“…The wood component in this biome serves as a barrier in riverbanks, refugee for many wild animals, and as substrate for native plant species, some of them endemic to this biome (Guadagnin et al 2009;Roesch et al 2009). In addition, S. molle has medicinal properties (Dikshit et al 1986), pharmaceutical uses for its essential oils (Marongiu et al 2004), and the spice pink pepper produced from its seeds is appreciated in the culinary (Goldstein and Coleman 2004). So, conservation strategies should be discussed toward finding strategies for managing and protecting these native forest formations.…”

One of the most important aspects for population ecology and evolution is to understand the connectivity between individuals and their groups. In this study, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were employed aiming to examine genetic diversity, spatial genetic structure, and internal gene flow of nine populations of Schinus molle across the Brazilian Pampa. The dispersal capacity of S. molle in the Brazilian Pampa, the implications of the forest fragmentation to species genetic structure, and the impact of the actual genetic structure of the species to its conservation and management were investigated. AFLP markers revealed low genetic diversity and clear genetic structure among populations. Significant fine-scale spatial genetic structure at short distances was observed in all populations. Estimates of gene dispersal distance suggest that the dispersion capacity of this species is larger than the area covered by the studied populations. However, fragmentation hampers the gene flow among populations. The management of S. molle natural occurrence in this biome seems to be simple considering the species plasticity. The conservation of the species genetic resource depends on maintaining the extant forest patches and promoting their connectivity.

“…Two Anacardiaceae family tree species (Schinus molle L. and Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) are important in regarding to the natural resources exploitation possibility from their special metabolism (Kramer, 1957;Morton, 1978;Mack, 1991;Goldstein and Coleman, 2004). The first one is native from northern South America arid regions, including Peru, Chile and Argentina, as well as, their fruit are not suitable for human feeding in the reason of toxic properties (Blood, 2001).…”

“…Seeds are dispersed by birds, mammals and in running water, while seedlings become established in washes, ravines, old fi elds and rock outcrops (Howard & Minnich 1989). Schinus molle is recognized by its use in folk's medicine (Dikshit et al 1986), by the pharmaceutical uses of its essential oils (Marongiu et al 2004) and by the spicy pink pepper (Goldstein & Coleman 2004).…”

Modeling distribution of Schinus molle L. in the Brazilian Pampa: insights on vegetation dynamics and conservation of the biome

et al. 2014

Abstract. Natural establishment of forests in the Brazilian Pampa biome should occur due to soil, hydrology and climate conditions, although no significant forest expansion over grassland has been noticed, precluded mainly by human interference and lack of environmental management. In this study, we used niche-modeling distribution of the tree species Schinus molle L. based on climatic variables to access the vegetation dynamics of the Brazilian Pampa and to develop strategies that assure the conservation of this biome, concerning both grassland and forest formations. Here we show that a large area of the Brazilian Pampa is suitable for expansion of S. molle populations, supporting the forest expansion over grassland as a natural process in this biome. We propose that the current absence of tree species expansion over the grassland in these areas is a result of the resilience of the grassland and of human interferences through expansion of agriculture, ranching and forestry with exotic species. Therefore, conservationist actions should focus on establishing preservation unities that include forest populations and grassland, while environmental management should be applied just in farming areas with historical human interference. Such actions will respect the ecological dynamics of the Pampa and value the forest formations in this grassland-dominated environment.
