Tropical open ecosystems have been historically misunderstood as old-fields or as a result of forest degradation. This confusion has hindered conservation and management actions, frequently leading to suppression of native vegetation in favor of productive systems or afforestation. In Brazil, there is currently no scientific literature or even protocols to guide stakeholders and scientist…
Fire and frost are important drivers of structure and composition of grasslands and savannas around the world. However, little is known about how plant communities respond to these natural disturbances. This knowledge gap has direct implications for both conservation and restoration of Cerrado vegetation. In this context, this project aims to elucidate the response of plant communities to…
The cerrado grasslands have had their areas of occurrence reduced by several factors, including the conversion to agricultural production, biological invasions and even natural encroachment due to fire suppression. Actions to ensure the conservation of the diversity that has been lost should comprise ceasing land conversion, and development of management practices and restoration techniqu…
The restoration of forest ecosystems in Brazil has been successful with techniques that are based on the planting of tree seedlings. However, these techniques have not been successful in the Cerrado, so the search for innovative techniques of restoration is necessary, especially for grassland physiognomies. Studies in different parts of the world point out the implementation of topsoil an…
Fire in Tropical Grassy Biomes acts as both an ultimate and a proximate factor influencing plant communities. Understanding the role of fire in the evolution and persistence of species is, therefore, crucial to conserve these ecosystems in the environmental scenarios posed by climate change. Phylogenetic approaches have been explored in the last decade as a promising tool to address these…
The Cerrado is in a critical state of degradation and there are no literature specific techniques of ecological restoration to their physiognomies, especially for grassland sites. The existing procedures are based on forest formations, not applying the Cerrado, making it necessary to develop restoration techniques for this vegetation. In order to improve the technique used in the project …
