  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Academic Editor: Marcello Iriti Received: 13 August 2015 / Accepted: 25 September 2015 / Published: 9 October 2015 Abstract: Myrcia is one of the largest genera of the economically important family Myrtaceae. Some of the species are used in folk medicine, such as a group known as “pedra-hume-caá” or “pedra-ume-caá” or “insulina vegetal” (insulin plant) that it is used for the treatment of diabetes. The species are an important source of essential oils, and most of the chemical studies on Myrcia describe the chemical composition of the essential oils, in which mono- and sesquiterpenes are predominant. The non-volatile compounds isolated from Myrcia are usually flavonoids, tannins, acetophenone derivatives and triterpenes. Anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antioxidant, antimicrobial activities have been described to Myrcia essential oils, while hypoglycemic, anti-hemorrhagic and antioxidant activities were attributed to the extracts.

Abstract The present study describes four new species of the exclusively Neotropical Myrcia s.l., which includes the genera Calyp- tranthes, Marlierea and Myrcia. The new species are named Myrcia cataphyllata (related to Myrcia bicolor), Myrcia elevata (related to Marlierea velutina), Myrcia megaphylla (very distinct from other species of Myrcia) and Myrcia sessilissima (related to Myrcia tomentosa). They are endemic to their respective biomes: one endemic to the Amazon forest (M. elevata); one from the Campo Rupestre (‘Rocky Fields’) vegetation (M. sessilissima); and two from the Atlantic Forest (M. cataphyl- lata and M. megaphylla). In addition to the descriptions, the study provides illustrations and comments about the distribu- tion, habitat, phenology and taxonomic affinities of these species. Introduction Myrtaceae comprises about 2,500 species in the Neotropical region (Murray-Smith et al. 2008); this diversity is concentrated in the eastern portion of South America, in the Guiana Highlands and in the Caribbean (McVaugh 1968, 1969).

  • Species Convergence Into Life-Forms in a Hyperseasonal Cerrado in Central Brazil Silva, IA.* and Batalha, MA
    Species convergence into life-forms in a hyperseasonal cerrado in central Brazil Silva, IA.* and Batalha, MA. Laboratório de Ecologia Vegetal, Departamento de Botânica, Universidade Federal de São Carlos – UFSCar, CP 676, CEP 13565-905, São Carlos, SP, Brazil *e-mail: [email protected] Received September 21, 2006 – Accepted November 30, 2006 – Distributed May 31, 2008 (With 3 figures) Abstract Whether the functional structure of ecological communities is deterministic or historically contingent is still quite con- troversial. However, recent experimental tests did not find effects of species composition variation on trait convergence and therefore the environmental constraints should play the major role on community convergence into functional groups. Seasonal cerrados are characterized by a sharp seasonality, in which the water shortage defines the community functioning. Hyperseasonal cerrados experience additionally waterlogging in the rainy season. Here, we asked whether waterlogging modifies species convergences into life-forms in a hyperseasonal cerrado. We studied a hyperseasonal cerrado, comparing it with a nearby seasonal cerrado, never waterlogged, in Emas National Park, central Brazil. In each area, we sampled all vascular plants by placing 40 plots of 1 m2 plots in four surveys. We analyzed the species convergences into life-forms in both cerrados using the Raunkiaer’s life-form spectrum and the index of divergence from species to life-form diversity (IDD). The overall life-form spectra and IDDs were not different, indicating that waterlogging did not affect the composition of functional groups in the hyperseasonal cerrado. However, there was a seasonal variation in IDD values only in the hyperseasonal cerrado. As long as we did not find a seasonal variation in life-form diversity, the seasonal variation of convergence into life-forms in the hyperseasonal cerrado was a conse- quence of the seasonal variation of species diversity.

  • Método Para La Evaluación Del Riesgo De Eliminación De Los Ecosistemas Terrestres De Venezuela
    108 Portadilla III. Vista panorámica de Lagunillas, estado Mérida. Leonardo Ruíz-Díaz Método para la evaluación del riesgo de eliMinación de los ecosisteMas terrestres de venezuela El presente análisis se centra en las formaciones vegetales presentes en Venezuela para 2010, identifi­ cadas por Huber y Oliveira­Miranda (vid. supra, cap. I: Figura 8). Su clasificación corresponde a las principales formas de crecimiento de la vegetación: arbórea, arbustiva y herbácea divididas a su vez en tipos, de acuerdo con sus características fisiológicas, topográficas y geográficas. Las formaciones arbóreas ocupan más de la mitad de la superficie terrestre de Venezuela (54%), mientras que las herbáceas abarcan 18% y las arbustivas 6%. Las áreas intervenidas alcanzan alrededor de 22% del territorio nacional. Las formaciones vegetales de Venezuela tienen patrones de distribución diferentes a las unidades de paisaje (vid. supra, cap. I: Figura 9) y varias de ellas se encuentran en diversas áreas geográficas, algunas en forma continua y otras de manera claramente fragmentada. Estas dos condiciones, presencia en diferentes áreas geográficas y grado de continuidad, generan diferencias cualitativas y cuantitativas en términos de la composición de especies. Es por esto que una misma formación puede estar integrada por varios tipos específicos de vegetación o fitocenosis, en algunos con diferentes niveles de endemismo o de riqueza de especies, y muy particularmente, con diferencias en cuanto al grado de intervención que acusan. En las siguientes secciones se analizan las características de cada tipo de formación vegetal, los cambios en su distribución en los últimos 20 años y su proyección hacia las próximas tres décadas, suponiendo que las condiciones permanecerán constantes hasta el año 2040.
