The community is remarkable in three aspects : its size (with 2122 palms/ha, and the highest density on water-logged soils) ; its great diversity (32 species/1.2 ha), which also depends on the hydromorphic condition of the soil ; and its variety of biological forms with characteristic acaulescent palms in the understory, monocaulous and multiple-stemmed palms in the upper understory, and arborescent palms only reaching the canopy in the seasonal swamp forest.
