“…The strong relation between elevation and distribution of vegetation is probably related to the topographic position along the hillside. In the base of the hillside, soil conditions and topography, such as microclimatic properties, are different when compared to the middle and top of the slope (Veloso & Klein 1959;Klein 1980Klein , 1984Ferreira-Júnior et al 2007;Jones et al 2011;Ferreira-Júnior et al 2012;Marangon et al 2013).…”

More than environmental control at local scales: do spatial processes play an important role in floristic variation in subtropical forests?

Th e eff ect of environmental variables on the plant species distribution in the Atlantic Forest raises the interest of researchers, but few studies, mainly at local scales, analyzed the infl uence of spatial factors on the environment and species distribution. Linear models and spatial correlograms were used to evaluate whether environment and space may predict variations in species composition of trees and shrubs in a Subtropical Rainforest remnant. Th e study area was divided in 25 plots of 400 m², systematically distributed, where individuals with DBH ≥ 5 cm were measured. Elevation and slope were the most important predictors of the fl oristic variations, but space, generally neglected in researches on South American's vegetation, had a relevant infl uence, as a structural component, in terms of environmental variables, and as intrinsic biological component, here probably as result of constraints in species dispersion. Although the origin of great part of the variation in species composition remained unknown, which is common in studies on vegetation, results indicated, for the fi rst time, the complex role of spatial and environmental variables in the composition of trees and shrub species in a Subtropical Rainforest of Brazil.

“…(ii) Are these differences observed among different types of soils? A positive answer is expected, since this ascertainment has already been confirmed in studies conducted in other regions of the Atlantic Subtropical Rainforest (Curcio et al, 2007;Teixeira et al, 2008;Ferreira-Júnior et al, 2012;Marangon et al, 2013;Schaefer et al, 2015).…”

“…On a local scale, geomorphology has been found to perform an important role in describing vegetation floristic and structural variations (Maçaneiro et al, 2016a). In fact, geomorphology determines soil types and their physical and chemical properties (Ferreira-Júnior et al, 2012;Marangon et al, 2013;Santos et al, 2013). Nevertheless, water regime and slopes' erosion are important environmental predictors that can influence vegetation distribution as well (Schaefer et al, 2015).…”

Structural and Floristic Variations in an Atlantic Subtropical Rainforest in Southern Brazil

et al. 2018

The Atlantic Subtropical Rainforest covers a huge area of Santa Catarina state, starting on the coast and going through the Serra Geral. Along its distribution, the vegetation changes according to altitude, geomorphology, and soil. In the attempt to evaluate vegetation variations related to different soil types in an Atlantic Forest remnant, 43 plots of 200 m 2 were sampled. All the individuals with DBH ≥ 5.0 cm were measured. We have found consistent floristic and structural variations, which separated sample plots with Litholic Neosol and Rogosol situated in slopes from those with Yellow-Red Ultisol and Haplic Cambisol, as well as plots with Fluvic Neosol from Haplic Gleisol in plateaus. Species richness increased according to water availability and soil depth, with the plateaus' soils being the richest. Each area was characterized by a range of indicator species and the results indicated that soil attributes are important drivers of vegetation variation.

“…The Mean Annual Precipitation varies from 1200 to 1900 mm. The soil of the TFRD are predominantly dystrophic Red-Yellow latosols, deep soils characterized by high aluminium contents, and dystrophic Red Cambisols, a type of shallower soils (Marangon et al 2013; Nunes et al 2000; Soil Department of Universidade Federal de Vicosa 2020).…”

Native tropical forests hold high levels of diversity, challenging forest restoration of large areas in a global change scenario. For a site-specific restoration is required the understanding of the main influences ruling the assemblages. We aimed to answer three questions. 1) how do environmental variables influence taxonomic, phylogenetic diversities, and the phylogenetic structure in the of Rio Doce Basin (TFRD)? 2) How do environmental variables, phylogenetic structure and the main types of seed dispersal relate to each other? 3) Which information of the TFRD assemblages can be used for ecological restoration and conservation? We used 78 sites with their checklists to calculate taxonomic, and phylogenetic diversities, phylogenetic structures, and dispersal proportions. Then, we related the diversities of the sites to their bioclimatic variables and built GLM models. Species richness was influenced negatively by water excess duration, by water deficit duration, and positively by maximum temperature, and temperature seasonality. Water regime drives diversity and phylogenetic community structure in the TFRD more than other variables. Annual precipitation and maximum temperature presented the clearer influences on diversity and phylogenetic structure. Zoochory was positively, and anemochory, autochory were negatively related to sesMPD. By choosing the lineages with high fitness for each site, the functioning and the stability of ecosystems should increase. The addition of species with anemochory and autochory increases functional and phylogenetic diversity in areas with extreme water excess or water deficit, important in a global change scenario. A high proportion of zoochory allows the communities to function conserving dispersers, biodiversity, and services.Implications for practiceThe use of objective methods based on community assembly rules enhances the choice of species, and of phylogenetic lineages better fitted to the bioclimatic profiles of the areas to be restored, improving the functioning and stability of the restored forests.The water purification service should be improved through forest restoration as much as possible because ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation are co-benefits of restored forests.The inclusion of species with anemochory, and autochory in forest restoration practices should become usual, as they increase functional, and phylogenetic diversities, and as a consequence, the ecosystem stability.A large proportion of species with zoochory in restored forests co-benefits taxonomic diversity, phylogenetic diversity, and ecosystem stability.
