Restinga ((:ʁesˈtʃĩɡɐ)) — a spit and a distinct type of coastal Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, found in eastern Brazil.〔(Restinga.net )〕 ''Restingas'' form on sandy, acidic, and nutrient-poor soils, and are characterized by medium-sized trees and shrubs adapted to the drier and nutrient-poor conditions.〔 One of the most notable restingas is the Restinga da Marambaia (in Rio de Janeiro), which is owned and kept by the Brazilian Army. ==Ecoregions== The World Wildlife Fund distinguishes two ''Restinga'' ecoregions. *Atlantic Coast restingas — found in several enclaves along Brazil's east coast from Rio Grande do Norte state in northeastern Brazil to Rio Grande do Sul state in southern Brazil, covering an area of that extends from the tropics to the subtropics. Its flora and fauna shares affinities with the humid Atlantic forest of eastern Brazil. *Northeastern Brazil restingas — found along the northern coast of Brazil, in Maranhão, Piauí, and Ceará states. Its flora and fauna are distinct from that of the Atlantic Coast ''restingas'', with greater affinities to the moist forests of Amazonia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Restinga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
