Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with publication Plants Fungi Catalogue, has been since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil home to 32,086 native Angiosperms 23 Gymnosperms, showing an increase 3% its species richness relation 2010. The Amazon Rainforest richest biome for while Atlantic one Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment number...
A comprehensive new inventory of Brazilian plants and fungi was published just in time to meet a 2010 Convention on Biological Diversity target offers important insights into this biodiversity's global significance. Brazil is the home world's richest flora (40,989 species; 18,932 endemic) includes two hottest hotspots: Mata Atlântica (19,355 species) Cerrado (12,669 species). Although total number known species one-third lower than previous estimates, absolute endemic vascular plant higher...
Biodiversity is declining globally, yet many biodiversity hotspots still lack comprehensive species conservation assessments. Using multiple International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria to evaluate extinction risks and millions herbarium forest inventory records, we present automated assessments all tree the Atlantic Forest hotspot, including ~1100 heretofore unassessed species. About 65% 82% endemic are classified as threatened. We rediscovered five Extinct on...
Red propolis is a new type of Brazilian propolis. This material, as well the secretions 20 plant species that are often mentioned its probable botanical source, have been investigated by RP-HPTLC. Phytochemical evidence based on UV-VIS spectra, RP-HPLC and GC-MS, showed Dalbergia ecastophyllum (L.) Taub. to be main source red in Alagoas state. The resin high relative percentages isoflavonoids 3-Hydroxy-8,9-dimethoxypterocarpan medicarpin. To our knowledge this first report secretion leguminous being
A presença cada vez mais disseminada de organismos exóticos (muitos dos quais se tornam invasores) nas diferentes regiões do planeta levou ao surgimento uma linha pesquisa na ecologia voltada às invasões biológicas. E para permitir a comunicação entre autores também foi desenvolvido um arcabouço terminológico. Mas, apesar disso, terminologia relativa bioinvasões tem sido ignorada por boa parte botânicos no Brasil. Há dose confusão sobre o que seja espécie exótica, naturalizada, invasora,...
AimsThe coastal Brazilian rainforest on white-sand (restinga) ranks among the most fragmented forest types in tropics, owing to both patchy distribution of sandy soils and widespread development activities. Here we study environmental evolutionary determinants a tree assemblage at single restinga Southeastern Brazil. We also explore ability competing hypotheses explain maintenance species diversity this type, which includes contrasting extremes edaphic conditions associated with flooding stress.
Sustainable native timber production and the carbon market can be a crucial strategy for scaling up tropical forest restoration. In this context, study developed both growth models growth‐climate Cariniana legalis , Dalbergia nigra Zeyheria tuberculosa to predict tree diameter total height, analyzed patterns among species, estimated their commercial rotation age production. We collected data from 14 plantations distributed throughout Brazilian Atlantic Forest, with of 5564 trees sampled. The...
Eugenia currently comprises c. 1050 species and is the largest angiosperm genus in Brazil. Recent morphological taxonomic revision of s.l. light current phylogenetic knowledge necessitates a new infra-generic classification. This study, based on available systematic data, circumscribes its sense provides detailed descriptions illustration resulting nine sections: sects. Eugenia, Calycorectes, Hexachlamys, Phyllocalyx, Pilothecium, Pseudeugenia, Racemosae, Speciosae largest, Umbellatae that...
Premise of research. Despite recent progress on the systematics Leguminosae, relationships between some genera, as well their circumscriptions, remain uncertain. Here we investigate Stryphnodendron and closely related genera in Piptadenia group, a clade problematic taxonomy for which robust phylogenetic hypothesis is still lacking.Methodology. Taxonomic sampling included 23 species (77% genus) representatives group. DNA (matK/trnK, trnD-trnT, trnL-trnF, ITS) sequences constituting data set...
Localizado na Serra de Paranapiacaba, sul do Estado São Paulo, o Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho (PECB) abriga mais 37.000 ha Floresta Atlântica em um dos remanescentes importantes e extensos deste Bioma no Brasil. No Parque, predomina a Ombrófila Densa Montana Submontana. Com objetivo organizar as informações florísticas disponíveis direcionar futuros levantamentos, este estudo apresenta lista espécies vasculares nativas das florestas PECB. Além coletas pessoais autores, foram compilados...
We assessed the structure, diversity and distribution of tree species in a 10.24-ha permanent plot high Restinga forest (HRF) southeastern Brazil. sampled 15,040 individuals belonging to 45 families, 87 genera 116 (density= 1,468 trees ha-1, basal area= 28.0 m² ha-1). Mean richness was lower than other types tropical forests HRFs that have been less intensively sampled, which is probably due younger age hydromorphy soils study site. Tree density, area, composition, all varied considerably...
In this article we describe and analyze the use of plant resources in a region nearby conservation area. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which asked interviewees to free list plants known. Species cited identified collection botanical samples, field observations. Fifty-eight inhabitants interviewed; banana farming, cattle ranching, extracting palm hearts are their main economic activities. A total 248 ethnospecies mentioned, including over 200 species. Plants grouped...
Sloanea L. is the largest genus of Elaeocarpaceae in New World and their species occurs from Mexico to Southern Brazil. During revision that we made for extra-Amazonian region Brazil it was detected need organize its nomenclature, carried out present study which resulted 48 valid names, 15 lectotypes here designated, 4 new synonyms one illegitimate name. Additional comments on genus, geographical distribution, habitat type season flowering fruiting are also provided.
DNA barcoding helps to identify species, especially when identification is based on parts of organisms or life stages such as seeds, pollen, wood, roots juveniles. However, the implementation this approach strongly depends existence complete reference libraries sequences. If a library incomplete, DNA-based will be inefficient. Here, we assess if can already implemented in species-rich tropical regions. We focus tree flora São Paulo state, Brazil, which contains more than 2000 species. Using...
