Anthropogenic biodiversity decline threatens the functioning of ecosystems and many benefits they provide to humanity1. As well as causing species losses in directly affected locations, human influence might also reduce relatively unmodified vegetation if far-reaching anthropogenic effects trigger local extinctions hinder recolonization. Here we show that plant diversity is globally negatively related level activity surrounding region. Impoverishment natural was evident only when considered...
Abstract Fire is a frequent disturbance in the Cerrado and one of major factors affecting vegetation structure diversity. events open gaps within herbaceous layer increase temperature fluctuation soil surface. In addition to being an important environmental filter for germination, fire germination cue species with physiological dormancy. This study aimed evaluate native grasses, using daily fluctuations heat shock overcome dormancy grasses. We also evaluated seed longevity after dispersal...
Abstract Questions Fire is an important ecological factor influencing plant communities in many fire‐prone ecosystems. Savannas the Cerrado are resilient to fire, with plants exhibiting fire‐related traits, allowing them persist post‐fire environments. Therefore, excluding fire may result changes community dynamics, thus affecting their resilience. We investigated effect of reintroduction savannas where has been excluded for longer periods (>12 years) on seedling recruitment. asked...
