Abstract
Heterogeneity of a Tree Species Community in an Alluvial Area of Santa Catarina, Brazil
Highlights
The Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF) is located in the Atlantic Forest, occurring in the Brazilian southern plateau in fragmented areas in the southeast region and neighboring countries (Paraguay and Argentina) (Roderjan et al, 2002)
The tree community has shown a floristic-structural composition similar to that of other alluvial forests already studied in southern and southeastern Brazil, with a high richness of the Myrtaceae family, but with a low total richness, which along with the high ecological dominance resulted in low diversity
The high dominance reflected the significant participation of three main species – Sebastiania commersoniana, Eugenia uniflora and Blepharocalyx salicifolius
Summary
The Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF) is located in the Atlantic Forest, occurring in the Brazilian southern plateau in fragmented areas in the southeast region and neighboring countries (Paraguay and Argentina) (Roderjan et al, 2002). This formation is known for a notable presence of Brazilian pine tree (Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze) in a diverse association with important species, such as erva‐mate Adaptation to environments that are subject to periodic flooding is necessary as the soil air (oxygen) is replaced by water, reducing the amount of oxygen available for plants and creating a hypoxic or anoxic environment (Lobo & Joly, 2000)
