Acta Botanica Brasilica (e 20240187) 39: 1-15, DOI: 10.1590/1677-941X-ABB-2024-0187, URL: doi.org/10.1590/1677-941x-abb-2024-0187 ABSTRACT Lagoa dos Patos, the largest lagoon in South America, lies on the coastal plain of Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil.

This region forms a transition area between the tropical and subtropical zones of South America. Rio Grande do Sul coastal plain extends over 600 km and is affected by climate changes and sea level oscillations. Lagoa dos Patos is limited to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and to the west by terrain containing granitic and metamorphic rocks.
