“…The Atlantic rainforest is Brazil's richest biome in terms of seedless vascular plants, and approximately 40% of the fern and lycophyte species that occur in the Atlantic rainforest are endemic to this biome (Forzza et al 2012). Ferns and lycophytes are considered important indicators of environmental quality, because they are responsive to changes in abiotic factors (Ferrer-Castán & Vetaas 2005;Silva et al 2011) such as humidity (Windisch 1992) and light availability (Sharpe & Mehltreter 2010).…”

“…Nesse contexto destaca-se o bioma Caatinga, que constitui um rico ecossistema exclusivamente brasileiro, com grande diversidade de espécies e elevada incidência de endemismo. Em recente levantamento florístico de todo o território brasileiro, o bioma caatinga apresentou o total de 4.322 espécies de plantas com sementes, sendo 744 endêmicas deste bioma, o que corresponde a 17,2% do total de táxons registrados (Forzza et al, 2012;Cordeiro & Felix, 2013).…”
