El Bosque seco Tropical (Bs-T) se define
como aquella formación vegetal que presenta
una cobertura boscosa continua y que se
distribuye entre los 0-1000 m de altitud;
presenta temperatura superiores a los 240 C
(piso térmico cálido) y precipitaciones entre
los 700 y 2000 mm anuales, con uno o dos
periodos marcados de sequía al año (Espinal
1985; Murphy & Lugo 1986, IAVH 1997). De
acuerdo con Hernández (1990) esta formación
corresponde a los llamados bosques
higrotropofíticos, bosque tropical caducifolio de
diversos autores, bosque seco Tropical de
Holdridge, y al bosque tropical de baja altitud
