Aridity drives plant biogeographical sub regions in the Caatinga, the largest tropical dry forest and woodland block in South America
Our aims were to quantify and map the plant sub regions of the the Caatinga, that covers 844,453 km(2) and is the largest block of seasonally dry forest in South America. We performed spatial analyses of the largest dataset of woody plant distributions in this region assembled to date (of 2,666 shru...
