Objective:  To evaluate the plant community composition and structure and their relationship with altitude and soil properties along an altitudinal gradient of three granitic rocky outcrops at the Serra do Brigadeiro State Park, Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil.  Methods:  In each selected site, 100 plots of 1 × 1 m were established, totalizing 300 plots in the study area. We compared floristic composition, relative coverage and abundance among sites. We performed beta diversity analysis. We also performed an indicator species analysis and a canonical correlation analysis to investigate possible relations between abiotic (soil and altitude) and biotic (indicator species abundances) variables.  Results:  We sampled a total of 9 276 individuals belonging to 39 families and 102 species. Significant differences were observed among sites regarding composition, abundance and coverage. The indicator species analysis revealed that 57 species (55.88 %) were indicators. The distribution of indicator species abundances was correlated with environmental variables.  Conclusions: It was observed that altitude and soil play an important role in controlling community composition and structure, beta diversity and species distribution in the highland grasslands studied.]]></p></abstract>

Objetivo:  Evaluar el patrón de composición de especies y estructura de comunidades vegetales y su relación con la altitud y las propiedades del suelo a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal de tres afloramientos de roca granítica, en el Parque Estatal Serra do Brigadeiro, Minas Gerais, en el sureste de Brasil.  Métodos:  En cada sitio seleccionado, se establecieron 100 parcelas de 1 × 1 m, totalizando 300 parcelas en el área de estudio. Comparamos la composición florística, la cobertura relativa y la abundancia entre sitios. Se realizó un análisis de diversidad beta. También se realizaron un análisis de especies indicadoras y un análisis de correlación canónica para investigar las posibles relaciones entre variables abióticas (suelo y altitud) y bióticas (abundancias de especies indicadoras).  Resultados:  Muestreamos un total de 9 276 individuos pertenecientes a 39 familias y 102 especies. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre los sitios con respecto a la composición, la abundancia y la cobertura. El análisis de especies indicadoras reveló que 57 especies (55.88 %) eran indicadoras. La distribución de las abundancias de las especies indicadoras se correlacionó con variables ambientales.  Conclusiones:  Se pudo observar que la altitud y el suelo cumplen un papel importante en el control de la composición y la estructura de la comunidad, la diversidad beta y la distribución de especies en los pastizales de tierras altas estudiados.]]></p></abstract>
