“…Several studies with aquatic and/or marshy plants have found the predominance of amphibious species (Bove et al, 2003;França et al, 2003;Kita and Sousa, 2003;Matias, Amado & Nunes. 2003;Roque and Ramirez, 2008;Spellmeier, Périco & Freitas, 2009;França et al, 2010;Kafer et al, 2011;Meyer and Franceschinelli, 2011;Campelo et al, 2013;Moura-Júnior et al, 2013;Aona et al, 2015;Torres et al, 2016;Souza and Moreira, 2017), indicating that this lifeform is present in this type of ecosystem. The floristic assemblies that present the most diversity of amphibious plants are generally associated with the surrounding matrix being more conserved or in a natural state, as seen in the aforementioned studies.…”
