Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.After 60 years without fire, as tree biomass increases, the Cerrado vegetation is still losing biodiversity. Exploring what happens at the ground layer, we found a strong functional bias in the battle among species to survive in the shade. There are clear losers and winners, the last driving the plant community to a forest structure, composition, and ...
