Abstract Questions We investigated tree floristic variation among the Neotropical Non‐Flooded Evergreen Forests (NEF). addressed following questions: (a) which are groups NEF and how they correlated with environmental variables; (b) many species, genera families shared between these species unique indicative of each one; (c) does richness vary groups? Location region. Methods used cluster ordination analyses based on 518,004 occurrence data available in NeoTropTree database to identify...
ABSTRACT We evaluated the floristic and ecological attributes of a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant (SSF) (500-1,050 m) located in key area for biodiversity conservation. The importance fragment to ecosystem conservation was revealed by its species richness (253), diversity (Shannon index = 4.6; Simpson's complementary 0.98) evenness (Pielou 0.83), which are considered high values SSF. Zoochory occurred 77% species, indicating existence important biotic interactions that ensure...
Abstract The understories of tropical forests comprise complex communities and can be divided into permanent understory, where the generally shade-tolerant plant growth forms are less developed in height, transient young tree individuals only temporarily present. Despite a high contribution to species richness forests, understory is poorly studied. Here, we examined composition, richness, structure, diversity, relative gallery Brazilian Cerrado. A total 211 distributed sixty-seven families...
Abstract Questions We examined the drivers of tree species variation across Neotropical non‐flooded evergreen forests (NNFEFs) to answer following questions: can floristic groups be differentiated based on environmental predictors? How do bioclimatic, topographic, edaphic predictors and dispersal barriers contribute explain throughout NNFEFs? Location region. Methods Based 1,843 sites (circular areas with a diameter 10 km), 15,072 509,793 occurrence records trees, as well variables (42 13...
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo compreender o potencial extrativista do estado de Mato Grosso. Para isso, investigamos quais as espécies vegetais extrativistas ou que ocorrem em Grosso e verificar sua distribuição geográfica nos biomas mato-grossenses (Amazônia, Cerrado Pantanal). Compilamos listas oficiais, bem como catálogos derivados projetos fomento ao extrativismo sustentável. Obtivemos 43 distribuídas 34 gêneros 19 famílias. As Anacardium occidentale L., Annona crassiflora Mart.,...
Abstract We investigated spatial patterns of evolutionary diversity along Neotropical Non‐Flooded Evergreen Forests (NEF). addressed the following questions: (i) What are main NEF groups? (ii) How varies across environmental gradients? Based on a phylogeny 1248 tree genera distributed over 1824 assemblages, we examined differentiation using UPGMA and evopca. measured lineage (ses.PD) structure (ses.MPD ses.MNTD) tested their response to gradients linear models. Phylogenetic dissimilarity...
Abstract The contribution of the herbaceous stratum to tropical plant diversity is considerable, however this component remains undersampled. We investigated floristic, structural, ecological and conservation issues concerning a seasonal deciduous forest associated with granitic rock outcrops in Cristalino Region, key area for biodiversity Brazilian Amazon. installed permanent plot 1 ha, allocating 10 transect-lines 20 m each. identified sampled individuals, measured height projection,...
