Veredas and their use by birds in the Cerrado, South America: a review

Abstract: Abstract:In the Cerrado, veredas are linear physiognomies that occur on hydromorphic soil usually along narrow water courses. They often growth on flat terrain or near headwaters. They are characterised by the abundance of buriti palms (Mauritia flexuosa) that growth over other trees, numerous shrubs and a dense herbaceous stratum. Despite being common landscape elements through the Cerrado's extension, the use of veredas by birds has not been examined in detail. This study aimed to review studies of birds and… Show more

“…The M. flexuosa swamp communities owe their structure and functional features to this dominant palm, which provides the structural complexity and the habitat diversity for the occurrence of a characteristic and unique terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna that, otherwise, would not occur (e.g. Marrero et al, 1976;González, 1987;Huber & Febres, 2000;Montaña et al, 2008;Tubelis, 2009). This contributes to enhance neotropical forest, savanna and wetland diversity not only from a taxonomic ( -diversity) but also from a landscape ( -diversity) perspective.…”

“…Therefore, it is pertinent to investigate to what extent the distribution and development of these palm communities has been influenced by human activities, an enquiry that may shed light on the potential influence of pre-Columbian cultures on neotropical landscapes and biodiversity. Of additional interest is the fact that the M. flexuosa palm wetlands have been considered preferred conservation targets as potential refugia for their unique biota (González & Rial, 2011;Machado-Allison & Lasso, 2011) and also as important ecosystems for the protection of watersheds (Tubelis, 2009). …”

“…Apesar de sua inestimável importância na manutenção da biodiversidade, de cursos d'água e do lençol freático, grande parte das veredas está em avançado estado de degradação devido ao desorganizado uso da terra e expansão antrópica no Cerrado (Ferreira, 2003;Tubelis, 2009). O elevado grau de assoreamento resultante do desmatamento e o pisoteio pelo gado causam compactação do solo, o que consequentemente diminui a taxa de infiltração da água, rebaixa o lençol freático e reduz a vazão das nascentes (Meirelles et al, 2004).…”
