Abstract

The district of Santa Maria is located in the northern region of theCentral Depression of Rio Grande do Sul and its vegetation is characterized by floras of phytoecological regions such as Savanna and Seasonal Forest.The Campus of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) has a totalarea of 1906.57 hectares, including the Botanical Garden (JB-UFSM), whichhas an area of approximately 14.5 hectares and it is located between thecoordinates 29°43’22'’S and 53°43’47'’W. Its vegetation has changed andbecame quite different from the characteristic vegetation of the Santa Mariaregion, mainly as a result of farming and the introduction of plant species.This work aimed to perform a floristic study of the herbaceous componentof the UFSM Botanical Garden, providing data for help in the cultivation,in the species conservation and the recovery of the area. Specimens werecollected seasonally, from March 2006 to March 2007, carried out duringwalks along the study area. The species were collected during the fertilestage and taken to the laboratory of Plant Taxonomy for identification andherborization and then deposited in the SMDB Herbarium. A total of 201species in 128 genera and 34 families were identified, with Poaceae,Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Cyperaceae being the most representative families.The data obtained with the identification of the material was used to drawup a list of all species, as well as an analytical key to the families.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
