Modeling spatial patterns of plant distribution as a consequence of hydrological dynamic processes in a venezuelan flooding savanna ; Modelo espacial de distribución de plantas como consecuencia de la dinámica hidrólogica en una sabana inundable venezolana

This study presents the main results of the analysis and integration of ecological ordination and spatially explicit relationshipsinto an ecological-spatial model. This allows understanding, evaluating and predicting the distribution of dominant plant species in a changing flooding savanna landscape affected by embankments in the plains of the Orinoco river (Llanos del Orinoco), Venezuela. An ecological analysis of the relationship between plant species and environmental factors (relative altitude and soil water content), and species response using Gaussian logistic models was carried out. The... Mehr ...
