A Floresta Atlântica da Serra do Mar possui diferentes fisionomias que refletem as diferentes comunidades ocorrentes ao longo do gradiente de altitude. Esse estudo foi realizado em Floresta Ombrófila Densa Submontana, em Ubatuba - SP e é parte integrante do Projeto Temático Biota Gradiente Funcional - FAPESP. O objetivo geral desse trabalho foi investigar a Floresta Ombrófila Densa Submontana da Mata Atlântica quanto aos atributos florais e polinização. Foram estudadas as especies angiospermas encontradas em floração durante um ano, registrando seus atributos e visitantes florais, a forma de vida e estrato, então as síndromes de polinização foram inferidas. Foram registradas 95 espécies ao todo, de 39 famílias. Fabaceae e Rubiaceae apresentaram maior numero de espécies em flor (oito espécies cada), mas a maioria das famílias apresentou poucas espécies. Os atributos florais predominantes foram: tubo e inconspícuo como tipos morfológicos; tamanho pequeno; as cores mais frequentes foram branco e amarelo; como recurso, néctar seguido de pólen. Em 26 espécies observou-se visitação de animais de vários tipos, principalmente abelhas, beija-flores e borboletas e em alguns casos a polinização pode ser confirmada. A síndrome de polinização mais frequente na comunidade foi melitofilia, seguido de ornitofilia e sistemas mistos foram observados em 21,1% das espécies. A forma de vida mais frequente foi arbórea, seguido de liana e epífita; o estrato onde se observou maior número de espécies florindo foi o dossel. As distribuições dos recursos florais e das síndromes de polinização por formas de vida, estrato e temporal foram analisadas. A maior frequencia de plantas florindo foi observada durante a estação mais quente e chuvosa, de out/2009 a jan/2010. As principais diferenças espaciais e temporais ocorreram entre as síndromes de melitofilia e ornitofilia. Essa fitofisionomia apresentou algumas peculiaridades em relação a outras fisionomias e a outros ecossistemas, sendo, portanto, de grande importância a conservação das interações ecológicas dessa formação vegetal para a manutenção da grande biodiversidade da Floresta Atlântica / Abstract: Studies on floral biology and pollination at community level are very important to understand the ecosystems structure and functioning. Atlantic Forest at Serra do Mar has different physiognomies that reflect different communities along altitudinal gradient. This study was done in Submontane Ombrophilous Dense Forest, at Ubatuba - SP and integrates the Thematic Project Biota Gradiente Funcional - FAPESP. The general purpose of this study was to investigate the Submontane Ombrophilous Dense Forest of Atlantic Forest about floral traits and pollination. The angiosperms species found flowering during one year was studied, registering its floral traits, floral visitors, life forms and strata, so the pollination syndromes were deduced. 95 species was registered of 39 families. Fabaceae e Rubiaceae had the highest number of species in bloom (eight species each), but most families had few species. Predominant floral traits were: tube and inconspicuous as morphological types; small size; most common colors were white and yellow; as resource, nectar followed by pollen. In 26 species, several types of animals were observed visiting flowers, mainly bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, and in some cases the pollination was confirmed. The most frequent pollination syndrome in the community was melittophily, followed by ornithophily and mixed systems were observed in 21.1% of the species. The most frequent life form was tree, after liana and epiphyte; the strata where was observed major number of species was canopy. Distributions of floral resources and pollination syndromes in life forms, strata and temporal was analyzed. The higher frequency of plants flowering was observed during the hot and wet season, from oct/2009 to jan/2010. The main special and temporal differences occurred between melittophily and ornithophily syndromes. This fitophysiognomy showed some particularities in relation to other physiognomies and other ecosystems, and therefore are very important the conservation of ecological interactions of this vegetation type to maintain the great biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest / Mestrado / Biologia Vegetal / Mestre em Biologia Vegetal Distribuição temporal Floresta ombrofila densa submontana Floral traits Pollination syndromes Temporal distribution Submontane ombrophilous dense forest

Foram instalados três blocos de 40 parcelas em uma encosta, em solo argiloso e em cotas altitudinais distintas. Também foram instalados três blocos de 20 parcelas em uma planície, a 1,5 km da encosta, em intervalos de 1,5 km entre cada bloco na direção do mar e em solo arenoso. Foram marcados e medidos todos os indivíduos arbóreos com PAP ? 15 cm. A área total amostrada foi de 1,8 ha. Foram feitas análises de agrupamento e ordenação a partir de matrizes de abundância de espécies para verificar a presença de padrões, grupos ou gradientes. Foi aplicado o Mantel simples para testar a correlação entre uma matriz de dissimilaridades das parcelas (índice de Bray-Curtis e abundância de espécies) e uma matriz de dados abióticos (distância Euclidiana simples e nutrientes no solo, altitude e declividade). Foi aplicado o teste de Mantel parcial para verificar se existia correlação entre estas matrizes mesmo quando levadas em conta as distâncias geográficas. Foi feita a Análise Canônica de Correspondências (CCA) a partir das matrizes de abundância de espécies e dos dados abióticos para verificar a existência de relações entre as mesmas. Foram marcados e medidos 3415 indivíduos, pertencentes a 201 espécies e 55 famílias. Foi encontrada uma diferenciação clara entre a composição e distribuição de abundância de espécies da floresta da encosta e a da floresta da planície. Entretanto, ocorreram espécies comuns à ambas as formações. Provavelmente, as espécies comuns possuem uma plasticidade ecológica ampla e são capazes de tolerar as condições mais extremas de escassez de nutrientes e alagamento da planície. Os resultados