Spanish term

extrema vegetación

Spanish to English Science Geography
This is actually from a text by a contemporary Argentine critic; the references to Marco Polo and Khan are from Italo Calvino's Insible Cities:

No quiere preguntar a Marco Polo por las orillas ni está interesado en lo que transita por el puente y no puede hacerse cargo del «efecto borde» que el puente, más allá de sus piedras, estructuras y arcos, produce: la ciudad y el campo, el bosque y la pradera, la extrema vegetación y el desierto

Is this "dense vegetation"? Thanks
