Name:
Brazilian Atlantic Seasonal Dry Forest Macrogroup
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
Seasonal semi-deciduous forests of the eastern Brazilian shield, fringing the Atlantic evergreen and semi-evergreen forests in transition to the Cerrado and the Caatinga to the west, and also occupying favorable sites within the Agreste and the Caatinga. Those to the west of the Caatinga usually are on nutrient-rich soils derived from limestones. Among the common species are <i>Apeiba tibourbou, Basiloxylon brasiliense, Luehea divaricata, Molopanthera paniculata, Phyllanthus acuminatus, Cnidoscolus urens, Hymenaea courbaril, Chorisia speciosa, Cereus calcirupicola, Allophylus sericeus, Aloysia virgata, Cavanillesia arborea, Cedrela fissilis, Schinopsis brasiliensis, Astronium urundeuva, Aspidosperma macrocarpon</i>. The forests transitional to the Cerrado in the states of Parana and Sao Paulo tend to be associated with poor sandy soils, and their composition is different, with more affinities with the Cerrado flora, i.e., <i>Acosmium dasycarpum, Acrocomia totai, Agonandra brasiliensis, Alibertia concolor, Alibertia macrophylla, Anadenanthera peregrina, Astronium fraxinifolium, Callisthene major, Dalbergia miscolobium, Diospyros hispida, Gomidesia lindeniana, Guatteria sellowiana, Luehea paniculata, Machaerium acutifolium, Margaritaria nobilis, Miconia</i> spp.