da CCA e dos testes de Mantel simples e parcial sugerem que parte da diferenciação entre a floresta da encosta e a da planície provavelmente está relacionada com o teor de areia, Magnésio e pH do solo, declividade e altitude. Apesar disso, a maior parte da inércia encontrada não pôde ser explicada pelas variáveis abióticas mensuradas. A composição de espécies da planície não se mostrou uniforme, uma vez que o techo mais próximo do mar se diferenciou claramente dos demais. Os resultados da CCA indicaram que isso pode estar relacionado com um gradiente de areia no solo. A composição florística e a estrutura da floresta de encosta se mostrou mais uniforme do que a da planície. Não ocorreram correlações significativas entre a abundância de espécies na encosta e as variáveis abióticas na encosta quando foi levada em conta as distâncias geográficas. Possivelmente, eventos estocásticos tais como dispersão ou interferência antrópica ou outras variáveis bióticas e abióticas não mensuradas podem ter determinado a variação na estrutura espacial encontrada na encosta. O determinismo ecológico parece exercer um papel mais importante na escala da paisagem do que na escala local no presente estudo. Estudos complementares enfocando outros aspectos tais como dispersão, competição ou outras variáveis abióticas não mensuradas podem ser úteis para auxiliar no esclarecimento das principais causas dos padrões espaciais encontrados que não ficaram claras no modelo. / Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of soil nutrients and microrelief on the variation in the spatial structure of the Atlantic Dense Ombrophilous Forest vegetation. Three blocks of 40 plots were established in a steep slope forest, a clay soil, at three altitudinal levels. Three other blocks of 20 plots were established in a lowland forest, in a poor sandy soil. Area "D" is 1,5 km from the steep slope, and areas "E" and "F" at further 1,5 km intervals in the direction of the coast. All the trees individual with PBH ? 15 cm were collected. The total area sampled was 1.8 ha. Classification and ordination analysis were applied to an abundance matrix in order to analyse the similarities among samples, patch structure or gradients. Floristic dissimilarities among plots (Bray-Curtis index computed with species abundance in each plot) were correlated with environmental distances among plots (Euclidian distance index computed with nutrients soil data, altitude and declivity in each plot) and geographic distances among plots (Euclidian distance index) through Mantel and partial Mantel tests. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was applied to species abundance and abiotic data to detect species-environment relations. It was found 3415 individuals of 201 species and 55 families. A clear separation among plots of the steep slope forest and the lowland forest was found, although, there were species common to both vegetation types. The CCA and partial Mantel test results suggested that part of this spatial structure differentiation seems to be related to sand percentage, Magnesium and pH of the soil, declivity and altitude. Nevertheless, a large part of the inertia could not be explained by the abiotic data. The species common to both areas probably have a broad ecological plasticity and can tolerate the extreme condictions of poor nutrients avaiability and flooding of the lowland. The lowland forest flora was not uniform and two communities were recognised in that area. The CCA results indicate that these could be related with the texture gradient in the lowland soil. The floristic composition and the structure of the steep slope forest was more regular than the lowland forest. There were no correlation among species abundance and abiotic factors when geographic space was taken into account. Possibly stochastic events such as dispersion and human impacts or other unmeasured factors could determine the spatial structure found, together with to unexplained inertia. Ecological determinism seems to play a more important role at the landscape scale than at the local scale in this study. Studies focusing other aspects such as dispersion, competition or other unmeasured abiotic data could be helpful in clarifying the main causes of the unexplained patterns found in this study. / Doutorado / Biologia Vegetal / Doutor em Bilogia Vegetal Floresta ombrofila densa submontana Comunidade arborea Solos Mata Atlântica Mata Atlantica - Brazil Submontane dense ombrophilous forest Lowland dense ombrophilous forest Tree community Soils Microrelief
4	Methodological investigations on vegetation typology and phytogeography of rain forests of tropical Africa Senterre, Bruno B.M.L. 17 June 2005 (has links) I. An original methodological discussion is proposed on the problem of the typology of tropical rain forest’s plant communities, based on the study of forest types across gradients of continentality and elevation, within Atlantic central Africa. These investigations were based on the statement that the main problems in forest typology are related to the non-zonal or zonal character of the different vegetation types and to non considering the relations and differences between forest strata. II. Field data consisted in phytosociological homogeneous sample plots localized within different recognized phytogeographical entities, in a region of tropical Africa where these entities are known to be well conserved. A total of 37 such plots were inventoried in the region extending from the littoral forests of Ndoté, Equatorial Guinea, which are wet evergreen forests, to the continental forests of the Dja, Cameroon, known as evergreen seasonal forests. The studied region also included the oriental Atlantic forests of Equatorial Guinea, known as moist evergreen forests or caesalp forests. In various parts of this continentality gradient, some plots were localized within climax non-zonal formations, namely the submontane rain forests. The emphasis was put on the vegetation of the Monte Alén National Park. The sampling methodology was willing to be as "complete ", including all strata, "quantitative ", enumerating all