Composición y diversidad florística de bosques secos en la Meseta de Cacaxtla, Sinaloa, México

Abstract

The floristic composition, richness ( S ), heterogeneity ( H’ ), evenness ( J’ ) and similarity were studied inside and between the tropical deciduous forest (BTC) and thorn scrub (BE) of four sites from the Area of Protection of Flora and Fauna Meseta de Cacaxtla, Sinaloa, and and 0.479. The comparison between Las Labradas (BE) and El Rancho Las Palomas resulted in a lower number of shared species, presenting the highest rate of species turnover between both dry forests. The floristic composition and diversity were high in the representative dry forests of the Meseta de Cacaxtla.
