Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

The Núcleo Santa Virgínia is one of the administrative centers of the extensive Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar that was created in order to protect the rich São Paulo State Atlantic Forest biodiversity. This phytogeographical domain is the richest in bryophyte species and endemic species of the country. Altogether, we found 386 bryophyte species (196 liverworts, 188 mosses, and two hornworts); 32 (8%) are Brazilian endemic species; 24 new records are registered for São Paulo State and four new records for Atlantic Forest (Cheilolejeunea beyrichii (Lindenb.) Reiner, Microlejeunea acutifolia Steph, Lepidopilum pallidonitens (Müll. Hal.) Paris, and Bryum leptocladon Sull). The liverwort family Lejeuneaceae was the richest with 90 species found in the area, while Pilotrichaceae showed greater richness for mosses, with 20 species. Most species reveal a moderate distribution for the country and are neotropical.
