“…Floristic and phytosociological surveys in the Neotropics have generated, over more than 40 years, an extensive database that today allows us to understand how landscape, climate, altitude, soils and history affect phytogeography, diversity, evolution and ecology, from populations and communities to entire biomes (e.g., Bueno et al, 2016;Gastauer et al, 2015;Lima et al, 2020;Neves et al, 2020;Fontes, 2000). Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) have less than 1000 mm of rainfall in tropical and equatorial latitudes (see Oliveira-Filho et al 2015) and are less studied by floristic and phytosociological studies than other large biomes with woody vegetation (Andrade et al, 2011), but the absence of this type of study is especially worrying with the climate change predicted for the coming decades (IPCC, 2021) in mountains such as the Andes where isolated fragments of TDFs will have their climates altered in heavily anthropized landscapes (Galván-Cisneros et al, 2021).…”

Background: Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) are repositories of biodiversity, ecosystem services and carbon that are threatened by fragmentation and climate change. Floristic and phytosociological studies are fundamental database for many studies of conservation and sustainability, but there is a knowledge gap concerning TDFs, especially in the Andes valleys. The aim of this study was to determine the phytosociological structure and composition of woody vegetation of seven TDFs in the Colombian Andes, and because the flora associated with this type of forest has a geographical distribution restricted to each locality where this biome exists, provide information on the main species, genera and families for conservation and restoration actions as well as for future metaanalyses. We sampled seven TDFs with 20 plots of 25 m × 4 m. Results:In the 1.88 hectares of samples, 8422 individuals were surveyed, distributed in 170 species, 120 genera and 50 botanical families. Of these species, 78.82% were identified at the species level, 17.05% at the genus level, and 4.11% at the family level. The most important families were Fabaceae and Myrtaceae. Nitrogen-fixing Fabaceae species were prominent amongst the important species, especially in low altitude and more stressing sites. Conclusion:The structure, composition and ecological importance of these forests must be considered for conservation and ecological restoration plans, in particular the habitat preference of species along the topographic gradient. Particularly noteworthy for conservation are the Myrtaceae species because promote connectivity and regeneration by providing resources for the fauna, a driver of dispersal, as well as nitrogen-fixing Fabaceae species, because promote the resilience and natural regeneration of TDFs in the Andes, a key feature of stability.

“…No bioma Cerrado, que se destaca pelos altos níveis de riqueza de espécies, endemismos e grau de ameaças, os inventários vegetais têm contribuído para esclarecer a riqueza de espécies, as diferenças na composição de comunidades entre áreas e de suas estruturas ao longo do tempo (LIMA et al, 2020). Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo objetiva disponibilizar um inventario florístico de espécies encontradas no Parque Ambiental do município de Anapurus, Maranhão, Brasil.…”

Este trabalho tem como objetivo disponibilizar o inventario florístico das espécies encontradas no Parque Ambiental do município de Anapurus, Maranhão, Brasil. O levantamento florístico ocorreu durante o mês de agosto de 2022, sendo que o reconhecimento da área e posterior registro dos dados deu-se através de caminhadas aleatórias. As amostras botânicas coletadas seguiram técnicas usuais de herborização e para identificação das espécies utilizou-se a bibliografia adequada e chaves taxonômicas. No total, registramos 27 famílias, 38 gêneros e 40 espécies, sendo sete espécies pertencentes ao grupo das briófitas, oito são samambaias e 24 são angiospermas. Dentre as famílias mais frequentes, estão: Arecaceae, com cinco espécies, e Araceae com quatro, as demais com uma ou duas espécies, cada. A avaliação das formas de vida revelou uma predominância de ervas (23 espécies), seguido de palmeiras e árvores (cinco espécies, cada uma). Avaliando os tipos de habitat, 25 espécies são terrícolas, sete aquáticas, três epífitas, três corticícola, uma hemiepífita e uma rupícola. A área de estudo possui uma elevada diversidade florística. Além disso, apresenta grande importância tanto para o meio urbano, devido aos inúmeros benefícios que pode proporcionar para qualidade de vida dos cidadãos, quanto para o equilíbrio do ecossistema.

“…Public and multi-stakeholder conservation programs can change this imminent extinction scenario, cooperating with national and international biodiversity safeguarding goals in the Cerrado (Strassburger et al 2016(Strassburger et al , 2017. The first step to improving conservation and restoration actions is conducting plant inventories to assess species diversity and differences in the community composition and structure among areas through time and biogeographic patterns (Lima et al 2020). After that, acquiring functional traits, for example, running qualitative or quantitative studies of pollination and seed dispersal syndromes associated with vegetation stratification is essential to preserve Cerrado's dynamics (Gottsberger & Silberbauer-Gottsberger 2018) and guide future restoration actions (Buisson et al 2020).…”

Cerrado remnants can hold an important diversity of plant species of environmental and ecological relevance. We presented a checklist of vascular plants based on 12 years of inventory carried out in 36 plots (10 m x 2 m; 0.18 ha in total) and during unsystematic walks in a remnant area of cerrado sensu stricto located at Itirapina municipality, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The list comprised 195 plant species, corresponding to 54 families and 131 genera. The richest families were Fabaceae (25 species), Asteraceae (16), Myrtaceae (16), Rubiaceae (11), Bignoniaceae and Malpighiaceae (10 each), Melastomataceae (9), and Erythroxylaceae, Sapindaceae and Annonaceae (6). Predominant life forms included shrubs and trees, with 68% of the species, followed by lianas with 12%, sub-shrub and herbs with 10% each. Bees were the dominant pollinators (67,5%) and the majority of species had seeds dispersed by animals (56.8%), mostly by birds, followed by wind (33.3%) and self-dispersed (11.2%). More than 60% of the total species were classified as “typical” Cerrado species. Bowdichia virgilioides was the only species classified as Near Threatened (NT) and 157 were regarded as Data Deficient (DD). Our dataset provides floristic, structural, and ecological information for one of the targeted areas for Cerrado survey at São Paulo state, contributing to the understanding of diversity patterns and future conservation and restoration actions in this threatened hotspot.
