“…Herbs are important to the flora of restingas in the Santa Isabel Biological Reserve because most of this protected area is covered by large areas of herbaceous vegetation types . The herbaceous habit was also prominent in the restingas of Sergipe and Ceará states (Santos-Filho et al 2011;Matias and Nunes 2001). It shows the importance of pioneer species in restinga environments due to their adaptations to adverse local conditions.…”

“…The high diversity of restinga vegetation is recorded in several floristic inventories conducted along the Brazilian coast, such as those from the the states of Rio Grande do Sul (Rambo 1954), Santa Catarina (Reitz 1961), Rio de Janeiro (Pereira and Araujo 2000), Espírito Santo (Pereira and Araujo 2000), São Paulo (Martins et al 2008), Pernambuco (Zickel et al 2007), Amapá and Pará (Amaral et al 2008), Ceará (Santos-Filho et al 2011), Bahia (Gomes and Guedes 2014), Sergipe and Piauí (Santos-Filho et al 2015). The South and Southeastern regions of Brazil show the biggest number of floristic studies on restingas (Zickel et al 2004).…”

The current study presents a list of angiosperm species collected in restinga areas of Santa Isabel Biological Reserve, in the northern coast of Sergipe state. We gathered a preliminary floristic list using herbarium records, and subsequently supplemented it by performing new field samplings. The results showed considerable richness and comprised 260 species, 184 genera and 78 families. Forty-seven out of the 260 species are new records to Sergipe restingas. Fabaceae (28 species), Cyperaceae (21 species) and Rubiaceae and Poaceae (12 species) were the most representative families. Rhynchospora Vahl (six species), Polygala L. (five species) and Byrsonima Rich.ex Kunth, Cuphea P.Browne, Cyperus L. and Utricularia L. (four pecies) were the most speciose genera. The herbs were the most frequent habit (122 species or 47% of the total).

“…and Manilkara Subsericea, respectively), Sapotaceae is the family that has had the highest VI. Along the northern and northeastern coasts, Sapotaceae is also not among the most species-rich families, only four species or fewer having been observed (Freire 1990;Sacramento et al 2007;Santos-Filho et al 2011). Studies addressing the structural contribution of these species in the communities of the northern and northeastern Brazil are scarce, which precludes comparisons across studies.…”

Th e Brazilian shrublands area (restinga) is composed of marine coast vegetation on Quaternary sandy plains, where the species composition can vary depending on the surrounding ecosystems. Th e aims of this study were to describe the structure and fl oristic composition of a restinga near the community of Itaúnas, in the northern part of the state of Espírito Santo, to identify any relationships between this restinga and surrounding plant formations, and to determine which are the species that occur preferentially in the coastal forests of Espírito Santo. We sampled woody plants with a diameter at breast height ≥ 2.5 cm, excluding lianas, in 50 plots of 100 m². We selected studies of coastal forests in the states of Espírito Santo and Bahia to prepare a database that would reveal patterns of fl oristic variation among these areas. We used two-way indicator species analysis for the identifi cation of the species that occur preferentially in the coastal forests of Espírito Santo. We identifi ed 114 species belonging to 38 families. Species richness was greatest for Myrtaceae (26 species), followed by Fabaceae (10). Th e Shannon index for the study area was 3.96. Th e estimated total density was 3,330 individuals/ha and basal area was 32.02 m²/ha. Th e highest importance value (IV) was for Protium heptaphyllum (IV, 23.4), indicating that it is characteristic of the Espírito Santo restinga. Th e results of our fl oristic analysis indicate that the species composition of the Itaúnas restinga is infl uenced by the so-called tabuleiro forests (coastal lowland forests on Tertiary deposits), which are most common in northern Espírito Santo. Th is seems to be the main factor responsible for the gradual reduction in fl oristic similarity between the restingas in the north of Espírito Santo and those in the south of the state, each constituting a distinct fl oristic block. In addition, we generated lists of species that occur preferentially in the restinga and tabuleiro forests. Th ose lists could inform decisions regarding environmental restoration programs.

“…The most preserved restinga is Jurubatiba, followed by Açu (represented by NPPR Caruara), Grussaí and Gargaú, respectively, the latter being in an advanced state of anthropic degradation. The lack of preservation of plant species has causes a great loss of biodiversity [62]. This condition can be correlated to the number of Alternaria isolates bioprospected, since the greatest number of isolates were obtained from the most preserved restinga and only one isolate was found in the Gargaú restinga, where agricultural activity has practically destroyed this environment.…”
