Abstract

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) constitute one of the most threatened terrestrial ecosystems in Peru. That is the important of carrying out studies on their spatio-temporal distribution patterns and floristic composition. The aim of this study is to highlight the effort made by many researchers in the knowledge of the SDTF. However, it is important to complement such studies with still few others about germplasm conservation, seed germination physiology, in vitro conservation protocols, chemistry of natural products and the biological activity of secondary metabolites, reforest devastated areas and carbon sequestration to mitigate the dramatic consequences of climate change.
