Name: Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Plain Swamp Forest Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Forests periodically flooded due to their location along rivers that flow from central and southern Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean and also those of the swales of the extensive dune and beach-ridge systems (restingas) along the Brazilian coast. They are short forests with an irregular canopy whose distribution is interrupted due to depressions where the water level is higher and aquatic vegetation develops. These woods vary in their composition depending on the topography and the saturation levels of the soils. Diagnostic species are <i>Tabebuia cassinoides, Cecropia lyratiloba, Bactris setosa, Symphonia globulifera, Calophyllum antillanum (= Calophyllum brasiliense), Geonoma schottiana, Rheedia brasiliensis, Aechmea pineliana, Acrostichum danaeifolium</i>, and <i>Blechnum serrulatum</i>.
