Abstract

Floristic surveys are the main source of information about species composition of different vegetation types
and a fundamental input of information for biogeographical studies. Within the Caatinga Domain, there are
many vegetation types, of which the most conspicuous is the deciduous caatinga s.s. vegetation. However,
along the watercourses of this region, one can find a type of riparian forest called Carnaubais, characterized by
a larger presence of evergreen species with access to underground water and a conspicuous occurrence of the
endemic “carnauba” palm (Copernicia prunifera). The present study aimed at making a floristic survey on a
Carnaubal riverine habitat and a nearby caatinga s.s. site in Ceará, and perform a biogeographical comparison
with other sites within the Caatinga Domain. In our study site, we identified 186 species, distributed in 135
genera and 52 families. Of the 186 species recorded, we found 123 species uniquely in the caatinga s.s. 
phytophysiognomy, 40 uniquely in Carnaubal and 23 in both phytophysiognomies. The most representative
families were Fabaceae (31 spp.), Poaceae (15 spp.), and Euphorbiaceae (13 spp.). The UPGMA and NMDS
analyses supported the idea that the Carnaubal is a habitat with distinct flora within the Caatinga Domain.

Key words: dry forest, carnaubal, riparian forest, caatinga, semiarid, vegetation.





Resumo

Os levantamentos florísticos são a principal fonte de informação sobre a composição das espécies de diferentes
fitofisionomias e um fator fundamental para estudos biogeográficos. Dentro do Domínio da Caatinga, existem
muitos tipos de vegetação, dos quais o mais evidente é a vegetação decídua de caatinga s.s. No entanto, ao
longo dos cursos d'água dessa região, pode-se encontrar um tipo de vegetação ripária denominada Carnaubais,
caracterizada pela maior presença de espécies perenes com acesso a águas subterrâneas e pela ocorrência
evidente da endêmica carnaúba (Copernicia prunifera). O presente estudo teve como objetivo fazer um
levantamento florístico em um habitat ribeirinho de Carnaubal e uma caatinga s.s. no Estado do Ceará, e
realizar uma comparação biogeográfica com outros estudos realizados dentro do Domínio Caatinga. Em nosso
local de estudo, identificamos 186 espécies, distribuídas em 135 gêneros e 52 famílias. Das 186 espécies
registradas, 123 foram encontradas somente na fitofisionomia de Caatinga s.s., 40 somente em Carnaubal e
23 em ambas as fitofisionomias. As famílias mais representativas foram Fabaceae (31 spp.), Poaceae (15 spp.)
e Euphorbiaceae (13 spp.). As análises do UPGMA e do NMDS corroboraram a ideia de que o Carnaubal é
um habitat com flora distinta dentro do Domínio da Caatinga.
