Abstract

Studies of the distributions of species of seasonal woodland habitats in South America by means of dot-mappung and phytosociological analyses indicate the presence of three nodal areas: the Caatingas nucleus of arid northeastern Brazil; the Misiones nucleus, comprising a roughly right-angled triangular area enclosed by lines connecting Corumba-Puerto Suarez (Brazil/Bolivia) southward to Resistencia-Corrientes in northern Argentina, and eastward to the upper Uruguay River valley system in Argentinian Misiones and Brazilian Santa Catarina, and thus including most of eastern Paraguay and the west bank of the Paraguay River; and the Piedmont nucleus, which extends from Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Boliva to Tucuman and the sierras of east Catamarca in northwestern Argentina
