Deforestation and climate change have the capacity to alter rainfall regimes, water availability, surface‐atmosphere flux of energy tropical forests, especially in ecotonal, semi‐deciduous forests southern Amazon Basin, which experienced rapid regional warming deforestation over last three decades. To reduce uncertainty regarding current future flux, micrometeorological measurements latent ( Q e ) sensible heat h canopy conductance G c were combined with sap density F d maximum leaf g smax...

This study analyzed how seasonal and interannual variations in climate alter litter dynamics, including production, decomposition, accumulation. Monthly measurements of leaf, stem, reproductive (flower plus fruit) the forest floor mass were combined with a balance model to determine rates decomposition for semideciduous tropical located rain forest‐savanna ecotone southern Amazon Basin 2001–2007. Annual production varied between 8 10.5 Mg ha −1 , leaf accounted majority (∼70%) total...

Brazilian savanna (cerrado) is composed of vegetation and soil types that are spatially variable, links between cerrado physiognomy properties poorly understood. To reduce this uncertainty, we measured the plant community structure within located near Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, Brazil, varied in physical chemical properties. We hypothesized composition, including tree density, leaf area index (LAI), grass cover, species diversity would be highly correlated with C content fertility. Our results...

The Pantanal is a biodiversity hotspot comprised of mosaic landforms that differ in vegetative assemblages and flooding dynamics. Tree islands provide refuge for terrestrial fauna during the period are particularly important to regional ecosystem structure. Little soil CO2 research has been conducted this region. We evaluated dynamics relation primary controlling environmental parameters (soil temperature water). Soil respiration was computed using gradient method situ infrared gas analyzers...

Abstract The savanna vegetation of Brazil (Cerrado) accounts for 20–25% the land cover and is second largest ecosystem following Amazonian forest; however, Cerrado mass energy exchange still highly uncertain. We used eddy covariance to measure net CO 2 (NEE) grass‐dominated ( campo sujo ) over 3 years. hypothesized that soil water availability would be a key control seasonal interannual variations in NEE. Multiple regression indicated gross primary production (GPP) was positively correlated...

This study investigated the influences of regional climate and soil moisture conditions on vegetative reproductive cycles seven savanna forest vegetation communities Pantanal Mato-grossense. Circular analysis phenological data revealed occurrence interspecific synchronism seasonal responses in activities, with flowering patterns differing most between communities. Leaf shedding intensity events were closely linked to climatic seasonality. Over half individuals semideciduous or deciduous,...

Tropical forest trees are sensitive to climate variations, especially during anomalously warm and dry years that occur El Niño. However, species growth responses poorly understood. We measured annual stem of 27 different tree from upland seasonally flooded forests woodlands in the Cuiaba Basin Northern Pantanal Mato Grosso, Brazil. Stem increment was using plastic, spring-loaded dendrometer bands installed on 344 trees. Measurements were made between 2015 2019, which encompassed 2015–16 Niño...

Brazilian tropical savanna (referred to as Cerrado) has enormous structural variability ranging from tree- and shrub-free grasslands tall, dense forests that are found in both well-drained upland seasonally flooded (hyperseasonal) landforms. These hydrological variations cause aboveground carbon (C) storage, presumably nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) storage fluxes; however, the effects of these on ecosystem N P pools fluxes less well-known. Thus, our objective was analyze for a spectrum Cerrado...
