Fire and Drought: Soluble Carbohydrate Storage and Survival Mechanisms in Herbaceous Plants from the Cerrado (2016, background): “Indeed, the ratio between woody and herbaceous species in the Cerrado ranges from 1:2 to 1:4.5 (Filgueiras 2002, Batalha and Martins 2007).”
Differences in growth patterns between co-occurring forest and savanna trees affect the forest-savanna boundary (2009, background): “Dry-season LFL should reduce leaf damage by herbivores, as the most vulnerable stage of development (the new leaf stage) has already passed by the time the herbivorous insect activity begins (Marquis et al. 2002).”
Nutritional adaptations of native plants of the cerrado biome in acid soils (2008, background): “…essential macronutrients in natural ecosystems and adaptations to water and nutrient stress have only been investigated during the last couple of decades in an attempt to understand the functioning of these ecosystems (Haridasan, 2001; Franco, 2002, 2005; Prado et al., 2004; Narodoto et al., 2006).”
The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region (2009, background): “…could occur in fire-adapted ecosystems, such as tropical woodlands and savannas, where fire suppression and biomass accumulation could lead to the local disappearance of plant and animal species that depend upon periodic burning (Moreira, 2000; Oliveira & Marquis, 2002; Hoffmann et al. 2003).”
Deep root function in soil water dynamics in cerrado savannas of central Brazil (2005, background): “Agricultural expansion has also led to an increase in burning, and areas still covered with natural vegetation are now burned almost every year (Klink & Moreira 2002).”
Carnivore mammals in a fragmented landscape in northeast of São Paulo State, Brazil (2008, background): “savanna physiognomies in an increasing density of trees, from campo sujo (grassy Weld with scattered trees) to cerradão (sclerophyllous woodland), being cerrado sensu stricto an intermediate form (typical cerrado with grasses, shrubs and many trees) (Coutinho 1978; Oliveira and Marquis 2002; Shida 2”
Drawbacks to palaeodistribution modelling: the case of South American seasonally dry forests (2013, background): “1; see Prado & Gibbs, 1993; Pennington et al., 2006, for more details), and are usually scattered throughout other vegetation types such as wet forests, savannas and woodlands (Oliveira-Filho & Ratter, 2002).”
Changes in the plant community of a Brazilian grassland savannah after 22 years of invasion by Pinus elliottii Engelm (2011, background): “The term cerrado is applied to the Brazilian savannah, with variants ranging from grassland to woodland physiognomies (Oliveira-Filho and Ratter 2002).”
Puma activity patterns and temporal overlap with prey in a human‐modified landscape at Southeastern Brazil (2018, background): “Therefore, the great variety of available prey (Oliveira & Marquis, 2002) offers an array of food items that can be consumed at alternative periods of the day.”
Climatic stability in the Brazilian Cerrado: implications for biogeographical connections of South American savannas, species richness and conservation in a biodiversity hotspot (2012, background): “From the LIG to the LGM the Cerrado retracted, reaching its minimum extent in this period, which is consistent with the lack of Cerrado-indicator taxa at some palynological sites (Ledru, 2002).”
Comparative growth analysis of tropical forest and savanna woody plants using phylogenetically independent contrasts (2003, background): “Forest species are more sensitive to fire than savanna species (Hoffmann & Moreira 2002), so savanna fires kill forest species establishing in the savanna environment (Hoffmann 2000) and degrade the forest edge.”
Stone tool use in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus. Is it a strategy to overcome food scarcity? (2012, background): “These monkeys live in a semiarid habitat (cerrado; Oliveira & Marquis 2002) in northeastern Brazil.”
