Abstract The geodiversity of rocky ecosystems includes diverse plant communities with specific names, but their continental‐scale floristic identity and the knowledge on role macroclimate remain patchy. Here, we assessed in eastern Brazil across multiple types landscapes evaluated relative importance climatic variables constraining differentiation. We provided lists diagnostic species an assessment conservation status identified groups. compiled a data set 151 sites (4498 species) from...
As florestas alto-montanas são reconhecidas por apresentarem composição florística e estrutura fitossociológica distintas das em cotas altitudinais inferiores. Realizou-se um levantamento fitossociológico uma floresta alto-montana localizada na Serra da Mantiqueira, distrito de Monte Verde, Camanducaia, Minas Gerais. O principal objetivo foi analisar o efeito do gradiente altitudinal vegetação. Foram instalados sete blocos paralelos com cinco parcelas contíguas 10 × m, distantes 50 entre...
A Serra da Mantiqueira apresenta um mosaico de formações vegetacionais composto por florestas altimontanas, araucária, campos altitude e afloramentos rochosos. Realizamos levantamento florístico nas altimontanas do distrito Monte Verde, Camanducaia, MG, Sudeste Brasil, para quantificarmos a riqueza específica cada formação analisarmos distribuição geográfica das espécies. Foram coletadas 499 espécies, distribuídas entre 97 famílias 285 gêneros. As com maior foram Asteraceae (77 espécies),...
The organic pollutants promote significant risks to both human health and environmental sustainability. These compounds have seen a dramatic increase in diversity quantity, infiltrating bodies of water, marine environments, living organisms. Some factors contribute pollutant emissions, such as road traffic industrial activities it leads spatiotemporal variability. Between the pollutants, Trace Organic Contaminants (TrOCs), which comprise diverse range chemicals, pharmaceutical residues,...
Three new Brazilian Myrceugenia species, all from mountainous regions in the Atlantic Rainforest, are described. nebulosa and M. oreades Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range at limits of between states Minas Gerais São Paulo, bonita is Bonita state Bahia. The study provides taxonomic descriptions, distribution maps, preliminary extinction risk assessments, noting species that endangered or critically endangered.
The upper montane forests in the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil have an unusual discontinuous geographic distribution at top Atlantic coastal mountain ranges. To describe floristic composition structure Forest near its altitudinal limit Brazil, 30 plots with 10 × m were installed three forest sites between 2,200 2,300 m.a.s.l. Serra Fina. phytosociological this compared other forests. In total, 704 individuals included, belonging to 24 species, 15 families, 19 genera....
Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in world, with about 37,000 species land plants. Part this biodiversity within protected areas. The development online databases last years greatly improved available data. However, existing do not provide information areas which individual plant occur. lack such a crucial gap for conservation actions. This study aimed to show how captured from databases, cleaned by protocol and verified taxonomists allowed us obtain comprehensive list vascular...
Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge improving actions is to know richness, by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way build species lists and provide relevant information about biodiversity. list land plants "Parque Nacional do Caparaó" (PNC) was previously built using online published on website "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades Conservação Brasil." Here, we...
Este trabalho apresenta o levantamento florístico das plantas vasculares da Reserva Biológica Represa do Grama, um remanescente de floresta estacional semidecidual Domínio Atlântico, situado no município Descoberto, Minas Gerais. Foram realizadas coletas quinzenais material fértil entre agosto 1999 e dezembro 2004. Além levantamento, fez-se a comparação composição florística através análises multivariadas agrupamento com outras nove áreas (3 6 ombrófila), cujos levantamentos florísticos...
ResumoEste trabalho consiste no levantamento florístico de Asteraceae nos Campos Rupestres das Serras da Bocaina e Carrancas que estão localizadas Planalto Alto Rio Grande, sul Minas Gerais, bem como uma análise similaridade florística com outras áreas serranas do Brasileiro. O foi realizado em 11 nas Carrancas. A realizada entre 17 São Paulo, Janeiro Bahia. Neste florístico, a família apresentou 117 espécies, distribuídas 43 gêneros pertencentes 14 tribos. Os têm maior riqueza espécies...
Abstract Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) have unique climatic conditions, which allow the coexistence of plant lineages with different phytogeographical origins from tropical versus temperate climates. Future climate projections suggest TMCFs will be subjected to increasing drought stress due fog uplift and higher temperatures, possibly leading tree mortality local extinctions, consequently changes in forest composition functioning. Characterizing community functional composition,...
Abstract The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened tropical forests in world. Leguminosae, by its great richness and dominance among arboreal stratum elements, major importance floristic composition structure this forest. We investigated distribution legume species on an altitudinal gradient to find out zones with higher species; greater similarity; possible presence that may be exclusive certain vegetation types amplitudes those species, as well occurrence substitution along...
Studies on floristic and structural variations of forests in relation to altitude have contributed the knowledge patterns causes spatial distribution plants Atlantic Forest. Geographical variables such as latitude, longitude result different vegetation types, which limits newly established are not consensus. In north coast São Paulo state altitudes vary from Restinga Forest, near sea level, at top Cuscuzeiro Mountain 1,279 m altitude. order evaluate richness, taxonomic diversity, similarity...
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in world. Despite that, this biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several protected areas, such as "Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto" ("Flona Preto"), located Brazilian State Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular plant species list for area from "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades Conservação Brasil" basis to synthesise richness, endemism, conservation and new occurrences found...
De junho de 1998 a dezembro 1999, cinco eventos reprodutivos do falcão-de-coleira Falco femoralis foram registrados e monitorados no município Juiz Fora, Estado Minas Gerais, sudeste brasileiro. Dois ninhos encontrados em por duas estações reprodutivas (1998/99), enquanto um terceiro, encontrado foi monitorado apenas uma estação reprodutiva. Todos os estavam situados árvores isoladas, localizadas áreas pastagens, altura relação ao solo, variou entre 5,1 7,2 m. A reprodutiva ocorreu, nos dois...
