A synopsis of sloanea (Elaeocarpaceae) in the neotropical extra–amazonian region
(2016-07-01)
The genus Sloanea is comprised of 150 species, of which about 50 occur in Brazil among several vegetation types but mainly the Amazon and Atlantic forests. The present work provides a synopsis of the Neotropical species ...
Fire promotes functional plant diversity and modifies soil carbon dynamics in tropical savanna
(2022-03-15)
Fire is an evolutionary environmental filter in tropical savanna ecosystems altering functional diversity and associated C pools in the biosphere and fluxes between the atmosphere and biosphere. Therefore, alterations in ...
Secondary xylem of stem and root of cerrado woody plants: anatomical and functional approach
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2021-10-08)
The plant's ability to invest in the wood tissue in different organs is crucial to its survival in terrestrial environments. Wood is a complex system linked to water transport, mechanical support, and storage of essential ...
The effects of tree cover and soil nutrient addition on native herbaceous richness in a neotropical savanna
(2021-01-01)
Exotic grasses and high-nutrient availability are common factors that may limit recovery of herbaceous diversity in derived savannas, while tree encroachment is a threat to diversity in old-growth savannas. To understand ...
Exploitation of Fallen Diaspores by Ants: Are there Ant-Plant Partner Choices?
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2012)
The diversity of post-fire regeneration strategies in the cerrado ground layer
(2020-01-01)
Disentangling species strategies that confer resilience to natural disturbances is key to conserving and restoring savanna ecosystems. Fire is a recurrent disturbance in savannas, and savanna vegetation is highly adapted ...
The distinct roles of water table depth and soil properties in controlling alternative woodland-grassland states in the Cerrado
(2021-03-01)
Open grassy vegetation and forests share riparian zones across the Neotropical savannas, characterizing alternative stable states. However, factors determining the occurrence and maintenance of each vegetation type are yet ...
An evergreen neotropical savanna tree (Gochnatia polymorpha, Asteraceae) produces different dry- and wet-season leaf types
(CSIRO Publishing, 2009-01-01)
Gochnatia polymorpha (Less.) Cabrera is a widespread tree species found in different physiognomies of neotropical savanna (cerrado) formations of south-eastern Brazil. The present study describes some leaf anatomical ...