individuals, and "representative ", within each stratum, as possible. These multi-layers plots were realised using nested sub-plots, with a sampling size of 100 individuals for every ligneous stratum recognized (dominant trees, dominated trees and shrubs) and a sampling size of 200m² for the herbaceous and suffrutex stratum. Forest types were defined independently for each stratum and the differences were analysed. A method was proposed for the simultaneous analysis of all floristic data, converting and standardizing the values from ligneous strata, on the one hand, and from understorey strata, on the other hand. III. Ten forest types were described using IndVal and discussed in the general context of the guineo-congolian region, from a syntaxonomic view point (agglomerative classification) and from a phytogeographical view point (divisive classification). Homologies between these two approaches are described. The proposed phytogeographical system is based on an "open " conception of hierarchical classifications, combining advantages of agglomerative and divisive classifications. In concrete terms, the non-zonal criteria, for example the submontane variants, are categorised separately and in analogy with the zonal criteria, related to the usual phytochoria. Analysis of ecological relationships for the 10 communities showed that the main variables related to the floristic variability in our mainland rain forests are elevation, rainfall, hygrometry (estimated using bryophytes cover levels) and distance to the ocean. The two extremes on the vertical microclimatic gradient, dominant trees stratum and herbaceous stratum, give similar typologies, however canonical analysis showed that for the herbaceous layer, non-zonal variables (hygrometry and elevation) were gaining more importance when the influence of the two zonal variables was attenuated. In every case, spatial autocorrelation was less important than the environment in explaining floristic variability but its role increased in the spatial arrangement of understorey species, whose dispersal capacity is generally lower than canopy trees. The phytosociological, phytogeographical and ecological description of forest types is accompanied by a physiognomical description using biological types spectrum, as well as architectural models, leaf sizes, etc. With regard to diversity, we have demonstrated that species richness was higher from upper to lower strata because of the accumulation in lower strata of species from various strata. On the other hand, the proper stratum diversity, i.e. the structural set, decreased from dominant trees to shrubs. The proper diversity of the herb layer showed relatively high figures mainly due to the higher individual density in relation to the existence of microstrata. Within the 37 sample plots, 1,050 taxa have been identified to species or morpho-species levels, for a total of 25,750 individuals. These taxa represent 442 genus among 104 families. The richest forest type is found on the foothills of the Niefang range, on the windward side. This forest type is also characterised by a high number of oligotypic genus and by species belonging to functional types indicators of glacial refuges. These functional types are defined on the basis of the dispersal capacity and on kind of stand needed for effective germination. We formulated the hypothesis that this kind of "foothills refuge ", characterised by his zonal nature, could have been one of the rare refuges for species from mainland rain forests, while montane and fluvial refuges would mainly have preserved species from non-zonal forest types: (sub)montane and riverine. Based on indicator species of submontane forests, a potential distribution map of this forest type has been realised at the Atlantic central African scale. More than 400 submontane forest localities have been mapped. These forests begin at 400m of altitude near the ocean, and progressively at higher altitude for increasing distance to the ocean. Many lowland localities also comprised submontane species, which could indicate the existence of ecological transgressions. These transgressions would allow migratory tracks for submontane species between isolated mountain ranges, not only during glacial periods, through heights at the northern and southern borders of the congo basin, but also contemporarily through the lowland riverine forest network, in the centre of this basin. Finally, a special attention has been attributed to littoral forests and to some cases of choroecological transgressions, coupled to the ecological equalization phenomenon. plant diversity foothills refuge glacial refuge environmental stability conservation rarefaction curves individuals-area curves species-area curves compensations écologiques Guinée Equatoriale Monte Alén Monts de Cristal Réserve de Ndoté rainforest transgression Monte Alén Cristal mountains strate forestière sous-bois ensemble structural groupe écologique modèles architecturaux guilde types fonctionnels synusie genres monotypiques genres paucispecifiques diversité végétale courbes aire-espèces courbes individus-espèces courbes de raréfaction courbes aire-constance aire minimale morpho-espèces pléistocène constancy-area curves minimal area structural ensemble understorey ecological group synusia oligotypic genus Réserve de Biosphère du Dja Cameroun Quaternaire glaciation refuge glaciaire refuge de pied de massifs montagneux stabilité environnementale conservation transgression forestière phytosociology plant community phytogeography open classification non-zonal nested plots forest types IndVal morphospecies pleistocene littoral forest rain forest afromontane submontane altitudinal belt glaciation Quaternary Equatorial Guinea ecological equalization continentality continentalité étage d’altitude forêt littorale forêt dense humide afromontagnard submontagnard IndVal types forestiers phytosociologie phytogéographie classification ouverte azonal relevés emboîtés multistrates monotypic genus architectural model guild plant functional type Ndoté Reserve Cameroon Dja Biosphere Reserve forest stratum forest layer understory
