Community structure of vascular plants in treefall gaps and fire-disturbed habitats in the Atlantic rainforest, southern Bahia, Brazil

Abstract: -(Community structure of vascular plants in treefall gaps and fire-disturbed habitats in the Atlantic rainforest, southern Bahia, Brazil). The effects of disturbances on plant community structure in tropical forests have been widely investigated. However, a majority of these studies examined only woody species, principally trees, whereas the effects of disturbances on the whole assemblage of vascular plants remain largely unexplored. At the present study, all vascular plants < 5m tall were surveyed in four hab… Show more

“…Furthermore, fire events were reported, as supported by the occurrence of dense stands of P. arachnoideum , an indicator species of fire‐disturbed habitats (Martini et al. ). Since 2000, vegetation was allowed to regenerate in some stretches of this canopy opening because the electricity towers there are high enough (e.g.…”

“…No último inventário (66 meses após o fogo), houve redução tanto em espécies quanto em indivíduos, havendo substituição de espécies pioneiras comuns em clareiras (RODRIGUES et al, 2005). Martini et al (2007) relataram diminuição no número total de espécies das áreas que foram queimadas. Esses resultados corroboram os de Batista e Soares (1997), que indicaram haver diminuição na riqueza de espécies após incêndios intensos, devido aos altos índices de mortalidade.…”
