“…The high plant diversity of the Cerrado, with approximately 12,350 species catalogued by Mendonça et al (2008), and 12,097 Angiosperms, 269 ferns and Lycophytes and 478 Bryophytes catalogued by Zappi et al (2015), Prado et al (2015) and Costa and Peralta (2015), has been attributed to the considerable environmental heterogeneity of this biome (Felfili et al, 2008). On a regional scale, relief (Motta et al, 2002;Silva et al, 2006), altitude (Motta et al, 2002), climate (Silva et al, 2006), and historical variation in climatic conditions Ratter, 1995, 2002) have likely influenced the occurrence and abundance of species.…”

Effects of soil and space on the woody species composition and vegetation structure of three Cerrado phytophysiognomies in the Cerrado-Amazon transition

et al. 2017

The Cerrado Biome is considered one of the world's biodiversity hotspots because of its rich biodiversity, the high level of endemism and the increasing threat. The Cerrado is composed by a mosaic of different vegetation types, including physiognomies that vary from grasslands (campo limpo) to savannas (typical cerrado or cerrado sensu stricto) and cerrado woodlands (cerradão). However, the factors that determine the composition of the Cerrado's flora and the structure of the physiognomies that compose this biome are still poorly understood. Here, we investigate the influence of the chemical and granulometric properties of the soil and the effect of geographic distance on the occurrence and abundance of woody species in three Cerrado phytophysiognomies -cerrado woodland (cerradão), dense cerrado savanna and typical cerrado savanna -in the Cerrado-Amazon transition. We tested the hypothesis that the edaphic characteristics and geographic space determine the species composition and the structure of the woody vegetation of these three phytophysiognomies. We demonstrate that the dissimilarities in the structure and composition of the three sites were determined more by space (13% of explanation) than edaphic properties (1%), but primarily by the interaction between these two factors (26%). We conclude that, in situations where the chemical and granulometric properties of the soil are relatively homogeneous, as we found in the present study, geographic distance between sites has a greater influence than variation in the substrate's properties on modelling the occurrence and abundance of the woody plant species in the Cerrado.Keywords: cerradão, edaphic properties, geographical distance, soil-vegetation relationship, species composition. Efeito do solo e do espaço sobre a composição de espécies lenhosas e estrutura da vegetação de três fitofisionomias de Cerrado na transição Cerrado-AmazôniaResumo O Bioma Cerrado é considerado um dos "hotspots" mundiais de biodiversidade devido à rica biodiversidade que abriga, ao elevado nível de endemismo e à eminente ameaça. O Cerrado é composto por um mosaico de diferentes tipos de vegetação e inclui fisionomias que variam desde áreas predominantemente graminosas (campo limpo) a savanas (cerrado típico ou cerrado sensu stricto) e florestas (cerradão). Entretanto, os fatores que determinam a composição da flora do Cerrado e a estrutura das fisionomias que o compõem ainda são pouco compreendidas. Aqui, nós avaliamos a influência das propriedades químicas e granulométricas do solo e da distância geográfica sobre a ocorrência e abundância de espécies lenhosas em três fitofisionomias do Cerrado -cerradão (CO), cerrado denso (DC) e cerrado típico (TC) -na transição Cerrado-Amazônia. Nós testamos a hipótese de que as características edáficas e o espaço determinam a composição florística e a estrutura da vegetação lenhosa das três fitofisionomias. Nós demostramos que a dissimilaridade florístico-estrutural entre os três sítios foi mais determinada pelo espaço (13% da explicação) d...

“…At present, ca 7150 plant species (including mosses, ferns, their allies, and seed plants) are recognized as naturally occurring there (Brazil Flora Group 2015, Dutra et al 2015, Costa and Peralta 2015, Prado et al 2015, Flora do Brasil 2017. This number is still far from final, since the flora of this state has been poorly studied, and in the last several years many new species have been described (e.g., Labiak and Matos 2009, Goldenberg and Kollmann 2016, Ribeiro et al 2016.…”

We present a checklist of ferns and lycophytes from Parque Estadual Mata das Flores, a state park located in Castelo, Espírito Santo, Brazil. The park has an area of 800 ha, and its main vegetation is composed of dry forest (at 150-500 m elev.), and a small portion of wet forest (500-700 m), within the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest biome. We found 83 taxa, including 75 species, 3 varieties, 4 putative hybrids, and 1 cultivar. Among these, 17 are newly recorded from the Espírito Santo. Twenty-five taxa are endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, and 5 are endemic to southeastern Brazil, and 2 are narrow endemics to the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Anemia blechnoides is the only vulnerable species found, according to the national red list. We found 4 naturalized species. Among the hybrids, 3 are reported for the first time in literature (Blechnum asplenioides × B. glandulosum, Campyloneurum decurrens × C. repens, and Doryopteris collina × D. lorentzii) and 1 for the first time in Brazil (B. glandulosum × B. polypodioides).
