Resumen:
The objective of the present work was identify and characterize the
different cover-types in three capybara´s habitat types of the lower basin of the Paraná River (Bajo Delta, Puerto
Constanza and Villaguay) throughout the vegetation features. The different cover-types were defined according
to the covering and dominance of species as well as the relative topographic position. Specific composition and
abundance of the plant species were estimated in each of the different cover-types. These data were analyzed
using a Correspondence Analysis (AC) in each habitat types. The whole floristic composition of the three areas
was compared using a Sperman´s Rank Correlation Coefficient. Results showed that the vegetation of Bajo Delta
and Puerto Constanza was related with variations of the topographic position and, therefore, the flooding levels.
In the Villaguay, on the other hand, vegetation in each cover-type was the results of the tree density and grazing
level. Floristic composition was a adequate indicator of the natural and antropic differences within and among
the different habitat types. Relative topographic position, flooding regime and disturbance level would be the
main factors affecting the vegetation structure in the different cover-types of the three-studied habitat types.
