Rupestrian grasslands (campos rupestres) are tropical landscapes consisting of a mosaic of
herbaceous and shrubby physiognomies on quartzite or ironstone that occur in highlands …

A number of floristic and vegetation studies apply the terms campo rupestre, campo de
altitude (or Brazilian páramo), and Tepui to neotropical azonal outcrop and montane …

RESUMO O presente estudo teve como objetivo revelar padrões de diversidade nos
campos rupestres, gerando informações úteis à conservação. O estudo desenvolvido em …

Although the high diversity of neotropical plants is often associated with rain forests, another
important location is open vegetation at mountain tops. In the present study, we investigated …

Ilhas de vegetação rodeadas de superfície rochosa foram estudadas em dois platôs do
Morro do Pai Inácio (41° 28'W e 12° 27'S), na Chapada Diamantina. Tais platôs possuem …

O fogo é um distúrbio recorrente em muitas áreas da Chapada Diamantina, geralmente
originado por ação antrópica e que ocasiona rápidas mudanças nas comunidades. Este …

Mountain ranges are important centers of biodiversity around the world. This high diversity is
the result of the presence of different soil types and underlying bedrock, a variety of micro …

Abstract Changes in relief in montane areas, with increasing altitude, provide different biotic
and abiotic conditions, acting on the species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The …

Increasing elevation affects many abiotic factors, such as a temperature decrease and an
increase in radiation, as well as multiple biotic characteristics such as richness and …

Old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs) have a disjunct yet wide distribution
worldwide. Old lineages, rare and geographically restricted species, generally characterise …
