The communities that live in these forests or in their vicinity will be the most affected by this problem. Understanding the structural organization of the East Timor forest flora is, therefore, critical for sustainable management of this natural resource. Thus, the main purpose of this preliminary study was to identify the differences in the floristic\u2013structural behaviors of the woody vegetation. The study is based on data collected by the first National Forest Inventory (2008\u20132010), carried out in two environmentally different districts of East Timor: one drier region located to the north (Bobonaro district) and the other more humid, located in the south (Covalima district). A two\u2010stage sampling method was employed to account for species in 923 sample stations: 480 in the Bobonaro district and 443 in the Covalima district. These data were correlated with environmental variables (altitude, distance to sea, distance to the north coast, distance to roads, and distance to urban areas) and discussed based on the floristic\u2013structural randomness of the species frequencies. Randomness was adopted here as a parameter to quantify the distributional relationship among species with spatial heterogeneity. Results show a higher percentage of species with low frequencies and abundances for the south (lower human pressure), in contrast with the north (higher human pressure). Altitude also emerges as an environmental parameter, since this randomness floristic\u2013structural combination decreases from lower to higher altitudes. This research provides an innovative approach to describing the structural\u2013floristic organization of vegetation, and its correlation with environmental variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11284-013-1089-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,24]],"date-time":"2013-10-24T07:50:38Z","timestamp":1382601038000},"page":"1081-1090","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Structural and floristic behaviors in East Timor forest vegetation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Ant\u00f3nio L.","family":"Cresp\u00ed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology and Environment\u2010CITAB, Botanical Garden and Herbarium University of Tr\u00e1s\u2010os\u2010Montes e Alto Douro Vila Real 5001\u2010801 Portugal"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"URZE\u2010Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Florestal da Encosta da Serra da Estrela Avenida dos Bombeiros Volunt\u00e1rios 8 Gouveia 6290\u2010520 Portugal"}]},{"given":"Teresa F.","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Sciences and Landscape Architecture University of Tr\u00e1s\u2010os\u2010Montes e Alto Douro Vila Real 5001\u2010801 Portugal"},{"name":"Univ Lisboa, CEF, ISA Tapada da Ajuda Lisbon 1349\u2010017 Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carlos Pacheco","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Sciences and Landscape Architecture University of Tr\u00e1s\u2010os\u2010Montes e Alto Douro Vila Real 5001\u2010801 Portugal"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00114864"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00044880"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/WR9910761"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2699.2009.02210.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-5347(00)01822-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1018367630923"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.199.4335.1302"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jbi.12138"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3767\/000651909X475473"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10531-011-0019-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolind.2007.11.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2388156"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.es.18.110187.002243"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","unstructured":"FAO(2004)Global forest resources assessment update 2005.Terms and definitions (Final version).
