Post-fire reproduction of herbs at a savanna-gallery forest boundary in Distrito Federal, Brazil

Abstract: In Cerrado, studies of post-fire vegetation recovery show that some herbaceous species are able to flower shortly after fires. However, these were mainly short-term studies that focused on grasslands and savannas. Little is known about the effects of fire on ground layer of forests that border the savannas in Central Brazil. Thus, an accidental burning gave us the opportunity to describe the reproductive activity of the ground layer vegetation after a fire event along a savanna-forest boundary at the IBGE Ecol… Show more

“…Broader evidence from Cerrado grass species shows that fire stimulates flowering (Massi et al, 2017), promotes seed set of faster-germinating seeds (Le Stradic et al, 2015), and produces post-fire soil temperatures that increase germination (Musso et al, 2014). These findings, in addition to our results, suggest that grass species of savanna physiognomies of the Cerrado have adaptations that would place seedlings into the post-fire environment (our unpublished data), likely…”

“…A estimativa de precipitação diária, mensal e anual é fundamental para a compreensão da intensidade das áreas queimadas uma vez que durante a seca, o déficit de umidade local influencia no material combustível disponível para queimada (Massia et al, 2017). Deste modo, secas mais intensas ou mais prolongadas podem ser ameaças às florestas tropicais, porque a vegetação fica cada vez mais vulnerável ao fogo (Neves et al, 2018).…”

“…No Cerrado o fogo está presente a mais de 10 milhões de anos, sendo associado às fisionomias de gramíneas e herbáceas que são mais propensas às queimadas anuais e possuem maior capacidade de rebrota, sendo essa uma estratégia ecológica mais comum entre as espécies savânicas (Massia et al, 2017).…”

“…However, besides precipitation seasonality, fire has also been reported as an important factor influencing flowering and fruiting, both in Cerrado (e.g. Munhoz & Felfili 2005;Massi et al 2017) and in the Campos Sulinos (Fidelis & Blanco 2014), and sampling shortly after fire may thus be interesting to answer specific questions related to responses of the plant community to fire. Responses of plant communities to grassland management (Baggio et al 2018), restoration procedures (Thomas et al 2019), or other types of treatments, e.g.…”
