Abstract
Studies on floristic composition in the Amazonian region not only improve our understanding of tropical forest ecology and its response to local and regional disturbances but also our ability to predict how future global climate change may affect some of the vital services provided by the ecosystems. In this context, our objective is to evaluate the changes in floristic composition, abundance, richness, and diversity along a gradient of increasing drought along forested ecosystems in the Amazon basin.
