Savannas are found primarily in regions with a warm or hot climate, typically near the equator, which influences their distinct flora and fauna; whereas grasslands can be found in both temperate and tropical regions, showing a broader geographical distribution. 7 Savannas are defined by a seasonal...
The woodlands, savannah and grasslands of the Brazilian Cerrado support diverse flora and fauna with many endemic species (Figure I). More than 50% has been cleared, mainly for pasture and the cultivation of cash crops. Biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss, soil degradation, the spread of...
Where least changed, Indian savannas often have thorny Acacia, Mimosa, and Zizyphus trees growing on top of a grass cover primarily made up of Sehima and Dichanthium, the latter of which is also known as bluestem. At temperate latitudes in Australia, neither the fauna nor the flora is disti...
An Amazonian savanna in northern Brazil known as the Cerrado of Amap谩 is under imminent threat from poor land-use planning, the expansion of large-scale agriculture and other anthropogenic pressures. These savannas house a rich and unique flora and fauna, including endemic plants and animals. ...
VURHONGA SAVANNA’S FAUNA Humming with life, Vurhonga Savanna supports a wide range of animals. On these thriving grounds you will be able to watch the Blue Wildebeest herds passing, chase after Lesser Kudus, catch a Springbok pronking, a Scrub Hare, and Warthogs grazing by the waterh...

We thank the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program (funded...
Because of the heterogeneity of landscapes, this biome is considered a biodiversity “hotspot,” with many endemic flora and fauna (Myers et al., 2000) but with plant diversity not necessarily correlated with biomass (Morandi et al., 2018). Although a number of abiotic factors such as ...

Studies about fire ecological impacts on climate, soils, nutrient cycling, fauna and flora are available, and they are important to guide the understanding of the fire regime that could be accepted for a distinct area or region in the future. Fire regime has been tremendously affected by the ...
