LANDSCAPE ENVIRONMENTAL HETEROGENEITY SHAPING TREE COMMUNITY COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE IN RIPARIAN FORESTS by Israel Marinho Pereira, Soraya Alvarenga Botelho, Eduardo van den Berg, Eric Bastos Gorgens, Evandro Luiz Mendonça Machado, Marcio Leles Romarco de Oliveira, Luciano Cavalcante de Jesus França, Múcio Mágno de Melo Farnezi, Anne Prinscila Dias Gonzaga, Everardo Valadares de Sá Barretto Sampaio, Ary Teixeira de Oliveira Filho

“…ABSTRACT Although riparian vegetation is widely recognized for its positive impact on soil and water quality and its role in ecological conservation, there is still a gap in understanding the effect of environmental heterogeneity on tree community composition and structure in riparian landscapes. Riparian forests are ecosystems with abrupt variations in topographic, edaphic, and hydrological features, resulting in the formation of microenvironments with specific plant compositions. …”
