Abstract Background The Cerrado of central Brazil—the world's largest Neotropical savanna–
is comprised of a mosaic of highly heterogeneous vegetation growing on an extremely …

Aim The interconnectedness and biotic interchange among Neotropical biomes are thought
to play an important role in driving adaptation and diversification. However, how these …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) contents are commonly high in the mountainous tropical soils
with wet climates in Southeastern and Southern Brazil, but high SOC soils in the Brazilian …

Here, we explore the historical and contemporaneous patterns of connectivity among
Encholirium horridum populations located on granitic inselbergs in an Ocbil landscape …

Intracontinental deformations cause the uplift of erosive surfaces and are consequence of
lithosphere destabilization processes in cratonic domains. The Atlantic Ocean opening …

Understanding the processes that generate and maintain biodiversity at and below the
species level is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Here we explore the spatial and …

Resumo A Chapada das Mesas, Maranhão/Tocantins, possui uma das paisagens mais
fidedignas às unidades de chapadas no Brasil. Entretanto, esta região foi pouco estudada …

The importance of environmental quality for global social and ecological development,
including soil degradation, cannot be overstated. Trace elements dispersed in the …

Capturas fluviais foram pouco investigadas no Brasil e apenas recentemente essa situação
se alterou e sua ocorrência e feições correlatas foram sistematicamente estudadas para as …

Extensive pasture systems established in highly weathered tropical soils on steep slopes
