With this purpose, an analytical methodology focused on the description of functional of vegetation, and their potential correlation with the environmental matrices, was elaborated in the present work. Comparison between amplitudes and averages of morpho-ecological variables, here analyzed by Fluctuation Asymmetries (FAs), was the fundament of this methodology, applied on three different areas of Portugal with similar extensions from north, center, and south Portugal (designed as MB, CP, and FS). The results obtained described very similar functional responses for these study areas. The discussion of these results explained them by high resistance for the three study areas, with lower resilience for one of them (CP), recently exposed to intensive forest fires. So, the functional robustness for these areas will be sustained by their relevant resistance, where environmental variability (geomorphology and climatology) will be the cause of the resilience associated. In this context, increases of the forest production pressions and higher frequencies of fires and climate changes will trigger significant changes in the functionality of their vegetation. Changes in the resilience will be necessary in order to maintain the robustness of vegetation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5772\/intechopen.1008900","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,21]],"date-time":"2025-03-21T14:47:00Z","timestamp":1742568420000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Floristic Morpho-Ecological Strategies: Methodological Approach to Characterize Robustness of Vegetation"],"prefix":"10.5772","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Rocha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Margarida","family":"L.R.
