Ecoanatomy is based on the correlation that exists between environmental factors and some anatomical features, which can be considered as adaptive strategies of plants. To know variation trends of wood anatomical elements according to environmental factors in different types of forest of Peru, 21 species were studied. The results suggest that the quantitative anatomical features most affected by the environmental conditions of an area are: vessel diameter, ray height, vessel length and fiber length. By contrast, the anatomical feature that did not show a clear relationship with environmental conditions was the vessels frequency. To study the adaptation of the conduction system of the species to the environmental conditions, the vulnerability (IV) and mesomorphy (IM) indexes proposed by Carlquist (1977) were used, which act as indicators of the degree of adaptation of broadleaves to their habitat, when evaluating the level of resistance to drought and mesomorphy respectively.The vulnerability index values (VI) determine that Geoffroea decorticans (2,1) and Handroanthus chrysanthus (1,0) from the dry forest are the species that present the greatest resistance to drought. In the case of the mesomorphy index (MI) Cedrelinga cateniformis (90533,8) and Ceiba pentandra (23253,9), species of lowland tropical rainforest, show the highest degree of mesomorphic behavior. Of the total of evaluated species, they apply that belong to the rainforest ecosystems, they present a marked mesomorphic behavior and therefore, a conduction system oriented towards efficiency in water transport, with vulnerability to water stress.
