| description | In this work a descriptive vegetational analysis of the tropical forests, as well as of aquatic and riparian communities in the Gómez Farías municipality is presented. The study area is located in the southern part of the state of Tamaulipas in a physiographical complex of the Sierra Madre Oriental, between 100 and 900 meters above the sea level. The tropical forests were described by means of field samplings analyzing their structure and composition, whereas aquatic and riparian communities were characterized considering a floristic composition criterion. From the six vegetation types encountered in the study site, four corresponded to tropical forests, whose distribution can be associated to the effect of the microenvironmental diversity produced by physiographical heterogeneity. A previous study reported the existence of a Tropical Evergreen Forest for this part of Mexico, but our work indicates that only in areas protected by the physiography, it is possible to find this vegetation variant. Vegetation differences among sampling sites such as understorey densities, diversity levels and clumped distribution patterns of some species are associated to microenvironmental heterogeneity and possible disturbance effects of tropical storms that are common in this part of Mexico. A total of 286 species of angiosperms are reported for the zone. |

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis descriptivo de la vegetación selvática, acuática y riparia de la región de Gómez Farías, localizada en el sur del estado de Tamaulipas en un complejo fisiográfico de la Sierra Madre Oriental, entre los 100 y 900 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Los bosques tropicales fueron estudiados por medio de muestreos de campo analizando su estructura y composición florística, mientras que las comunidades acuáticas y riparias fueron carac-terizadas solamente con base en esta última. Se describen seis tipos de vegetación, de los cuales cuatro corresponden a diferentes clases de selvas tropicales. Esta variedad de cubierta vegetal parece estar asociada a la diversidad microambiental producto de la heterogeneidad fisiográfica. En un trabajo previo realizado en la zona de estudio, se señaló la presencia del Bosque Tropical Siempre Verde, sin embargo nuestro estudio indica que esta comunidad se encuentra restringida a sitios protegidos por la fisiografía. Las diferencias registradas entre los sitios de muestreo, tales como densidad del sotobosque, grado de diversidad, así como patrones de distribución agregada de algunas especies, están asociados a la heterogeneidad microambiental así como al posible efecto perturbador de tormentas y ciclones tropicales comunes en esta parte de México. Se inventarió un total de 286 especies de angiospermas para la zona de estudio.
