We aimed to analyze how the topography, temperature and rainfall influence the floristic distribution in three different topographic areas and their surrounding vegetation. We addressed three main questions: (i) How is the distribution of species among the topographic areas? (ii) Which abiotic variable is driving this distribution? and (iii) What is the difference among the mountain forests and between mountain forests and the Caatinga vegetation?

地形和气候对半干旱地区新热带山地森林结构的影响

我们旨在分析地形，温度和降雨如何影响三个不同地形区域及其周围植被的植物区系。我们解决了三个主要问题：（i）地形区域中物种的分布情况如何？（ii）哪个非生物变量正在推动这种分布？（iii）山区森林之间以及山区森林和Caatinga植被之间有什么区别？
