Oxyfluorfen bioavailability in Brazilian Savanna soils
Oxyfluorfen is a pre-emergent herbicide applied via soil; however, the soil attributes have not been considered to predict the herbicide doses. This study aimed to evaluate the bioavailability of the oxyfluorfen herbicide in Brazilian Savanna soils with ...

ASSESSMENT OF TEXTURE FEATURES FOR BRAZILIAN SAVANNA CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY IN BRASÍLIA NATIONAL PARK [PDF]
Distinguishing Brazilian savanna physiognomies is an essential task to better evaluate carbon storage and potential emissions of greenhouse gases. In this study, we propose to evaluate the potential of texture features to improve the discrimination among

Review of Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as bioindicators in the Brazilian Savanna [PDF]
The Brazilian Savanna is threatened mainly by the expansion of agriculture and livestock. Regarding environmental problems, habitat loss in the biome and the need to verify studies on ants as bioindicators, the goal of this paper was to carry out a ...

Spatial distribution of soil δ13C in the central Brazilian savanna
Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of soil record information regarding C3 and C4 plants at the landscape scale that can be used to document vegetation distribution patterns. The Central Brazilian savanna (locally called the Cerrado) has a substantial potential to develop studies of patterns of dynamics and distribution of soil δ13C, due to its ...

Seasonal variation of ground spiders in a Brazilian Savanna [PDF]
The Brazilian Savanna Ecoregion (Cerrado) is one of the richest biomes in the world, with a characteristic highly seasonal climate a dry season between May and September and a rainy season from October through April. Ground-dwelling spiders from three Cerrado phytophysiognomies, "campo cerrado", "cerrado" and "cerrad o", were sampled using pitfall ...

Ecological phytochemistry of Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) plants [PDF]
The Cerrado (the Brazilian savanna) is one of the vegetation formations of great biodiversity in Brazil and it has experienced strong deforestation and fragmentation. The Cerrado must contain at least 12,000 higher plant species.We discuss the ecological relevance of phytochemical studies carried out on plants from the Cerrado, including examples of ...

Ant pollination of Paepalanthus lundii (Eriocaulaceae) in Brazilian savanna. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims Ant–plant associations are widely diverse and distributed throughout the world, leading to complex ecological networks. Regarding ant–plant mutualism, ant pollination is a very rare interaction and few studies have shown the role of ants as pollinators. Therefore, we aimed

Unmasking the architecture of ant-diaspore networks in the Brazilian Savanna. [PDF]
Ant-diaspore interactions are directly related to fruit consumption, seed predation and dispersal, being determinant for the plant fitness. However, although abundant and diversified, these ecological interactions have been neglected in network studies.
