EFFECT OF FIRE ON FLOWERING AND FRUITING OF ANACARDIUM HUMILE (ANACARDIACEAE) IN CERRADO STRICTO SENSU [PDF]

Revista Árvore, 2018
ABSTRACT Knowledge about the effects of fire on sexual reproduction of Cerrado woody species is fundamental for elaborating public policies and management plans for its conservation. The present study evaluated the effect of a controlled burning on flowering and fruiting of Anacardium humile in an Cerrado stricto sensu environment, in Cavalcante, GO ...

Beyond Extrafloral Nectaries: Plant Traits as Drivers of Spider Occurrence in the Cerrado

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Patterns of predator occurrence arise from a mosaic of plant‐derived cues, yet most studies address these traits in isolation. Although extrafloral nectaries have received considerable attention, we lack a comprehensive view of how multiple plant traits jointly affect the diversity and abundance of spiders.

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1286-1298, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Flammability of cerrado stricto sensu plant species

Journal of Biotechnology and Biodiversity, 2019
Fire can cause damage and benefits to an ecosystem, and this relationship is influenced by two main factors: local weather conditions and fuel material characteristics. One of the main factors influencing the combustion process is the flammability of fuels, and its understanding is essential for the prevention of forest fires.

Floristic similarity of four areas of cerrado sensu stricto in Tocantins state

Journal of Biotechnology and Biodiversity, 2021
O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a similaridade entre a composição florística de quatro áreas de cerrado sensu stricto no estado do Tocantins, distribuídos em 9,5 hectares. Para análise observou-se uma lista de 75 espécies e 32 famílias, listadas em quatro diferentes estudos fitossociológicos realizados nos municípios de Dueré, Paranã e ...

Fire modulates the structural drivers and functioning of individual‐based plant‐pollinator networks

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ecological drivers that shape (positively or negatively) the plant‐pollinator network and determine plant fitness, both before and after a fire. Abstract Fire is a natural phenomenon that shapes ecosystems, but climate change and human activities have increased its frequency and magnitude, disrupting essential ecosystem services like pollination ...

Nutrient cycling between soil and leaf litter in the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) on eutrophic and dystrophic Neosols

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
We evaluated nutrient cycling by measuring leaf litter production and decomposition in the Brazilian savanna (cerrado sensu stricto) on eutrophic (calcareous) and dystrophic (arenitic) Neosols over the same spatiotemporal scale.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Seed dispersal and predation of Buchenavia tomentosa Eichler (Combretaceae) in a Cerrado sensu stricto, midwest Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2015
Abstract The ecology of seed dispersal is critical to understand the patterns of distribution and abundance of plant species. We investigated seed dispersal aspects associated with the high abundance of Buchenavia tomentosa in the Serra Azul State Park (PESA). We estimated fruit production and conducted fruit removal experiments. We carried out diurnal
