selva pedemontana (Yungas, subtropical y tropical) ... Las Yungas o selvas de las laderas orientales de los Andes son una intrusión amazónica en el noroeste... - La Selva Pedemontana posee un clima claramente tropical con estación seca, con temperaturas elevadas durante gran parte del año... - La Selva Pedemontana representa la franja altitudinal de bosque más baja, entre 400 y 700m s.n.m., de las Yungas, colindando en líneas generales hacia el este...
Thanks in advance.

Premontane Forest
The "Selva Pedemontana" is also known in Spanish as:
Bosque Pedemontano Subandino
Selva de Transición
Not surprisingly, there are also several names for this in English, including:
Premontane Forest
Subandean Piedmont Forest
Transitional Forest
Compare the Spanish and English abstracts of the academic paper here:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/255721958_Selva_Ped...
"Premontane Forest" is the closest to the Spanish ST, but "Subandean Piedmont Forest" might be more meaningful to an English-speaking readership.

The Forest is found in the north of Argentina and the east of Bolivia. An internet search suggests that its ecosystem is in danger. The jungles or forests of the oriental Andes hillside slopes are an intrusion in the Amazon. The Forest has a tropical climate with high temperatures most of the year, as well as a dry season. The Forest represents the lower part adjoining a line which goes towards the East.
