CARACTERIZAÇÃO FITOGEOGRÁFICA DE GRUPOS BOTÂNICOS DA FLORESTA ESTACIONAL DECIDUAL DA SERRA DO CIPÓ

The aim of this paper is to review about the biology and geographical occurrence of botanical groups that occur in the vegetation of limestone outcrops of Serra do Cipo located in the southern portion of the Chain of Southern Espinhaco in Minas Gerais. Bibliographic information about the spatial distribution and biological families, genera and species found in a floristic survey in the region points were raised. The survey results show that most taxa occurring in the dry tropical forests are poorly surveyed by Brazilian environmental science. We conclude that review studies on the biology of these groups and especially studies that characterize the geographic distribution of plants is a demand for scientific research and much can assist in creating action plans for species conservation.
