“…For instance, Schyzolobium parahyba (Vell.) S.F.Blake is native to the Atlantic Coastal Rainforest, but became invasive in Seasonally Semi-deciduous Forests (both are part of the Atlantic Forest biome) after human-mediated introduction (Abreu et al 2014). Given that species ranges are a biogeographical concept rather than a geopolitical one, care should be taken when interpreting statements of species as native or non-native to Brazil.…”

Human-mediated species introductions are one of the defining factors of the Anthropocene. Non-native species can form invasive populations that affect biodiversity, ecosystem services, or farming. Here I summarized data on naturalized vascular species from the Brazilian list of seed plants and tested the hypotheses that more populated regions and biomes with less remaining natural vegetation harbor more naturalized species. The Atlantic Forest had the largest number of naturalized species, whereas the Pampa had the highest proportion of naturalized species in relation to the biome's total richness. The number of naturalized species was affected both by human population size and proportion of remaining natural vegetation. Family Poaceae had the highest numbers of naturalized species in all biomes, and, together with Asteraceae and Fabaceae, forms the top three families in number of naturalized species in five of the biomes. There were no records of species naturalized in all six biomes. However, of the 46 species naturalized in five out of six biomes, half were Poaceae. The results indicate that the Brazilian flora is currently composed both by native and naturalized species. Assessments of invasion risks and of impacts by naturalized species could help set management priorities and resource allocation towards control.

“…Por poder criar microssítios específicos sob sua copa, cada espécie ou cada indivíduo presente no dossel das florestas tropicais e subtropicais funciona como um filtro ecológico para a comunidade regenerante, determinando parcialmente a composição, estrutura e riqueza da comunidade de plantas sob sua projeção e, através dessa permeabilidade ou impermeabilidade, afetar parcialmente a biodiversidade atual e futura da comunidade de plantas da floresta (GANDOLFI et al, 2007;ABREU et al, 2014).…”

Whether management intervention is required to control biological invasions depends primarily on demonstrating species losses resulting from such invasions. Brackens of the Pteridium genus are currently regarded as a problem species that act as important ecological filters in the assembly of invaded communities. We investigated the effects of Pteridium arachnoideum invasion on the diversity, structure, floristic composition, and functional traits of cerradão in Assis, São Paulo, Brazil. We compared an invaded site with an adjacent non-invaded site. Bracken constrained the establishment of tree species, resulting in a community structure remarkably distinct from the non-invaded area. The density and basal area of the arboreal community were higher in non-invaded areas, but large trees were more frequent in the invaded areas. However, bracken did not reduce tree species diversity. Both richness and diversity were higher in the invaded area, indicating that over time, tree species richness and diversity naturally recovered, albeit slowly, in the invaded area. Therefore, one cannot attribute the loss of richness in the Cerrado vegetation to bracken invasion. Hence, we argue that, in this system, eradication of this invasive species is not likely to be cost effective, and thus, it should be a low management priority.
