Abstract
“Capoes” are home to one of the greatest biological assets of the Serra do Espinhaco Biosphere Reserve and its conservation depends on extensive and detailed knowledge of its species. us, the aim of this study was to evaluate the floristic composition of the arboreal community of this vegetation. For this purpose, we selected 22 capoes marshes and forests in two Conservation Units: Semper-Vivas National Park and Biribiri State Park. e sampling of arboreal vegetation was carried out in permanent plots installed randomly inside the forests. For the total set of capoes, we found 1692 arboreal individuals, distributed in 112 species and 40 botanical families. e most representative species was Richeria grandis. e composition of the areas included generalist and typical species from humid environments and savanna (Cerrado) vegetation. Our results show that despite occupying a small territorial portion, these environments are important centers of multi-taxonomic biodiversity.
