Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
