This study compared theÁoristic composition of two forest communities located in different altitudes. Associatedwith this comparison, we used a methodology where habitat descriptor variables werescaled and interpreted by the biotic set sampled. We constructed one matrix with scoresgiven to physical, biotic, vegetation, and anthropogenic variables in the Àeld and onematrix with the species sampled and performed multivariate analyses. We found that theÁoristic communities differ between the different altitudes and that the methodology usedshowed signiÀcant variables for the ecological characterization of the sampled habitat.application/pdfCERNEAgrocienciasartículo científico
