Revisão Dos Efeitos Do Fogo Sobre a Fauna De Formações Savânicas Do Brasil

Abstract: Entender como a biota responde aos eventos de fogo é de extrema relevância para o manejo e a conservação dos ecossistemas terrestres, especialmente em face das mudanças ambientais globais e do aumento das atividades antrópicas. Apresentamos aqui uma revisão dos artigos publicados até o ano de 2009 a respeito do efeito do fogo sobre a fauna das formações savânicas brasileiras. Dentre os 1.512 artigos encontrados na Web of Knowledge utilizando as palavras-chave "cerrado fire*" ou "savanna fire*", apenas 12 trata… Show more

“…melanoticus, another species typical of the Brazilian savanna, did not change in abundance after the fire. Therefore, the fire can interfere with the survival rate of certain species, destroying their basic niche requirements, but can confer advantage to other species better adapted to live in more xeric conditions (Frizzo et al, 2011).…”

“…It is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world due to species richness and a high percentage of endemism, containing more than 10,000 cataloged plant species [30,31], in which species display morphological and functional dependence from fire [32][33][34]. Several authors have shown that although fire-dependent ecosystems, such as the Cerrado, have evolved in the presence of recurrent natural fires and are dependent on them to maintain their biodiversity, high human pressure through frequent burning may have negative impacts on species diversity [35,36]. Fire is commonly used in agricultural land management, affecting water flow and facilitating erosive processes [37], and promoting deterioration of physical and chemical soil characteristics, reducing its productive potential [38].…”

“…Another important factor driving anthropic fire occurrence is the introduction of exotic grasses that may cause a fast accumulation of inflammable biomass, enhancing fire occurrence (Cianciaruso, Silva, & Batalha, 2009). Changes caused by anthropic fires can affect animals in many ways, driven not only by the species sensitivity to the impact, but also by the fire intensity, frequency, and extension, allied to the proximity to unburned areas (Frizzo, Bonizário, Borges, & Vasconcelos, 2011).…”

Among the groups used for bioindication, insects offer faster responses, supporting an early diagnosis of the environment (Schowalter, 2006 (Silveira et al, 2013), and dominance (Andersen, 1991;Parr & Andersen, 2008).…”
