VALENZUELA NUNEZ, L. M.  and  GRANADOS SANCHEZ, D.. Physiognomic characterization and ordination of the vegetation in El Salto, Durango, Mexico. Rev. Chapingo ser. cienc. for. ambient [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.29-42. ISSN 2007-4018.

According to a synecologic characterization of the vegetation in a near area to El Salto, Durango, Mexico, are reported eight vegetation units. This was done according to semi realistic profiles and Dansereau diagrams that describe the physiognomic characteristics of each unit. Also was elaborated a floristic list. The units were ordinated and classified numerically, showing that the latitudinal and topographic gradients influence the floristic composition across the study area.

Keywords : Durango region; soils; vegetation; forest.
