Abandoned pastures cannot spontaneously recover the attributes of old-growth savannas
(2018-05-01)
Active restoration strategies have been recommended to recover Neotropical savannas in abandoned lands, but no studies have investigated the trajectories and speeds of spontaneous recovery for these systems. Research into ...
The recovery rates of secondary savannas in abandoned pastures are poorly explained by environmental and landscape factors
(2020-01-01)
Question: Assessing the natural regeneration potential of degraded savannas is a crucial step in restoration planning, since that assessment will define the need for and costs of active intervention. Predicting natural ...
Changes in irradiance and soil properties explain why typical non-arboreal savanna species disappear under tree encroachment
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-01-01)
Savanna vegetation maintains its openness and its diverse plant composition because of frequent fire events; however, when these are suppressed, encroachment is caused by increases in the tree density. In the neotropical ...
Photosynthetic responses of understory savanna plants: Implications for plant persistence in savannas under tree encroachment
(2018-03-01)
Savannas are ecosystems where plants are expected to have leaf-level adaptations conferring tolerance to high irradiances, which characterizes this type of open canopy vegetation. The neotropical savannas of Brazil (Cerrado) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Woody plant encroachment constrains regeneration of ground-layer species in a neotropical savanna from seeds
(2022-01-01)
Woody plants have been encroaching into savannas on a global scale. Global climatic changes, along with changes to disturbance regimes, are considered to be the main drivers of this process. Particularly, many formerly ...
Spatial Patterns Of Two Co-occurring Savanna And Forest Tree Species In A Dense Fire-protected Savanna Fragment
(Soc Botanica BrasilSão Paulo, 2016)
Floristics of a seasonal semideciduous forest from a forest-savanna ecotone in Bauru Municipality, São Paulo state, BrazilFlorística de uma floresta estacional semidecidual, localizada em ecótono savânico-florestal, no Município de Bauru, SP, Brasil
(2008-01-01)
Scarce floristic information for Bauru Municipality and the formulation of hypotheses on occupation mechanisms of forest communities by savanna species represent the main questions that motivated this study. The research ...
Congeneric savanna-forest species have similar reproductive phenologies
(2022-01-01)
The time for flowering and fruiting in plants is mainly influenced by environmental factors. Plant species that are subject to different environmental conditions, but phylogenetically close, such as forest and savanna ...
