The link above leads to the description of a typical northeastern Brazilian biome. The unique biome entirely in the Brazilian territory, the caatinga ( indigenous designation meaning "white forest", a dry scrub forest, with predominance of a clear appearance during dry periods, sometimes for two or more following years).
It is presently suffering its worst dry period in 50 years, which started in 2011.
