Figures for additional documents should be 300dpi. The minimum number of pages will be 15 for Articles, 20 for Literature Review and 8 for Scientific Note, including tables, graphs and illustrations. A minimum number of pages different from the quantities recommended by the journal will be accepted only upon prior consultation with the Chief Editor. Papers, Literature Reviews, Scientific Notes should be started with the title of the paper and, below, the full names of the authors, with their position, authors' place of work and electronic address. The scholarship status may be included. As a footer note for the title, one must use index number that can indicate if it was work extracted from thesis, or presented in congress and financing entities of the project. The article must contain, necessarily, the following topics: Title; Abstract; Keywords, Introduction with literature review and objectives; Material and methods; Results, Discussion; Conclusion, Acknowledgments and References. The Results and Discussion chapters may be inserted together or separately in the article.

Acknowledgments should always appear before References. All of these topics should be written with only the first capital letter, font Times New Roman, size 11 and bold, with the exception of the TITLE that should be in size 12 and only with the first letter of the main words in capital letters, for example: “Structure of the Woody Component of the Restinga on the South Coast of Alagoas, Northeastern Brazil”, with the exception of the scientific names and authors of the species.

The LITERATURE REVIEW should contain the following topics: Title; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Development; Conclusion; Acknowledgments and References. Acknowledgments should appear before References.

The SCIENTIFIC NOTE should contain the following topics: Title; Abstract; Keywords; Text (without subdivision), but with Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion (it may contain Tables or Figures), Conclusion, Acknowledgments and References Acknowledgments must appear before references. The name (s) of the autor (s) must be written in upper case, one after the other with subscript numbers that will indicate the Institutional affiliation and / or funding source of the work (scholarships, aids, etc.).

Funding credits should come in Acknowledgments, as well as linkages from the article to broader research programs, not in the footer. Authors must provide full addresses, avoiding abbreviations, choosing only one of them as Author for correspondence. If they wish, all authors may provide E-mail for correspondence.

SUMMARY and ABSTRACT should contain a maximum of 250 words, written in the following structured format: Motivation of the study (why was the work was carried out, what are the main issues to be investigated and why this is important for the RBGF public), Methods (explanatory text of the methods used to carry out the study), Results (main results obtained) and Conclusions (short statements that answer the objectives presented in the Introduction). They will be followed by the indication of the indexation terms, different from those in the title. The translation of the ABSTRACT into English will follow the limit of up to 250 words. At the end of the SUMMARY, cite up to five Keywords, at the author's choice, in order of importance, avoiding plural words and abbreviations.

Abstract and should NOT contain bibliographic citations.

Introduction - should be brief when exposing, avoiding abbreviations, formulas and names of authors of plant / animal species:

a) current knowledge in the specific field of the subject matter;

b) scientific problems that led the author (s) to develop the work, clarifying the type of problem addressed or the working hypothesis (s), citing the specific bibliography and ending with the indication of the objective.

Introduction should NOT contain pictures, graphics or pictures.

Material and Methods - necessary and sufficient information must be gathered to allow the repetition of the work by other researchers; already published techniques should only be cited and not described. Any comment of a procedure used for the analysis of data in Results must, necessarily, be described in the item Material and Methods.

Results - should contain a concise presentation of the data obtained. Figures should be numbered in sequence, with Arabic numerals, placed on the lower right side; the scales, where possible, should be to the left of the Figure and / or Frame. Tables should be sequentially numbered in Arabic and numbered independently of the Figures. Both the figures and the tables should be inserted in the text, as close as possible to your first quotation.

Table items, which are abbreviated, should have their explanations in the legend. Figures and Tables should be referred to in the text in upper and lower box (Figure and Table). All Figures and Tables presented must be called in the text and submitted as additional documents separately. Acronyms and abbreviations, when used for the first time, should be preceded by their full meaning. Ex .: Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE); Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).

Use units of measure in abbreviated form (eg, 11 cm, 2.4 μm), and with the separate unit number, except for percentage (eg 90%). The numbers one through ten should be written in full (not the largest), unless it is measured. Eg four trees; 6.0 mm; 1.0 4.0 mm; 125 samples. The scientific name of species must always be in italics, followed by the author's name.

The titles of the Figures, Graphs and / or Tables should be self-explanatory and follow the example: Figure 1. Location, drainage and boundary of the catchment area of Rio Capiá. Subdivisions within Material and Methods or Results and / or Discussion should be written in upper and lower case, followed by a dash and the text follows the same line. Example: Area of Study - locates ...

Discussion - should contain the results analyzed, taking into account the literature, but without introducing new data.

Conclusions - should be based only on data presented in the paper and should be numbered.

Acknowledgments - Required item in the article. They should be succinct and do not appear in the text or in footnotes.

References - Follow the instructions below.
