ABSTRACT:
Introduction
The Caatinga, a type of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDT), is the only exclusively Brazilian phytogeographic domain, located mainly in the Northeast of the country (SANTOS et al., 2011). Throughout its heterogeneous extent, there are enclaves with characteristic phytophysiognomies due to their geological formations, such as the Chapada da Ibiapaba, Serra de Baturité, Serra de Pirapora and Chapada do Araripe (BATISTA et al., 2018). The latter is located in the extreme south of the state of Ceará, encompassing the states of Piauí and Pernambuco, totaling a territorial extension of 972,605.18 ha (MORO et al., 2015; GUERRA et al., 2020).
