Science - Geography / Macroforma
Spanish term or phrase: macroforma
This is in an academic paper studying geography.

"El país tiene cinco macforomas , distribuidas de este a oeste, la Cordillera de las Andes..." etc.

Thanks for any help. Seems like they are trying to say five major ecosystem types or terrains but I can't find a similar word in similar English papers.
