“…Studies on structural (Martin 1985;Lenzi et al 2006;Cavallero et al 2009;Marcondes et al 2018) and functional (Martin 1985;Zorger et al 2019) adaptive aspects of Bromeliaceae species are scarce, and the existing ones usually have a taxonomic nature (Aoyama & Sajo 2003;Arruda & Costa 2003;Proença & Sajo 2004;Souza et al 2005;Ferreira et al 2007;Marcondes et al 2018). Thus, this study aims at assessing the morpho-anatomical plasticity and photosynthetic pigment contents ofVriesea neoglutinosa and Vriesea procera in Open Clusia and Dry Forest formations in Parque Estadual Paulo César Vinha, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, so as to identify their adaptive character to different environments.…”
