Temperature and pH measurements carried out at different points of the Field Work Study

As we have already told you, the Cota 200 neighborhood is located in the largest Atlantic Forest reserve in the country. And, not surprisingly, it is the largest biodiversity on the planet, where it is possible to observe a large number of fauna and flora and also the largest number of living beings per square meter. But, do you know why all this diversity is right in the Atlantic Forest and not elsewhere?

Good ... During our middle study, we realize that all this diversity in the Atlantic Forest is due, due to the climate and its location near the Serra do Mar; 2200 meters in relation to sea level; Higher altitude.

The temperature, rainfall frequency, altitude, proximity to the ocean and soil composition determine the vegetation variations that define the different ecosystems that make up the Atlantic Forest.

Some of the ecosystems in the Atlantic Forest are beach, rocks and mangrove. However, from the moment we approach the Cota 200 neighborhood, we enter the forest ecosystem.

In this neighborhood, due to humidity, the outside temperature was lower compared to the starting point, Notre Dame. This happened because when we have forest conditions, we have higher humidity rates.

Below you will see our notes on altitude, humidity, temperature and pH index, made at various points in the Middle Study.
