Hyperdominant Trees Reveal Savanna Vulnerability Under Climate Change. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
The Brazilian Cerrado's forest structure relies disproportionately on just 30 hyperdominant tree species, which represent 50% of all individuals despite accounting for only 2% of species richness. This study evaluates their vulnerability under climate change scenarios for 2100.

Seed size and presence of thorns in Caryocar brasiliense on seedling emergence

Bioscience Journal, 2022
Commercial propagation of pequizeiro, which stands out among the main native fruits of the Cerrado region for its high economic potential, has been done by seeds, despite their erratic germination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed size and presence of thorns on the endocarp on seedling emergence of pequizeiro in the field.
