Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve, Biological reserve in Quebrangulo and Lagoa do Ouro, Brazil.

The reserve spans 4,382 hectares of Atlantic Forest biome with undulating hills reaching 860 meters at Lajeado dos Bois, the highest point in Alagoas.

Created on December 13, 1989, the reserve replaced Pedra Talhada State Park to protect Atlantic Forest ecosystems in the Serras of Guaribas and Serra do Cavaleiro.

The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages this federal reserve, conducting research on local species and ecological preservation methods.

The reserve maintains a tropical climate with temperatures around 25°C and annual rainfall between 1,250 to 1,500 millimeters throughout the year.

Scientists discovered new species of myxomycetes in the reserve, including Perichaena longipes and Macbrideola spinosispora, previously unknown in Brazil.
