Forms of rarity of tree species in the southern Brazilian Atlantic rainforest (2010, background): “…Phyto-Ecological Region is heterogeneous and composed of many different forest formations (Leitão-Filho 1994) and various associated ecosystems (Scarano 2002) whose species diversity can often be greater than that observed in the Amazon Forest (Silva and Leitão-Filho 1982; Martins 1989;…”
Contrasting effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on beta diversity in river organisms (2013, background): “Such specificity has been observed in species occupying different naturally stressed terrestrial (Scarano, 2002; Mandeel, 2006) and aquatic habitats (e.”
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest: A Shrinking Biodiversity Hotspot (2011, background): “, 1,000–4,200 mm annual rainfall), Atlantic Forest is in fact extremely heterogeneous and encompasses large blocks of evergreen to semi-deciduous forests (the bulk of Atlantic Forest), but also deciduous forests, mangroves, swamps, restingas (coastal forest and scrub on sandy soils), inselbergs, hig”
Plant communities at the periphery of the Atlantic rain forest: rare-species bias and its risks for conservation. (2009, unknown): “; then Leme and Costa (1994) reinstated V. botafogensis; and (b) Wendt (1997) designated Aechmea cariocae L.B. Sm. a synonym of Aechmea squarrosa Baker; then Leme and Rezende (2002) reinstated Aechmea cariocae.”
Phylogeography and genetic differentiation along the distributional range of the orchid Epidendrum fulgens: a Neotropical coastal species not restricted to glacial refugia (2011, background): “Generally, the restinga vegetation is composed of a subsample of species from the BAF and grasslands that are adapted to harsh environments and exhibit broad ecological amplitude (Scarano, 2002).”
Flooding tolerance of Calophyllum brasiliense Camb. (Clusiaceae): morphological, physiological and growth responses (2010, background): “The aim of this work was to study some adaptive strategies that allow C. brasiliense to occur in seasonally and/or permanently flooded areas as the Southeastern Brazilian Coastal Plain Forest, locally named Restinga Forest (Lorenzi 1992; Assis 1999).”
Species composition and biogeographic relations of the rock outcrop flora on the high plateau of Itatiaia, SE-Brazil (2007, background): “There were no species with a generalized distribution in the neighbouring Atlantic forest, unlike other ecosystems found adjacent to the rainforest, such as “restingas” (Araujo et al. 1998, Scarano 2002).”
O conceito de bioma (2006, background): “…sobre o nível do mar, um bioma campestre do Orobioma I; as formações rupestres sobre afloramentos rochosos dos picos das serras, um bioma desse tipo de formação, do litobioma I ou litoorobioma I. Também aqui encontra-se um mosaico de biomas, como mostraram Porembski et al. (1998) e Scarano (2002).”
Mountain biodiversity in Brazil (2007, background): “…to genera that typically display crassulacean acid metabolism (Scarano et al. 2001); and (3) some of the species first establish on rocks and subsequently create the necessary substrate for other species to establish, including those originated from the surrounding rain forest (Scarano 2002).”
Role of nurse plants in Araucaria Forest expansion over grassland in south Brazil (2006, background): “ Scarano (2002) reviewed the role of nurse plants in facilitating plant establishment in ecosystems under extreme environmental condition, such as open restingas and high altitude rock outcrops.”
Angiospermas em remanescentes de floresta montana no sul da Bahia, Brasil (2009, background): “…a vegetação da Mata Atlântica seja em sua maior parte caracterizada por florestas ombrófilas (Galindo-Leal et al. 2003), diversos autores reconhecem uma heterogeneidade tanto florística como fisionômica ao longo da área total (Oliveira-Filho & Fontes 2000, Scarano 2002, Oliveira-Filho et al. 2006).”
Plant communities on ironstone outcrops: a diverse and endangered Brazilian ecosystem (2007, background): “…only true dicotyledonous tree (Lüttge 2004), with 12 species reported to exhibit CAM (Sayed 2001), is an important nurse plant in stressful sandy habitats at the periphery of the Atlantic rainforest complex (Scarano 2002), and also plays this role in ironstone outcrops, together with bromeliads.”
