Spatial organization of a bromeliad community in the Atlantic rainforest, south-eastern Brazil

Abstract: The habit, shade-tolerance and dispersal agent of 19 bromeliad species were studied in a rainforest community in order to relate specific traits to the spatial occurrence of the species. Highest density was found in riparian forest (RF), followed by restinga scrub (RE), rocky shore (RS) and dense canopy forest (DF). Terrestrial bromeliads occurred in open sites (RE and RS), epiphytes were absent in RS and facultative species occupied all four habitats. Bird-dispersed bromeliads occurred in the upper canopy, wh… Show more

“…Adaptado de Maack (1950 esteve presente em 31% das espécies, com destaque para as pertencentes às famílias Cactaceae e Piperaceae. Segundo Fischer & Araujo (1995), as espécies anemocóricas tendem a habitar a copa do hospedeiro em busca de zonas mais altas, enquanto que as espécies zoocóricas ocupam estratos de alturas mais baixas. Sinningia douglasii foi a única espécie considerada autocórica.…”

“…This is probably the case with the epiphytic fl ora in the Jacarepiá dry forest, with an annual rainfall below 1000 mm (Sá 1992). Comparatively, rainfall in Jacarepiá is more similar to the dry forests from Ecuador (800 mm y -1 ) than to other Atlantic forests located in Panama or Brazil (Fischer & Araújo 1995, Zotz et al 1999, Zotz & Vollrath 2003, Borgo & Silva 2003, Gonçalves & Waechter 2003, with annual precipitations above 1,600 mm.…”
