Spatial Patterns Of Two Co-occurring Savanna And Forest Tree Species In A Dense Fire-protected Savanna Fragment
(Soc Botanica BrasilSão Paulo, 2016)
Tree encroachment into savannas alters soil microbiological and chemical properties facilitating forest expansion
(2016-10-01)
Forests have been expanding over typical savanna sites for the past 3000 years in the Neotropics. Such invasion can produce a series of environmental modifications on typical savanna; however, it remains unclear how ...
Leaf traits combinations may explain the occurrence of savanna herbaceous species along a gradient of tree encroachment
(2017-09-01)
In savanna environments, plants have specific leaf traits to deal with high irradiance. These traits allow plants to show high carbon assimilation capacity. However, under encroachment, reduced light availability may act ...
Thresholds of fire response to moisture and fuel load differ between tropical savannas and grasslands across continents
(2020-02-01)
Aim: An emerging framework for tropical ecosystems states that fire activity is either “fuel build-up limited” or “fuel moisture limited”, that is, as you move up along rainfall gradients, the major control on fire occurrence ...
Cattle decrease plant species diversity in protected humid temperate savanna
(Gebruder Borntraeger, 2018-08-17)
Question: Is domestic cattle an appropriate surrogate for fire in a protected humid temperate savanna? Study area: El Palmar Grande de Colón (31°52' S, 58°17' W), Argentina. Methods: We surveyed dense Butia yatay palm ...
Disturbance Maintains Alternative Biome States
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2016)
Do litter manipulations affect leaf functional traits of savanna woody plants?
(Springer, 2014-01-01)
Plant litter is the layer composed of dead plant material that covers soil surfaces in terrestrial ecosystems. It is an important pool of essential nutrients for soil and plants, serving also as a protective layer on the ...
