peer agreement (net): +1dwarf forest/elfin forest Explanation: you need to check within your specific context, and where these specific forests in your translation are located. But I think these could work. from what I understand "de altura" means that the reason for the low height of the trees is the altitude of the forest. see what I found in an interesting article about forest terminology in different languages:http://http://www.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/80670e/80670E04... after explaining different terms used to describe forests and how they are used in other languages, the text says: "Each one of these descriptions can represent an element of reality, but the great variety of terms indicates that knowledge and research is still lacking." To doublecheck, I would google both in English and Spanish the location of these forests in your translation to see if this is the term used... good luck¡¡¡ |
