Flammability thresholds or flammability gradients? Determinants of fire across savanna–forest transitions
(2020-01-01)
Vegetation–fire feedbacks are important for determining the distribution of forest and savanna. To understand how vegetation structure controls these feedbacks, we quantified flammability across gradients of tree density ...
Does Fire Trigger Seed Germination in the Neotropical Savannas? Experimental Tests with Six Cerrado Species
(2016-03-01)
The Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) is a biodiversity hotspot with a history of fire that goes back as far as 10 million years. Fire has influenced the evolution of several aspects of the vegetation, including reproduction and ...

Waterlogging as an environmental filter to tree recruitment in tropical wet grasslands
(2021-01-01)
Wet grasslands from the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) are open-canopy vegetation dominated by subshrubs and herbaceous plants. Although they frequently occur between gallery forests and savannas, tree species are rarely ...
Savannas after afforestation: Assessment of herbaceous community responses to wildfire versus native tree planting
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07-30)
Afforestation and fire exclusion are pervasive threats to tropical savannas. In Brazil, laws limiting prescribed burning hinder the study of fire in the restoration of Cerrado plant communities. We took advantage of a 2017 ...
