MORPHOLOGICAL VARIABILITY OF CASHEWS FROM THE BRAZILIAN SAVANNAH

Acta Horticulturae, 2011
The cashew germplasm bank at Embrapa contains accessions collected in Brazil, including some accessions from the savannah. This is a biome with great biodiversity, typically represented by small, tortuous trees. This rich collection is not yet fully characterized, a fact that complicates the use of this plant material in breeding programs.

Impact of climate change on groundwater recharge in a Brazilian Savannah watershed

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021
There is little information about the availability of water in the Cerrado biome, the main agricultural frontier in Brazil, especially about groundwater, and this has compromised the region’s economic and social development, as well as environmental sustainability.

Adaptation of Soybean Bradyrhizobia to the Brazilian Edaphic Savannahs

2007
The vast Brazilian tropical edaphic savannah, referred to as Cerrado, is considered to be one of the last frontiers of agricultural utilization (xcBorloug and Dowswell, 1994). Soils are deep but leached of nutrients and, in general, strongly acidic (pH averages 5.0 and aluminum is present at toxic levels, xcVerdade, 1971).

Intrapopulation Diet Variation in Four Frogs (Leptodactylidae) of the Brazilian Savannah

Copeia, 2007
Age and sex-based as well as individual-level diet variation are known to occur in many natural populations, and may have important ecological and evolutionary implications. In the case of individual-level diet variation, most examples come from species-poor, temperate communities, and it is currently believed that it results from population niche ...

Quality of Arabica coffee grown in Brazilian Savannah and impact of potassium sources

Food Research International
Located in Brazil's Central Plateau, the Cerrado Savannah is an emerging coffee-growing region with significant potential for the national coffee market. This study investigated the impact of potassium fertilization on Arabica coffee quality in the Cerrado, using three potassium sources (K2SO4, KCl, and KNO3) and five cultivars (Arara, Aranãs, IPR103 ...

Variations in antioxidant properties of strawberries grown in Brazilian savannah and harvested in different seasons

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND: Strawberries are nutritive fruits and a source of antioxidants. We evaluated antioxidant properties of ‘Camino Real’ strawberries grown in the Brazilian savannah, harvested in different seasons. Analytical and meteorological data were analyzed by partial least squares regression.RESULTS: Fruits from May showed the lowest contents of

A New Species of Dichelacera (Dichelacera) Macquart (Diptera, Tabanidae) from the Brazilian Savannah

Neotropical Entomology, 2017
A new species of Dichelacera (Tabanidae, Diptera) is described, based on females from Arraias, state of Tocantins, Brazil. Diagnosis, discussion, and illustrations of external and internal characters are provided. In addition, we provide unpublished photographs of Dichelacera callosa Lutz for comparison.
