“…This result may be associated with a greater sampling effort made in the first two regionally well-studied vegetation types Pereira & Zambom 1998;Assis et al 2004;Rolim et al 2016), and also to the high amount of endemism found in forests above 800 m altitude (Thomaz & Monteiro 1997). Among the registered species, Leucochloron incuriale has a wide distribution, but within the state of Espírito Santo its occurrence is limited to APAMA, which is possibly associated with the scarcity of collections (Chagas et al 2017).…”

Floristic inventory and conservation of one of the most striking coastal mountains in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

et al. 2022

The Atlantic Forest is made up of different vegetation types over extensive latitude. Most of its remnants are in mountain ranges, which are responsible for the maintenance of most endemic and threatened species in this domain. Here we present the floristic composition of the Área de Proteção Ambiental Mestre Álvaro (APAMA), a coastal massif at Espírito Santo State with expressive altitudinal amplitude (100-800 a.s.l.) containing remnants never floristically studied. Knowing the composition of this protected area is important because it includes an altitudinal range not yet evaluated in floristic comparisons involving highland and lowland forests between the latitudes 18-21° S. We found 493 species (in 292 genera and 91 families): ten are regional endemic species, nine are new records of occurrence for the state, and 52 are under some degree of threat of extinction. Our results indicate the presence of flora elements' typical of both highland and lowland forests, which makes the APAMA essential in a scenario extremely fragmented. Finally, our data provide an unprecedented floristic list for regional forest restoration projects, as well as an invaluable source of data for biogeographic studies that seek to understand the effect caused by neighboring vegetation types on the composition of lowland forests.

“…These efforts resulted in the publication of several taxonomic and floristic studies for selected plant families in subsequent years (e.g. Luber et al 2016 , Pena and Alves-Araújo 2017 , Silva et al 2017 , Chagas et al 2017 , Souza et al 2017 , Araújo et al 2018 , Torres-Leite et al 2018 , Moreira et al 2020a , Moreira et al 2020b ). Despite that, the State includes multiple knowledge gaps and botanical data remain scattered ( Garbin et al 2017 ).…”

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in the world. Despite that, this biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several protected areas, such as the "Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto" ("Flona do Rio Preto"), located in the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular plant species list for this protected area from the "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil" as the basis to synthesise the species richness, endemism, conservation and new species occurrences found in the "Flona do Rio Preto". The published list of vascular plants was based on field expeditions conducted between 2018 and 2020 and data obtained from herbarium collections available in online databases. Overall, 722 species were documented for the "Flona do Rio Preto", 711 of which are native to Brazil and 349 are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. In addition, 60 species are geographically disjunct between the Atlantic and the Amazon Forests. Most of the documented species are woody and more than 50% of these are trees. Twenty-three species are threatened (CR, EN and VU), while five are Data Deficient (DD). Thirty-two species are new records for the State of Espírito Santo. Our results expand the knowledge of the flora of the Atlantic Forest and provide support for the development of new conservation policies for this protected area.

“…No Brasil, destacam-se floras estaduais (e.g. Filardi et al 2016;Chagas et al 2017) e o tratamento para a Flora do Brasil (Morim et al 2020), o qual ainda carece de descrições completas e comentários para as espécies.…”
