Name: Brazilian Atlantic Humid Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Lowland evergreen rainforests of the Brazilian Atlantic coastal plain and low slopes of the coastal ridge up to 200 m elevation. They are distributed in a belt from 6°S to almost 30°S latitude, and are currently very fragmented. They are tall, multi-layered forests, with a dense shrubby undergrowth. Lianas and vascular epiphytes are highly abundant and diverse, as well as the herbaceous layer, with numerous members of the Marantaceae and Strelitziaceae. Along this large latitudinal gradient, several centers of endemism developed with both plant and animal species with very restricted distributions. Overall, dominant families of the canopy layer are Fabaceae, Bignoniaceae, Meliaceae and Sapotaceae.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40850-{AAC46D9D-E381-4804-B3FE-2052030443F2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
