Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Open ecosystems, such as native grasslands and savannas, cover vast tropical areas and sustain multiple ecosystem services. However, they face intense degradation due to conversion into pastures with exotic grasses that invade natural ecosystems.

New record of Distimake ternifoliolus (Pittier) A.R.Simões & Staples (Convolvulaceae Juss.) from the Brazilian savanna reveals its disjunct distribution pattern [PDF]
We present the first record of Distimake ternifoliolus (Pittier) A.R.Simões & Staples (Convolvulaceae) from the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). This is a rare species, previously known only from the savannas of the Venezuelan Llanos and the Guianas.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects often rely on nurseries (NU) to provide plants to restore ecological communities. However, the range of species available in NU may not represent the range of ecological function found in species in reference (natural) communities.

Breeding systems of shrubs and trees of a Brazilian Savanna
, 2022 The reproductive biology of shrubs and trees of a preserved savanna (cerrado) area in the municipality of Corumbatai, Sao Paulo State, Brazil, was studied. The floral sexuality of 135 species were characterized, with 85.2 % hermaphroditic, 9.4 % dioecious, 4.5 % monoecious, and one andromonoecious.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Grasslands worldwide have been extensively converted to exotic tree plantations, resulting in persistent degradation and limited natural recovery after tree removal. In southern Brazil, pine plantations alter soil conditions and create dense litter layers that restrict native plant regeneration, highlighting the need for active ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Dynamics of Sudanian savanna-woodland ecosystem in response to disturbances [PDF]
, 2007 Grazing, fire and selective tree cutting are major disturbances shaping species diversity and productivity in savanna-woodland ecosystems. Their effects, however, are highly variable and poorly understood.
