Abstract

Plant community management can use multivariate methods to find response patterns and generate hypotheses about possible relationships in species composition with respect to environmental gradients. The objective was to record patterns of distribution and uses of vegetation in the municipality of Catorce, San Luis Potosi. In 2019, six transects were shown, from the foot of the undergrowth to the west of the Sierra de Catorce, an endorheic drainage valley or plain and a low mountain range folded with a hill. Floristic composition, vertical and horizontal structure, and soil characteristics were analyzed at each site. Desert thickets of rosetophile, microphile and thorny forest were found. The indirect environmental factors that best explain the distribution are the porosity of the soil, pH, K, Ca, Fe and altitude, factors that influence the availability of water. The main use of plants is traditional medicinal.
