Most studies in forest environments in Brazil, were executed in rain tropical forests. The tropical dry forests are often neglected in terms of research which consequently influences the conservation of these ecosystems. Generating knowledge about this vegetation type is very important for the development of efficient and effective strategies for conservation of deciduous forests and guarantee of social rights of communities on resources of these forests. In this context, the aim of this study is to review the literature on the correlation processes between characteristics pedogeomorphologic and structure of vegetation in deciduous forests along the spatial scale at which these formations are distributed. Being a widely ecosystem marked by climatic stress and hidric interaction a soil-plant and landscape tends to be strongest in deciduous forests than in other types of tropical rainforests. So it is necessary to move forward in conducting research that address the interaction between the various components of the landscape that houses the deciduous forests.
