Being one of the most extensive tropical ecosystems, the seasonally dry tropical forest is one of the least studied. This study aims to determine the floristic composition, structure, and tree biomass of the Refugio de Vida Silvestre Laquipampa, as well as to describe the influence of environmental parameters. For this, ten 50×20 m transects were established. In each transect were evaluated the height and diameter (≥ 10 cm) of all arboreal individuals. Likewise, botanical, and edaphic collections were made. Clustering, phytosociological, multivariate and regression analyzes were applied. 263 individuals were recorded, comprising 33 species, 19 genera and 17 families. The total basal area was 11.73 m2.ha-1 and the average biomass of 152.61 t.ha-1. It was not significantly evidenced that the floristic composition would be related to edaphic variables, however, it was observed that these variables play an important role in the understanding of the fragment dynamics.
