Aspectos florísticos e síndromes de dispersão das espécies arbóreas do Morro de Santo Antão, Santa Maria-RS

The Santo Antão Hill located at Caturrita Village in the county of Santa Maria is an expressive tourist place in the region and also a rich forest in terms of botanic species from the lower montane Seasonal Deciduous Forests of the Serra Geral. Rio Grande do Sul. The objectives of the study were to get information about the floristic composition and seed dispersion syndromes of tree species. The floristic characterization of the Santo Antão hill forest was made with detailed taxonomic identification of the species found there. The seed dispersion was studied by field observations and bibliographical reviews using the categories and concepts proposed by Van Der Pl]l, Howe & Westley and Fisher & Chapman and used by NASCIMENTO & LONGHI (1996). There were 51 tree species classified in 47 genera and 28 families. indicating a relevant floristic diversity. Leguminosae. Myrtaceae. Sapindaceae and Moraceae were the most frequent families. Among the specles, Sorocea bomplandii (cincho). Cupania vernalis (camboatá- vermelho), Actinostemon concolor (Iaranjeira-do-mato), Schinus molle (aroeira-mansa), Nectandra megapotamica (canela-preta), were the most conspicuous. 69% of the studied species presented zoochoric dispersion, which is in agreement with severals authors that put this syndrome as one of the most important in the dissemination of tree species, as well as in the balance between the flora and fauna in the ecosystem.

Most of the present day flowers have come from the wild progenitors, a few of which still exist in natural habitat.Ornamental flowers are highly promising and unutilized resources having tremendous and prover economic importance.Ornamental plants accompany people, since their birth to death and they coexist with almost all happy events in life such birthday celebrations, weddings, carrier progress etc. In addition, they form our best partners in our everyday life in our flats, offices, different public spaces, parks, gardens and elsewhere.An extensive floristic survey was conducted during the year 2015. Taxonomic identification, photographic documentation and ornamental characterization of each species with potential for use on floral art were recorded. The methodology used is based on observation method for the determination of flora. All the specimens collected were identified with the help of recent literature.The field expeditions of study area gave interesting results concerning floristic diversity.

A study was carried out of the hydrogeochemical processes involving the groundwater of the western portion of the Santa Maria Aquifer System (SMAS) in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. The objective of this study was to characterize the behavior of a portion of the groundwater between São Pedro do Sul, Santa Maria and Restinga Seca municipalities, based on a model between water/rock interaction. Mineralogical and hydrochemical information were analyzed, aiming to model the hydrogeochemical evolution of the aquifer in these municipalities. For this purpose, a processing of the information in a geochemical modeling code was performed, using as previous reference mineralogical studies. The results pointed out the main geochemical interactions responsible for groundwater chemistry, which is strongly dependent of the chemical composition of the recharge waters and the mineralogical contribution of the sedimentary rocks of this aquifer system. The groundwater saturation states showed subsaturation processes tending to the balance of carbonate minerals, indicating the dissolution of these minerals, mainly calcite, as well as supersaturation of clay-minerals ilite, montmorillonite (smectite) and kaolinite, in both cases tending to the alkalinization of the environment. The characterization of the hydrogeochemical properties of aquifers is important for a correct understanding of the processes that occur in it and dominate the regional hydrogeology.

Abstract Studies that address the floristic composition of the Atlantic forest show that Myrtaceae is one of the richest families in number of tree species. In Southern Brazil, Myrtaceae is present mainly in forest formations, such as broadleaf rain forests and broadleaf cloud forests, mixed needle and broadleaf forests (Araucaria forests), and seasonal semi-deciduous forests. The objective of this study was to survey the Myrtaceae of the upper highlands of São Joaquim National Park, to contribute with the knowledge of its flora. Eight genera and 16 species of Myrtaceae were found: Acca sellowiana, Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Eugenia handroi, Myrceugenia (8 spp.): M. acutata, M. alpigena, M. euosma, M. miersiana, M. myrcioides, M. oxysepala, M. pilotantha, and M. regnelliana, Myrcia (2 spp.): M. aethusa and M. hartwegiana, Myrrhinium atropurpureum, Psidium salutare, and Siphoneugena reitzii. Descriptions, illustrations, an identification key and commentaries are presented. Other studies about Myrtaceae in highland areas of Southern Brazil present Myrceugenia as the richest genus in species, while other mentioned genera were not registered in SJNP upper highlands. The family’s richness patterns and diversity in a local and regional scale should be better investigated in the Atlantic Forest.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to characterize the floristic composition, vegetation structure and ecological group of tree species in a cerradão forest (Cerrado biome) of Palmas, Tocantins State, Brazil. A forest inventory was performed in an area of 10.15 hectares, using systematic sampling with plots of 400 m², in which all standing trees, alive and dead, that had diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 5 cm were sampled and identified. A linear plateau regression model (LPR) was used for sample sufficiency analysis. The Shannon index (H') was used for assess the floristic diversity, and the Importance Value Index (IVI) for assess the horizontal structure. The forest was classified in three strata according to vertical structure analysis. The LPR showed that the sampling size was adequate. The predominate species in the area were Myrcia splendens, Emmotum nitens and Qualea parviflora, and species from the families Fabaceae and Chrysobalanaceae. The pioneer (613 individuals ha-1) and climax (530 individuals ha-1) species were the predominating groups. Regarding the richness index, the number of climax (57 species) and pioneer (25 species) species stood out. The alpha floristic diversity was 3.35 nats individuals-1 and the Pielou equability value J = 0.76. The diametric distribution showed a negative and balanced exponential pattern. Regarding the vertical stratification, the smallest amount of individuals was in the upper stratum (13%) and the highest in the mid stratum (63%) and in the lower stratum (24%). The use of floristic composition tools with horizontal and vertical structure analysis was effective for understand the tree community, which may be considered structured and diverse, thus able to restructure possible disturbances when preserved.

Insuficiencia Cardiaca ◽

Calodium hepaticum já foi relatado parasitando o parênquima hepático de diversas espécies de mamíferos, porém é infrequente em cães. O presente artigo tem o objetivo de descrever dois casos de capilariose hepática em cães, diagnosticados em um período de um mês na região de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. O primeiro cão apresentava sintomatologia clínica de insuficiência cardíaca, e ovos de Calodium hepaticum foram encontrados ocasionalmente no exame histopatológico do fígado. O segundo animal apresentava mucosas ictéricas e ascite. No hemograma, ficou evidente a presença de anemia arregenerativa e, na avaliação de bioquímica sérica, percebeu-se aumento de fosfatase alcalina, alanina aminotransferase e hipoalbuminemia. A análise do liquido cavitário foi compatível com transudato modificado. No exame histopatológico, foram observados numerosos ovos bioperculados de Calodium hepaticum, dispostos aleatoriamente pelo parênquima hepático, com reação granulomatosa e fibrosa adjacente aos ovos. A existência de maior número de cães infectados demonstra a necessidade de controle da população de roedores.
