Characterization of the vegetation of the El Retiro Natural Reserve, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba
The studies of flora and vegetation that have been carried out in El Retiro Natural Reserve have been limited to some of its sectors, so there is still no information about the structure of its vegetation formations and the relationship between them. Therefore, the objective of this research was to...
