Abstract
The Atlantic forest extends from the north-east of Brazil, state of Rio Grande do Norte, and including inland forests (brejos) in the state of Ceará, south along eastern Brazil, through the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, into the northeastern tip of Argentina in the province of Misiones and between the Rios Paraná, Uruguai and Iguaçu. In contrast to the Amazon, the Atlantic forest (sensu strictu) is typically upland, stretching along the coastal mountain chain, known as the Serra do Mar in the south between the states of Santa Catarina and northern Rio de Janeiro where it is very close to the sea, and the Serra da Mantiqueira and eastern slopes of the Serra do Espinhaço inland. It comprises a complex of vegetation types, which could be referred to as the “Atlantic forest complex ”, and includes principally: 1) evergreen humid tropical forest, divided into a) cool, humid, montane forest (altitudes 800 to 1,500–1,700 m), and b) lower-montane forest (altitudes 300–800 m) with deeper soils, a marked dry season, and lower humidity (except in the valleys and near to the coast where they receive orographic rainfall); and 2) inland semideciduous or dry forests (Rizzini, 1979; Rizzini et al., 1988; Joly et al, 1991).
