Atlantic Forest

A small txt from my article at National Geographic Brazil.

Today there are in #Brazil approximately 8% of the original vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. Once subjected to impact, vegetation cover never returns to its natural state. Removed the big trees, the sun hits the ground with more intensity, the light enables the development of other plants, they would not have chance in the shadows, thereby changing the vegetation characteristics. The dried wet substrate, killing # animals, fungi and bacteria responsible for degrading organic matter and nutrients interrupting the cycle. Carefully money and labor can restore a healthy vegetation, but never the same.

The atlatic forest is much more dense than the Amazon forest.
