[English] The island of Hispaniola is located between parallels 17 and 19 N and forms part of the Greater Antilles group in the Caribbean region. It covers an area of 76,484 km2 and has the highest altitudes in the whole ...
Phytosociological study, diversity and conservation status of the cloud forest in the Dominican Republic
(2020)
The study of the forest in rainy environments of the Dominican Republic reveals the presence of four types of vegetation formations, clearly differentiated from each other in terms of their floristic and biogeographical ...
Contribution to the biogeography of the Hispaniola (Dominican Republic, Haiti)
(2010)
This paper, which deals with the geological history of Hispaniola in the general framework of Central America and particularly the Caribbean Sea, aims at revealing the influence of it on other areas. The paper studies the ...
Rain forests in subtropical mountains of Dominican Republic

This article presents a study of the cloud forest dominated by the Prestoea montana (R. Graham) Nichols. This is a hyperhumid forest located in ravines and shaded areas with cloud condensation, and at heights ranging from ...
Analysis of the Pterocarpus officinalis forests in the Gran Estero (Dominican Republic)
(2009)
This paper deals with the geological, historical, bioclimatic and floristic aspects of the northern sector of the Caribbean-Atlantic Subprovince. By means of phytosociological vegetation samples, we focussed our attention ...
Forests and landscapes of Dominican Republic
(2015)
Aims: This, in conjunction with the diversity of the substrates and the fact that the island is home to the highest mountains in the Caribbean and with a high rate of endemic species, allows them to be differentiated into ...
Distribution patterns of endemic flora to define hotspots on Hispaniola
(2016)
Nineteen areas on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) were studied with the aim of determining the distribution pattern of the endemic flora in these areas, and their variability with altitude. The ...
Advances in the knowledge of the vegetation of Hispaniola (Caribbean Central America)
(2018)
The vegetation types and floristic diversity in the Dominican Republic are analysed, a territory with a tropical climate and ombrotypes that range from dry to humid-hyperhumid, due to the Atlantic winds and the phenomenon ...
Establishment of biogeographic areas by distributing endemic flora and habitats (Dominican Republic, Haiti R.)
(2012)
Despite the large number of botanical studies conducted on the flora of the Island of Hispaniola, some of which adopted a floristic or physiognomical approach with a phytosociological methodology, only few have adopted ...
