“…One of the aspects that attract researchers in search of metabolites with biological properties is the wide diversity of the Brazilian territory, and thus the great diversity of the national flora, since native species are the sources of new bioactive compounds. Campos Gerais is one of these regions, located in the state of Paraná, and has highly diverse vegetation fragments [ 16 ]. Considering the floristic formations, it is a zone where patches of Cerrado occur [ 17 ] in humid tropical and subtropical forests [ 18 ].…”

Weeds pose a problem, infesting areas and imposing competition and harvesting difficulties in agricultural systems. Studies that provide the use of alternative methods for weed control, in order to minimize negative impacts on the environment, have intensified. Native flora represents a source of unexplored metabolites with multiple applications, such as bioherbicides. Therefore, we aimed to carry out a preliminary phytochemical analysis of crude extracts and fractions of Miconia auricoma and M. ligustroides and to evaluate these and the isolated metabolites phytotoxicity on the growth of the target species. The growth bioassays were conducted with Petri dishes with lettuce, morning glory, and sourgrass seeds incubated in germination chambers. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, isolated myricetin, and a mixture of quercetin and myricetin. The results showed that seedling growth was affected in a dose-dependent manner, with the root most affected and the seedlings of the lettuce, morning glory, and sourgrass as the most sensitive species, respectively. Chloroform fractions and myricetin were the most inhibitory bioassays evaluated. The seedlings showed structural changes, such as yellowing, nonexpanded cotyledons, and less branched roots. These results indicate the phytotoxic potential of Miconia allelochemicals, since there was the appearance of abnormal seedlings and growth reduction.

“…11,12 Nevertheless, there are few data about spontaneous recovery in abandoned arable land and after fires. [13][14][15][16] Fires could directly affect plant community structure in grasslands interfering with the growing, survival and reproduction of plants and their seed banks. 16 The secondary vegetal succession starts when resilient species besides other dispersers recolonize the disturbed area.…”

This study compares the plant structure of native and passive regenerated grassland areas in the Vila Velha State Park, southern Brazil. We analyzed four data set and observed that: (i) areas former submitted both to agricultural activity and fire showed lower species diversity (mainly Poaceae) and three abundant taxa (the ruderale grasses Eragrostis airoides, Andropogon bicornis, and Eustachys distichophylla); (ii) in grasslands former cultivated but not burned for the last 10 years, species diversity was slight higher and abundant taxa included the grasses Andropogon bicornis, Paspalum distichum, and Paspalum paspalodes, and the herbs Pteridium arachnoideum and Baccharis dracunculifolia; (iii) in native grasslands, never used for agriculture but recently burned, species diversity is higher but abundant taxa were just the grasses Aristida jubata and Paspalum rhodopedum; (iv) in native grasslands never cultivated nor burned for the last 10 years, species diversity was much higher and abundant taxa were the herbs Grazielia gaudichaudiana, Stevia clausenii, Chrysolaena platensis, and Lessingianthus grandiflorus. Additionally, typical grassland taxa as Chromolaena verbenacea, Allagoptera campestris, Croton antisiphyliticus, Cayaponia espelina, Leandra erostrata, and Byttneria hatschbachii have been found only in the undisturbed area. Thus, the areas showed diverse floristic composition, yet their biodiversity metrics and functional groups did not differ significantly. In summary, despite agriculture and fire decreasing the park species diversity, the base level for spontaneous recovery process did not reach thresholds that would prevent the maintenance of community structure.
