Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Plant relocation resulting from vegetation removal is an important conservation strategy. This work aimed to investigate the simultaneous relocation of the bromeliads Aechmea distichantha Lem. and Wittrockia cyathiformis (Vell.) Leme in epiphytic and terricolous form. These bromeliads were rescued from deforested areas due to the construction of a highway. Both were fixed onto tree trunks or pitchforks or in the soil in a Montane Dense Ombrophilous Forest area of Parque da Estadual Cantareira, São Paulo State, Brazil. After one year A. distichantha maintained 100% survival rate, when transplanted in terricolous and 83.33 % in epiphytic form, while W. cyathiformis was 60% for both relocation forms. We concluded that both bromeliad species could be simultaneously relocated as epiphytes or terricolous. Direct relocation to the ground guarantees practicality, as it is difficult to find trees with forks located at small heights from the ground in which the manual fixing of the plant could be done without equipment.
RESUMO
A realocação de plantas resultante da remoção da vegetação é uma importante estratégia de conservação. Este trabalho objetivou investigar a realocação simultânea das bromélias Aechmea distichantha Lem. e Wittrockia cyathiformis (Vell.) Leme na forma epífita e terrícola, resgatadas de áreas desmatadas devido à construção de uma rodovia. Ambas foram fixadas em troncos de árvores ou forquilhas ou transplantadas para o solo em uma área de Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana do Parque Estadual da Cantareira, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Após um ano, A. distichantha manteve 100% de sobrevida, quando transplantada na forma terrícola e 83,33% na forma epífita, enquanto W. cyathiformis foi de 60% para ambas as formas de realocação. Concluímos que ambas as espécies de bromélias podem ser realocadas simultaneamente como epífitas ou terrícolas. A realocação direta ao solo garante praticidade, pois é difícil encontrar árvores com forquilhas localizadas a pequenas alturas do solo em que a fixação manual da planta possa ser feita sem equipamentos.
