Little is known about the role of guano from quartzite caves in forming biodiverse plant communities in the surrounding areas due to direct or indirect nutrient and energy inputs. This study investigates four caves in the Quartzite Endokarst of Ibitipoca State Park (PEI), Brazil, by analyzing surface soils from the cave interior to surrounding fore...
Understanding the role of soil as a determinant for the selection and establishment of plant species is important, especially in ecotones. Our objective was to explore the composition and structure of various plant communities and their correlation with soil characteristics across the geoenvironmental gradient of Serra da Tenda in Montes Claros, Mi...
In South America, one of the least addressed regions in paleoecological studies is the Brazilian Semiarid region, composed of vegetation from different biomes and
currently marked by an arid climate. Although environmental conditions do not favor the formation of palynological sites, previous studies have indicated an expansion of savanna vegetatio...
Although there is a large difference in substrate and climate, all Campos Rupestres share common characteristics, which allow them to be grouped as a Rupestrian Grasslands Complex (RGC): shallow and extremely oligotrophic soils, high incidence of solar radiation, geographic isolation, large daily temperature range, water deficit, wind exposure and...
The Guayana Highlands (GH) represents a major center of Neotropical plant diversity and endemism. Considering the lack of information about the ecology of plant communities in this region, we analyzed the fine-scale pattern of vegetation diversity. Thus, we tested the fine-scale effects of abiotic filters (i.e. soil physicochemical properties and d...
OCBIL theory aims to develop hypotheses that explain the evolutionary ecology of biota on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs). The table mountain OCBILs of the Guayana Highlands are a major centre of Neotropical plant diversity; however, knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of plant community assembly at the mountaintops...

Unidades de conservação representam a principal estratégia para a preservação e recuperação de recursos naturais brasileiros. Para nortear o seu planejamento e gestão, informações relativas aos geoambientes constituem um referencial integrado indispensável. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os aspectos pedológicos associados à identificação, ca...

The Rupestrian Grassland is a vegetational complex with grassy to shrubby formations that occur throughout the high mountains of Brazil, usually formed by structurally resistant rocks, little affected by late tectonics, and strongly eroded and weathered under long term geological
stability. RGC is closely associated with high altitude landsurfaces,...
Rupestrian Grassland (RG) is a peculiar type of vegetation characterized by a combination of shrubs, herbs, grasses and geophytes, growing on nutrient-poor rocky outcrops on the highest parts of the Mountain Landscape in Brazil. A broad review of existing soil data from RG revealed a trend of very poor nutrient status, shallow profiles, acidity and...
In Brazil, the campos rupestres occur over the Brazilian shield, and are characterized by acidic nutrient‐impoverished soils, which are particularly low in phosphorus (P). Despite recognition of the campos rupestres as a global biodiversity hotspot, little is known about the diversity of P‐acquisition strategies and other aspects of plant mineral n...
A matter of great interest in studies of herbivory is how certain plant traits are affected by attack rates of phytophagous insects. The stress hypothesis proposes that plants under stressful conditions are more susceptible to herbivore attack, on the other hand, the vigor hypothesis suggests that fast-growing plants are preferred by herbivores. Th...
