“…The taxonomic identities of the 32,086 angiosperm species then known to occur in the country, along with a suite of detailed information about each species, were compiled and checked by a network of 437 specialists over the past seven years, as part of the different stages in the finalisation of the Brazilian List . This synthesis has in turn provided a basis for a series of novel analyses of the diversity of plants and fungi of Brazil (BFG 2015;Costa & Peralta 2015;Maia et al 2015;Menezes et al 2015;Prado et al 2015).…”

“…The Brazilian List process continued from 2010 through to March 2015 with later versions of the online resource being greatly enriched with ecological data as well as updates on taxonomy and distribution. Results to date for all the groups of plants and fungi treated are available in BFG (2015), Costa & Peralta (2015), Maia et al (2015), Menezes et al (2015) and Prado et al (2015).…”

This paper seeks to provide an assessment of the prospects of delivering an online Flora of Brazil by 2020. Our approach is to evaluate the nature and extent of documentation of the Brazilian flora over the past 15 years before exploring whether existing botanical documentation and capacity is sufficient to support the production of a complete Flora over a five-year period. We address the following 'headline' questions: Has a high proportion of Brazilian species been described? Are collection densities sufficient to underpin a national Flora? Is there sufficient botanical expertise available to execute such a big project over a five-year period? Are there current taxonomic treatments that support the development of a national Flora? The results obtained show that the proportion of the flora estimated to have been described is high enough to be confident that those preparing Flora treatments will not be overwhelmed by the numbers of species new to science requiring description; the national average of 1.08 specimens per km2 is significant; relevant taxonomic treatments with a variety of different scopes and geographic scales are available; and, finally the botanical expertise available is demonstrated by the results presented in the List of Species of the Flora of Brasil.

“…The median values of pH, CEC, and V% in Amazonian rainforest were lower than the mean values for other Brazilian biomes (Marques et al, 2004a;Oliveira and Costa, 2004;Dalmolin et al, 2006;Maia et al, 2015;Souza et al, 2015), for rainforest in Ghana (Bowell, 1993), and for rainforest in southeastern Asia (Richter and Babbar, 1991). In Amazonia, median values were up to 17 % lower in pH, 50 % in CEC, and 78 % in V% (Table 2).…”

Evaluating soil geochemical diversity in the Amazon Basin has been a challenge largely because most study sites have been at the edge of the basin and it is difficult to get samples in such a region. Here we show that even among the most weathered soils, physicochemical soil properties express lithology. Our results are based on topsoil samples collected from different locations in minimally disturbed areas in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Soil properties were measured using methods which are suitable for highly developed soils. The Chemical Index Alteration and Weathering Index of Parker was calculated based on the content of metal(loid)s in soils determined by X-ray fluorescence. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were performed on data. In general, Amazon rainforest soils are more deeply weathered than soils in other Brazilian biomes and tropical rainforests in Asia and Africa. The high coefficient of variation of metal(loid) contents express pedogenesis and parent material diversity. Correlation analysis indicated that the tri-pentavalent elements are strongly associated with Al and Fe contents in the topsoil. In contrast, mono-divalent elements are correlated with sand and silt fractions. According to PCA, five soil groups with defined geochemical compositions and degrees of weathering could be identified: i) acidic sandy podzolized soils; ii) acidic loamy ferralitic soils with the highest content of tri-pentavalent ions; iii) acidic clayey kaolinitic soils with low metal(loid) contents; iv) acidic loamy kaolinitic soils with low metal(loid) contents; and v) silty neutral 2:1 clay soils. This study is the first effort to analyze the geochemical diversity in Amazon rainforest soils. These data are extremely valuable in determining the geochemical background for these soil types and this region. Geochemical variability can be predicted to some extent by lithology and pedogenesis, which can be applied to define the sampling required in future studies.

-(Richness of rust fungi on host plants in Belém Metropolitan Area, Pará State, Brazil). This study had as objectives: to survey the fungi that cause rust (Pucciniales) in RMB, to identify species of rust parasitizing plants of economic interest, and to present findings of new records to South America, Brazil, Amazon and Pará, thus broadening the knowledge of the richness of the group and the relationships with their host plants. Collections were made in RMB in 2011-2013 period, and the MG (MPEG) and IAN (EMBRAPA) herbaria were revised. The RMB presented 76 species and 20 genera of Pucciniales. Fourteen species are new records: South America (one), Brazil (one), Amazon (five), State of Pará (one), and RMB (six). Twenty species of rust parasitize plants of economic interest. The RMB has the highest Pucciniales richness in the Amazon. Keywords: Amazon, phytopathogens, Pucciniales, survey RESUMO -(Riqueza de fungos causadores de ferrugens em plantas hospedeiras da Região Metropolitana de Belém, PA, Brasil). Este estudo teve por objetivos inventariar os fungos causadores de ferrugens (Pucciniales) na RMB, identificar espécies de ferrugens que parasitam plantas de interesse econômico, apresentar novos registros para a América do Sul, Brasil, Amazônia e Estado do Pará, e assim ampliar o conhecimento sobre a riqueza do grupo e da relação com suas plantas hospedeiras. Foram realizadas coletas na RMB no período de 2011-2013, e revisados os herbários MG (MPEG) e IAN (EMBRAPA). A RMB apresentou 76 espécies e 20 gêneros de fungos Pucciniales. Quatorze espécies são novos registros: para a América do Sul (uma), Brasil (uma), Amazônia (cinco), Estado do Pará (uma) e RMB (seis). Vinte espécies de ferrugens parasitavam plantas de interesse econômico. A RMB apresenta a maior riqueza de espécies de Pucciniales estudada na Amazônia.
