We obtained the data through sampling units placed regularly in a grid of 10 km 10 km in the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The axes of Detendred Correspondence Analysis summarized the vegetation structure and we used these as response variables in ordinary least square models, and environmental variables as predictors. Moran Eigenvector Maps were used as spatial predictors, enabling the variance partitioning. The results revealed influence of climatic factors, especially thermal and rainfall in determining the vegetation structure. The physical geography (high plateaus) and positioning below the Tropic of Capricorn line are the main static elements influencing the climate and therefore the vegetation.  aClimate  aRain forests  aAltitude  aAraucaria  aClima  aEstrutura florestal  aMata atlântica  aSubtropical forests1 aUHLMANN, A.1 aGASPER, A.
