Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys biodiversity inventories. Atlantic Forest, most endangered ecosystems world, have high endemism radiated recently Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), lichen epiphyte species occurrence abundance; (2) describe distribution order indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents first with information abundance...
Abstract Vascular epiphytes are a diverse and conspicuous component of biodiversity in tropical subtropical forests. Yet, the patterns drivers epiphyte assemblages poorly studied comparison with soil‐rooted plants. Current knowledge about diversity mainly stems from local studies or floristic inventories, but this information has not yet been integrated to allow better understanding large‐scale distribution patterns. EpIG‐DB, first database on at continental scale, resulted an exhaustive...
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...
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...
This study was performed in a remnant of Seasonal Semideciduous Forest at Fazenda Fortaleza de Sant'Anna, the municipality Chácara, Minas Gerais, Brazil (22.0129S, 43.8628W), an area ca. 1 ha, via monthly expeditions throughout year 2012.We found 91 species vascular epiphytes, distributed 44 genera and 12 families.The richest families were Orchidaceae (35 spp.), Bromeliaceae (18 Polypodiaceae (10 Piperaceae (nine spp.) Araceae (seven spp.).Two recorded for first time Gerais: Rodriguezia...
The present study aimed to document the composition, richness, diversity as well horizontal and vertical distribution of epiphytic Bromeliaceae in a fragment submontane seasonal semideciduous forest Minas Gerais State (-21°38'15''S, -43°10'55''W). Three plots (semicircles with radius 25 m) were marked we found 72 phorophytes that harbor 15 species Bromeliaceae, distributed nine genera. Nidularium azureum (L.B.Sm.) Leme is local endemic, considered critically endangered. In general, richness...
The South America Dry Diagonal (SADD) is the most extensive and continuous portion of dry vegetation on continent, characterised by lower rainfall a marked season. Epiphytes are very poorly known understudied in this area, even though they represent high proportion plant diversity America. Here, we compiled dataset epiphyte records from SADD. date 1859 to 2021, covering all four SADD domains, countries, 24 ecoregions. We utilised two databases for life form classification: Epilist Brazil...
Epiphytes are an important component of the diversity tropical forests, and they also have several ecological functions. Vegetation heterogeneity is one features responsible for high biodiversity Atlantic Forest, especially in domain’s seasonal semideciduous forest (SSF). This presents as endemism species richness. Owing to nature SSF, organisms that require humidity (e.g. epiphytes) would be expected show low richness these forests. The aims this study were conduct a survey vascular...
This paper presents the first record of Pleroma boraceiense in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. new occurrence is significant because species had a restricted original distribution with about 10 gatherings São Paulo State, Serra do Mar. On other hand, previous study showed low floristic similarity between Melastomataceae flora Mar State Park and that Negra region. In order to evaluate environmental similarity, predictive modelling has been developed. The gathering site ( RPPN Mato Limpo) high...
We present the first record of Rhipsalis oblonga in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. This suggests that this species, having a global rank Vulnerable, is nevertheless threatened with extirpation due to small area occupancy outside any conservation unit. morphological data for species and comment on its ecology distribution.
Abstract Altitudinal gradients can provide valuable insights into the distribution patterns of species richness at both local and regional scales. Typically, peaks intermediate elevations. This pattern be attributed to factors such as climatic conditions, mid‐domain effect, historical‐evolutionary processes. Our research aimed investigate vascular epiphytes along elevation gradient in dwarf cloud forests Serra da Mantiqueira (SM), Brazil. We hypothesised that would peak elevations...
Abstract The importance of continuously conducting botanical inventories has been questioned in recent decades, generating a lack investment and interest this area. However, several applied studies are only possible after obtaining the primary data from such surveys. Despite having greatest richness plants known Brazil, areas with knowledge gaps remain Minas Gerais (MG) state. This is case for Serra da Mantiqueira, an important area biodiversity conservation country. In scenario,...
Abstract Studies conducted on vascular epiphytes in Minas Gerais have revealed high richness the seasonal semi-deciduous forests (SSF) comparison with those of other Brazilian states. This study aimed to present a epiphyte checklist Serra do Relógio (SR) Atlantic Forest Gerais, order analyze similarity between two areas different altitudes, as well discuss recorded for this synusia SSFs state. The survey was performed conservation units (CUs) apart from each approximately 6 km and elevations...
RESUMO (Gesneriaceae da Serra do Relógio, Descoberto, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil). A Relógio está localizada no município Zona Mata Gerais. Há duas importantes Unidades Conservação, a Reserva Biológica Represa Grama (RBRG) e Particular Patrimônio Natural Alto Boa Vista (RPPNABV). Juntas abrangem uma área total 402,6 hectares, sendo composta, predominantemente pela Floresta Estacional Semidecidual baixo-montana. Gesneriaceae representada na por oito espécies, distribuídas nos gêneros...
