Abstract Aims We offer a first classification of South Brazilian grasslands ( Campos Sulinos ) based on quantitative vegetation data and describing grassland types in terms dominant indicator species. Location (Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul states). Methods described plots 167 sampling units throughout the region using stratified nested design, totalizing 1,502 1 m² quadrats. classified cluster analysis Bray–Curtis dissimilarities, establishing three ten subtypes. conducted...
The natural vegetation in the highlands of southernmost state Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, is characterized by extensive grasslands mosaics with Araucaria forests, usually under cattle grazing. Plant species diversity and endemism these high, though poorly recognized conservation policy general public, conversion rates into other land uses are high. In this paper, we give an overview principal biological features grassland South Brazilian highland region (plant richness diversity) initiate a...
The expansion of land use for agriculture is among the main reasons reduction natural grasslands around world, and little known about recovery potential original native grassland vegetation from seed banks. aim this study was to assess bank areas with or without history cultivation in southern Brazil. Specifically, we aimed at evaluating if agricultural allowed persistence species typical soil We analyzed banks two a grasslands. Samples were collected spring autumn order transient persistent...
Coastal grasslands are one of the most threatened types in southern Brazil. To evaluate if areas with diff erent landuse history er current grassland species composition and structure, four were selected according to management: Entisols used for extensive livestock breeding (GR1 GR2 sites); Alfi sols rice production fallow periods (GRC), rotation soybean (GSB). In each area, soil vegetation characterized. We verifi ed that GR1, GSB, GRC sites followed a decreasing order richness. Despite...
