The deadly route to collapse and the uncertain fate of Brazilian rupestrian grasslands [PDF]
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2018 Rupestrian grasslands are biodiverse, evolutionary old vegetation complexes that harbor more than 5000 species of vascular plants and one of the highest levels of plant endemism in the world. Growing on nutrient–impoverished soils and under harsh environmental conditions, these mountaintop ecosystems were once spared from major human interventions of ...
