The caatinga is the characteristic vegetation of the Brazilian Northeast. This region is quite arid due to the lack of rain. Its rivers remain dry most of the year, with the exception of the São Francisco river. The climate is hot and the soils are fertile, despite being unproductive due to the lack of water.
In this environment, vegetation adapted to the lack of water develops. The plants have developed roots, in order to be able to extract as much water from the soil; succulent stalks, which store water, and small leaves, often turned into thorns, which fall during drought (summer) to reduce water loss through transpiration. Low trees and shrubs and a large number of cactuses predominate. Among the species found in the region, the belly, the catingueira, the umburana, the juazeiro and the mandacaru stand out.
