“…Our results illustrate the diversity of information available regarding aquatic plants present in scientific publications, circumscribes this group of species and serves as a source of data about them. Similar databases and electronic infrastructures of this type (GBIF 2017; SiBBr 2017; Species Link 2017; Flora do Brasil 2020) can be developed for other floras in the future (Canhos et al 2015;Costello 2015), resulting in efforts to integrate knowledge of plant diversity in a Brazilian context (Silva et al 2017). In addition to the analyses presented herein, which can serve as a model for future publications of similar nature for other regions, or even for the Southeast, the data repository will evolve and begin to support research on other themes.…”

Initiatives directed at managing information on aquatic plants can support different areas of scientific research, educational practices and political decisions for sustainable management and protection of wetlands and natural resources, as well as reveal knowledge gaps regarding aquatic plants and wetlands. Furthermore, such initiatives can contribute directly to consolidating wetland classification systems in Brazil. The objectives of this work are to present and explore the use of a data repository and online platform created specifically for the management of data on aquatic plants in Brazil. The data repository for aquatic plants was developed to store information on species occurrence records in a standardized form considering: systematics, taxonomy, habit, life form, geographic distribution, hydrographic basin, wetland, bibliographic references and herbarium material. A total of 3,903 records referring to the Southeast Region of Brazil were generated for the data repository. This total encompassed 1,036 species distributed among 132 families and 466 genera. Our results illustrate the diversity of information available regarding aquatic plants, circumscribe this group of species and serve as a source of data about them. Similar databases and electronic infrastructures can be developed for other flora in the future.

“…The collection is completely digitised and it is managed using the JABOT system (Silva et al 2017, Gonzales 2009), which was developed by JBRJ staff. With the implementation of the REFLORA project (Forzza et al 2015a, Nic Lughadha et al 2016), nearly 100% of the mounted specimens were photographed and are available through the public interface of the JABOT system and in other biodiversity portals, such as the Reflora Virtual Herbarium (Forzza et al 2015a), the Brazilian Biodiversity Information System (SiBBr) (Gadelha et al 2014) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (Robertson et al 2014).…”

BackgroundThis paper provides a quantitative and general description of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden herbarium (RB) dataset. Created over a century ago, the RB currently comprises ca. 750,000 mounted specimens, with a strong representation of Brazilian flora, mainly from the Atlantic and Amazon forests. Nearly 100% of these specimens have been entered into the database and imaged and, at present, about 17% have been geo-referenced. This data paper is focused exclusively on RB's exsiccatae collection of land plants and algae, which is currently increasing by about twenty to thirty thousand specimens per year thanks to fieldwork, exchange and donations. Since 2005, many national and international projects have been implemented, improving the quality and accessibility of the collection. The most important facilitating factor in this process was the creation of the institutional system for plants collection and management, named JABOT. Since the RB is continuously growing, the dataset is updated weekly on SiBBr and GBIF portals.New informationThe most represented environments are the Atlantic and Amazon forests, a biodiversity hotspot and the world's largest rain forest, respectively. The dataset described in this article contains the data and metadata of plants and algae specimens in the RB collection and the link to access the respective images. Currently, the RB data is publicly available online at several biodiversity portals, such as our institutional database JABOT, the Reflora Virtual Herbarium, the SiBBr and the GBIF portal. However, a description of the RB dataset as a whole is not available in the literature.

18The influence of environmental factors on the structure and composition of plant 19 communities in the Caatinga is complex and poorly explored. Spatial variation of 20 biodiversity in Caatinga is poorly know and strictly attributed to climatic conditions. 21 We investigated the influence of slags on floristic composition and structure of a 22 shrubby-arboreal community in one of the driest region in Brazil. Chemical and 23 physical analyses of soils were performed in samples of seven plots from savannic 24 formations and from forest formations. Vegetation was characterized floristically and 25 structurally in all plots. Habitats were structurally distinct, and diversity differed 2 26between peripheral and non-peripheral areas of slags. Nine of the ninety-seven species 27 identified are reported to (sub)humid biomes. Soils are dominantly shallow, eutrophic 28 and sandy loam. However, soils in the periphery of slags are more developed once 29 paludization, melanization and bioturbation were verified. Our results suggest that soil 30 fertility did not influence vegetable cover in Caatinga. The cover of plant species 31 considered exclusive of (sub)humid biomes in Brazil extends beyond highlands in the 32 semiarid, associated with high soil organic carbon content and water retention capacity 33 of more developed soils than the typical of the Caatinga. 34 35 36 Dryland biomes cover 41.5 % of the Earth's surface, with seasonally dry tropical 37 forests occupying approximately 1,327 million hectares within this area [1]. The largest 38 area of continuous dry tropical rainforests in Latin America occurs in Brazil, with 39 approximately 800.00 km². Popularly called as Caatinga (Mata Branca), most trees and 40shrubs lose their leaves in the dry season, which can last up to nine months a year in 41 certain regions [2]. 42 Caatinga is a Brazilian exclusive biome composed by different plant formations 43 [3] and its diversity is considered one of the most biodiverse among semiarid biomes 44 [4,5]. Among the several ecosystems that exist in the Caatinga, granitic intrusions in the 45 form of inselbergs, massive, slags (lajedos in portuguese) and bornhardts cover 15 % of 46 the total area of the northern Brazilian Northeast [6]. 47Low developed, shallow and eutrophic soils are dominant in Caatinga due to 48 tropical dry climate. However, high local diversity of soils has been attributed to 49 variance of lithology and, or, relief by recent studies [7]. Understood soil diversity is a 50 relevant task, especially considering that plant distribution is conditionate by soil 3 51 properties [8,9]. Soil influences plant physiognomies in Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) 52[10], Restinga forest [11], Amazonia rainforest [12,13], Tundra [14] and other biomes 53 around the world [15,16]. However, species diversity in Caatinga is poorly know [17] 54 and strictly attributed to climatic conditions [18][19][20]. 55The purpose of this study was to investigate a vegetation gradient at preserved 56 slabs in Caatinga, and t...
