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 ...
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. ...
Correlates of geoxyle diversity in Afrotropical grasslands
(2022-02-01)
Aim: Tropical old-growth grasslands are increasingly acknowledged as biodiverse ecosystems, but they are understudied in many aspects. Geoxyle species are a key component in many of these ecosystems, their belowground ...
Restoring Brazilian savanna ground layer vegetation by topsoil and hay transfer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-01-01)
Tropical grassy biomes have been widely neglected for conservation and, after unplanned land use conversion, ecological restoration becomes urgent. The majority of interventions have been based on the misapplication of ...
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 ...
Myth-busting tropical grassy biome restoration
(2020-01-01)
The historical focus in research and policy on forest restoration and temperate ecosystems has created misunderstandings for the restoration of tropical and subtropical old-growth grassy biomes (TGB). Such misconceptions ...
Seed longevity and fire: post-germination responses of Rumex acetosella L. in northwest Patagonian grasslands (Argentina)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-05)
The cosmopolitan herb Rumex acetosella forms persistent soil seed banks and increases in cover after fire. We investigated how the interaction between seed age and fire affects seedling growth by exposing different-aged ...
Mulch amendment facilitates early revegetation development on an abandoned field In northern mixed grass prairies of North America
(Elsevier Science, 2016-12)
Extensive areas of the northern mixed grass prairies of North America require restoration and reclamation as they have been extensively disturbed by agricultural, mining and oil and gas related activities. Amending seedbeds ...
Estoque de carbono em plantações de Eucalyptus sp. implantados em campo nativo
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBRRecursos Florestais e Engenharia FlorestalUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Florestal, 2009-03-03)
The soil management with emphasis in keeping soil residues on surface combined with vegetation growth may reduce carbon (C) emission to the atmosphere. The objective of this study is to measure the effects of the Eucaliptus ...
Early competition between the exotic herb Rumex acetosella and two native tussock grasses with different palatability and water stress tolerance
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
Semiarid grasslands in NW Patagonia (Argentina) are dominated by Festuca pallescens and Pappostipa speciosa, two native tussock grasses that differ in water stress tolerance and in palatability to livestock. Both species ...
