Global sustainability rests on a myriad of benefits provided by natural ecosystems that support human livelihoods and well-being, from biodiversity persistence to climate regulation. The undeniable importance conserving tropical forests has drawn most the conservation spotlight towards it. However, open such as Brazilian Campo Rupestre (rupestrian grassland), have been historically overlooked despite their high diversity key associated ecosystem services. We highlight major current threats...
The increase in rates of habitat loss requires an understanding how biodiversity is distributed. Campo rupestre old, climatically buffered, and infertile landscape located Brazil. Considered a hotspot, the campo mainly threatened by mining activity that large operating area. known for its restricted distribution area high abiotic heterogeneity, which modulates species coexistence richness. To recognise association between type plant communities, we propose to describe floristic composition...
Soil nutrients are one of the main drivers plant species composition and distribution, mainly due to role they play in survival reproductive success. However, nutritional requirements plants inhabiting their native ecosystems still poorly known. This is case for most campo rupestre vegetation, which found on infertile soils quartzitic ferruginous origin. The present study evaluated effects macronutrients substrates growth micro-endemic Vellozia nanuzae (Velloziaceae). Plant mortality was...
