The seed-bank dynamics of cerrado, a savanna-like vegetation type in central Brazil, was
monitored for a year after a fire event in the mid-dry season. Fifty paired soil and litter …

Direct seeding is a promising technique for ecological restoration, but it has been poorly
studied in neotropical savannas. Different types of plant cover (no cover, crops, or green …
