The canopy is 80% closed, and there is an understory of shrubs and herbs. Emergent soto trees are some of the largest in the forest, reaching up to 35 meters in height and living up to 500 years.

There are several common plant communities, or associations, which vary in structure and characteristic species. The forests of the region are adapted to the strong seasonal variation in rainfall, including wet-season flooding and dry-season fires. Many trees are deciduous, losing their leaves during
