摘要：

A phytosociological study was carried out along a 450 km transect in tropical southeastern Mexico in order to identify plant communities. Five major plant communities were distinguished and described: Those communities reflect preference of different environmental factors such as soils, precipitation and local relief. Further, the major threats (hurricanes, fires, agriculture) to the vegetation of the study area are discussed.
