Dry sub-tropical forest - In general, in this region are two areas of life, according to the classification of Tassaico (1967), based on Holdridge: subtropical dry forest, as is the case of Bahia de Las Aguilas and subtropical thorn scrub. However, within these two macroforms is a great diversity of plant associations. The flora and vegetation are specialized to adapt to drought conditions, lack of soil, salinity, wind speed, among other circumstances.
