Phanerogamas Laboratory

 

Location: 1st Floor of Block D
Responsible: Prof. Dr. Caroline Oliveira Andrino


The Phanerogamas Laboratory hosts studies of higher plants with an emphasis on the Cerrado biome. It is used by university professors, scientific initiation students, master's and doctoral students who carry out research there on Brazilian flora and cultivated plants.

The ongoing projects include: 1) studies of floristic diversity of different functional groups in Chapada dos Veadeiros and southeast of Goiás; 2) phytosociology studies, with an emphasis on the ground layer of veredas, clean fields, dirty fields and humid fields in the Cerrado biome; 3) floristic and/or taxonomic studies of Chrysobalanaceae, Clusiaceae, Cyperaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Gramineae, Leguminosae, Loranthaceae, Oxalidaceae, Palmae, Piperaceae and Myrtaceae; 4) interactive botanical keys for families and zoochoric fruits from the Cerrado biome using the Lucid program; 5) history and popularization of botany; 6) Ethnobotany; 7) Conservation of rare and/or threatened species in the Cerrado biome; 8) Phenology and impacts of climate change in the Cerrado biome. Scientific initiation students are scholarship holders from ProIC/UnB, as well as from the Protax and Reflora projects, and other projects supported by CNPq and FAPDF. Postgraduate students are scholarship holders from CAPES and CNPq, or individual projects from supervisors at Protax, PNADB, and others.
