As áreas de reserva legal (ARLs) são parte fundamental da estratégia
brasileira de conservação, juntamente com as áreas de preservação permanente.
As ARLs são destinadas à manutenção da biodiversidade e podem ser manejadas
de forma sustentável. Quando essas áreas abrigam ecossistemas dependentes
de fogo e pastejo, como os campos nativos e as savana...
Abstract-Legal reserve areas (LRAs) are a fundamental part of the Brazilian conservation strategy, together with permanent preservation areas. The LRAs are intended to maintain biodiversity and can be managed sustainably. When these areas are home to ecosystems that depend on fire and grazing, such as native grasslands and savannas, management prac...
The Cerrado is a Neotropical savanna with the highest plant species richness among tropical savannas. Most of these species are herbs and subshrubs, although woody species have been studied much more extensively. We built a database of species constituting the herbaceous–subshrub flora of the Cerrado to provide an in-depth view of its conservation...
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals co...
Este capítulo, parte do livro em comemoração aos 60 anos do Herbário UB (editado por Oliveira & Andrino), faz traz uma breve biografia da vida do professor George Eiten. Fitogeógrafo e taxonomista americano que se radicou no Brasil no início dos anos 1960, Eiten produziu trabalhos densos para o conhecimento vegetacional e ecológico do Cerrado. A co...
As savanas da América do Sul representam entre 8 e 10% da cobertura das savanas globais. De forma dispersa, elas cobrem pouco mais de 2,29 milhões de quilômetros quadrados no continente, e representam o espectro mais úmido e mais biodiverso das savanas globais. As savanas sul-americanas apresentam considerável grau de endemismo e suas característic...
Understanding the resilience of ecosystems to different land uses is critical to elucidate the mechanisms underlying regeneration processes and plan more sustainable land-use systems. While these relationships are well understood in continuous tropical forests, they are still poorly comprehended in forest formations embedded in a savanna matrix, ev...
Wetlands are ecosystems at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments, subject to flooding by shallow waters or with temporarily to permanently waterlogged soils and specialized biota. Despite their great importance at global and local scales, these ecosystems have not been effectively protected in Brazil. The Cerrado wetlands are p...

Esse trabalho teve a finalidade de cumprir metas delineadas...
The urge to organise the world around us is an essential part of human nature. Naming and categorising enable us to store and access information ef ciently. The need to name and categorise extends to the natural world and, in particular, to living organisms. The science underpinning this area of knowledge is called Taxonomy, and is as old as humani...

Less than half of the original two million square kilometers of the Cerrado vegetation remains standing, and there are still many uncertainties as to how to conserve and prioritize remaining areas effectively. A key limitation is the continuing lack of geographically-extensive evaluation of ecosystem-level properties across the biome. Here we sough...
In acid soils, aluminum (Al) is found in the form of cations, which
are toxic to the vast majority of plants. Al impairs root development making
plants more susceptible to drought and diseases. In these soils, liming is
indispensable for crop cultivation. The Cerrado plant species tolerate high Al
concentrations and, thus, are sources of biomolecul...

Savannas represent the second largest vegetation type in South America, after tropical forests. South American savannas are mesic, and present the highest species diversity among world savannas. They can be represented by patches as small as 50 km2, as well by areas of thousands of km2, such as those occurring in the Cerrado. They range in altitude...
Defining the reference system for restoration projects in regions characterized by complex vegetation mosaics is challenging. Misidentification of anthropogenically‐degraded grasslands or savannas as natural vegetation can lead to inappropriate restoration efforts and legislation. Here we use the Cerrado region of Brazil as an example of the import...

Aims: The herb–shrub flora has been widely neglected in science and conservation policy throughout the world, so that this biodiversity component remains largely unknown. The objective of this study was to elucidate the spatial patterns of species richness and phytogeographic regions of the Cerrado herb–shrub flora, and to estimate the percentage o...

Topsoil translocation has been used for vegetation restoration throughout the world, but it has been poorly tested within savannas. This study describes Brazilian savanna (cerrado) regeneration for the first 3 years following topsoil translocation. The topsoil was stripped from 2.5 ha of savanna and spread on 1 ha of an abandoned laterite quarry in...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the composition and structure of the woody community in the Cerrado stricto sensu fragments, located in Carolina County, in the State of Maranhão. The survey was carried out with ten parcels of 20x50 m (1000m 2 ). All individuals showing diameters 5cm at 30cm above ground level were recorded. A total of 54...
Processes driving the assembly of swamp forest communities have been poorly explored. We analyzed natural regeneration and adult tree communities data of a swamp gallery forest in Central Brazil to discuss the role of ecological filters in shaping plant species turnover in a successional gradient. Species data of 120 plots were used to assess speci...
