—We investigated the relationships of vegetation communities to environmental variables and compared the relative contribution of native and introduced species in extant forest communities on St. John, US Virgin Islands, using an island-wide forest vegetation inventory and monitoring network of permanent plots. We detected 2,415 individuals of 203 species, 5 percent of which were introduced. Cl...

Correspondence analysis was applied to sand fly sampling in 865 stations from the Western Mediterranean basin. The position of each of 24 species was determined with respect to the bioclimatic belts. Thus, the multidimensional analyses manifest clear correlations between bioclimatic belts and their expression in the area, the phytosociological groupings, and vector species of visceral and cutan...

Abstract Capitinga is poorly studied vegetation growing on small, scattered islands of fine, white sand surrounded by the latosol forests eastern flank Chapada Diamantina Mountains in northeastern Brazil. Our study characterized capitinga vegetation, its environmental features, and compared flora with mosaic within Espinhaço ranges. Floristic data was collected from 1999-2006, phytosociological...

Transitional forest ecosystems in the south of state Roraima show great heterogeneity tree species and represent different volumes timber stock projects vegetation suppression requiring Deforestation Licences (DL). The aim this study was to evaluate phytosociology standing volume Submontane Dense Ombrophilous Forest (Ds) transitional Campinarana/Ombrophilous (LOt1 LOt2) district Rorainópolis, R...
