Patterns of Floristic Differentiation among Atlantic Forests in Southeastern Brazil and the Influence of Climate1
TL;DR: In this article, the variations in floristic composition of both rain and semi-deciduous forests were analyzed in terms of geographic and climatic variables by performing multivariate analyses on 125 existing checklists.
