A new system for classifying vegetation in South America was tested in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. By studying tree species in 394 sites, researchers found that the vegetation types in the Atlantic Forest matched the new classification system. The study showed that the tree species composition in the region aligns well with the criteria set by the new system, confirming its validity and expanding our understanding of vegetation patterns in the area.
