The caatinga has a rich phytogeographic diversity, yet the accelerated withdrawal of the original vegetation has generated degradation processes to the biome. In this sense, this article aims to analyze the relationship between climatic, pedologic and phytogeographic conditions and its role in the regeneration of the caatinga located in the Conservation Unit (UC) Municipal Park Lagoa do Frio, located in a region of Sergipe called “Alto Sertão”. To achieve this purpose, the following procedures were performed: literature review and visits to the field with the establishment of transects, longitudinal portions of 50 x 50 m, which was collected and analyzed their climatic data, soil and floristic diversity. It may be noted that the Geoenvironments analyzed are syntheses of soil and climate conditions present in the UC. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of the analysis of natural regeneration levels of Geoenvironments present in this scenic area, with a view to their use in a sustainable manner.
