Table 1. Environmental and climatic characterization of Copaifera langsdorffii populations.
In brackets are the values of interannual variation in climatic variables (coefficients of variation, CV = SD mean-1, expressed as percentages). Data were obtained from the Brazilian National Meteorology Institute (www.inmet.gov.br) for the period 1961–2014.
