click to update datacart
Name: Caatinga Seasonal Dry Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The macrogroup represents the seasonally dry deciduous forests that grow in the Brazilian phytogeographic region known as Caatinga, in places with improved moisture or nutrient availability due to topographic location (i.e., slopes of small ridges receiving more precipitation or humidity), or location in areas with richer soils on residual reliefs occupying slightly peripheral positions along the western and southwestern boundaries of the Caatinga (i.e., karstic or limestone substrates in Bahia sites and north of Minas Gerais). They are forest 15-20 m high, with lianas vines and some epiphytes. Besides some typical Caatinga tree species, such as <i>Schinopsis brasiliensis, Tabeabuia impetiginosa, Myracrodrun urundeuva, Pterogyne nitens</i>, diagnostic species of this group are <i>Bauhinia trichosepala, Caesalpinia bracteosa, Pseudopiptadenia brenanii, Pseudopiptadenia contorta, Piptadenia viridifolia, Acacia monacantha, Plathymenia reticulata, Hymenaea martiana</i>, and genera <i>Blanchetiodendron, Goniorrhachis</i>, and <i>Mysanthus</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40829-{D0E48B6F-630D-4D6B-B375-9F4FB06C6C97} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
