Plant morpho-physiological variation under distinct environmental extremes in restinga vegetation

Abstract: RESUMO(Variação morfo-fisiológica em plantas sob distintos extremos ambientais em vegetação de restinga) Este trabalho é uma síntese das informações obtidas em mais de dez anos de pesquisas sobre variação morfofisiológica entre populações e dentre indivíduos de uma mesma população para seis espécies da restinga de Jacarepiá: os arbustos Alchornea triplinervia, Andira legalis, Clusia fluminensis e Myrsine parvifolia, a bromélia Aechmea maasii (anteriormente identificada como Aechmea bromeliifolia, que agora é c… Show more

“…Similarly, the nuclear data also seem to indicate that gene flow between forests and restingas has been maintained although pollen dispersal (Figures and ). These findings are in agreement with previous hypotheses that pre‐adapted or highly plastic rainforest species repeatedly colonized the restingas (Araujo, ; Scarano et al., ). In addition, the pervasive interhabitat gene flow uncovered here may help explain the very low level of endemism observed in these sandy communities (Scarano et al., ).…”

“…As in other sandy coastal plains, the environmental conditions found in the restinga impose a series of physiological stresses on plants. The sandy soil has low water‐retention capacity and low nutrient levels, severely impairing resource acquisition (Araujo, ; Rosado & Mattos, ; Scarano, Barros, Loh, de Mattos, & Wendt, ). Furthermore, restingas are open environments that expose plants to high solar irradiation and warmer temperatures than those found in the forest.…”

“…Phenetic analyses, however, indicate that A. maasii is closely related to A. alba and A. lamarchei (Figs 1, 2). Aechmea maasii shows a great ecological plasticity and phenotypic variation in vegetative structures (Scarano et al. , 2002, 2009), but can be characterized by the flowers with yellow corollas and depressed ovate, truncate–apiculate and densely floccose floral bracts (Figs 8D, 10I, J).…”
