Grazing and neighborhood interactions limit woody encroachment in wet subtropical savannas
(2014-12)
Woody encroachment in savannas is a worldwide concern, and there is growing consensus that anthropogenic activities play a central role in changing tree – grass interactions. We evaluated the influence of livestock grazing ...
Grasslands and Open Savannas of the Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2020-06-26)
The Dry Chaco is mostly known as a forested ecosystem. However it includes natural grasslands, savannas, scrublands, and wetlands. With one of the highest global deforestation rates in the last two decades and only 12% of ...
Grasslands and Open Savannas of the Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2019)
The Dry Chaco is mostly known as a forested ecosystem. However it includes natural grasslands, savannas, scrublands, and wetlands. With one of the highest global deforestation rates in the last two decades and only 12% of ...
A research agenda for the restoration of tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas
(2021-04-01)
Despite growing recognition of the conservation value of grassy biomes, our understanding of how to restore biodiverse tropical and subtropical grassy biomes (grasslands and savannas; TGB) remains limited. Several tools ...
Post-burning germination responses of woody invaders in a fire-prone ecosystem
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11)
It has been frequently recognised that there is a positive feedback between plant invasion and fire underlying invasion success in fire-prone ecosystems. Accordingly, the response of woody alien species germination to fire ...
Estratégias nutricionais em espécies congenéricas de cerrado e floresta estacional semidecídua
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais - PPGCAmCâmpus São Carlos, 2019-09-05)
The Brazilian cerrado, although is one of the hotspots for the biology conservation, is still under
pressure. One of these is related to restoration practices. This hotspot presents a huge vegetative
diversity, however ...
Resilience and restoration of tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and grassy woodlands
(2019-04-01)
Despite growing recognition of the conservation values of grassy biomes, our understanding of how to maintain and restore biodiverse tropical grasslands (including savannas and open-canopy grassy woodlands) remains limited. ...
Short-Term dynamic of soil fertility from integrated crop-livestock systems in tropical savanna
(2017-05-01)
The chemical attributes and the total organic carbon stock of the soil, from crop-livestock integration systems for renovation of degraded pasture, with fodder sorghum, were evaluated in torpical Savanna. The experiment ...
Are tree plantations promoting homogenization of mammal assemblages between regions with contrasting environments?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
Aim: The expansion of agriculture is promoting the loss of natural environments and their biotic homogenization. We aimed at understanding whether the replacement of forests and grasslands by tree plantations leads to ...
The imprint of humans on landscape patterns and vegetation functioning in the dry subtropics
(Wiley, 2012-11-24)
Dry subtropical regions (DST), originally hosting woodlands and savannas, are subject to contrasting human pressures and land uses and different degrees of water limitation. We quantified how this variable context influences ...
