Analysis of fire dynamics in the Brazilian savannas [PDF]
, 2017 Abstract. Wildfires play a key role in the ecology of savannas. The Brazilian savannas (Cerrado biome), where the extension of burned areas and amount of fires can be more numerous than in the Amazon, is frequently burned due to natural fires or land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes.

Characterization of soybean Bradyrhizobium strains adapted to the Brazilian savannas [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1999 Brazilian soils are originally free from soybean bradyrhizobia and the first inoculants were brought to the country in this century, but a search for adapted strains started immediately and still continues. A strain selection program was established at Embrapa based on the reisolation of strains after a long period of adaptation to the soils followed ...

The structure of an earth-mound field of the Brazilian Savanna
Geomorphology, 2021 Abstract The campos de murundus (literally “mound fields”) are intriguing landscapes composed of earth-mounds. These microreliefs occur in transition areas between the plateau and hydromorphic areas of the Brazilian Savanna. Several studies have analyzed the morphology of murundus to understand its genesis.
