Abstract :
This work presents a spatial distribution analysis of Brazilian Atlantic Forest Bromeliad species catalogued by the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens Research Institute. Our analysis aims at identifying probable endangered species and conservation areas (environmental reservations) for specific Bromeliad species. For that, we propose a solution using Data Mining techniques and the data visualization through the TerraView tool. Thus, it was possible to define where are typical species, allowing more effective field tours.
