Abstract:
The Amazonian savannas occupy approximately 150,000 km2 of the Brazilian Amazon, occurring in scattered isolated patches over large areas of forest in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Roraima and Rondônia. Despite having considerable variation in the Anuran composition between locations and between the savanna’s physiognomies, a systematic and geographically wide sampling has not been performed for the savanna from Amapá yet, located in the north of Brazil, eastern Amazonia. In this perspective, a study was conducted on the richness, composition, diversity, and abundance of Anuran species

Abstract:
Abstract Open habitats such as grasslands occupy &amp;lt; 5% of the Amazon and are currently grouped under the broad term Amazonian savanna, covering an area of c. 267 000 km2, mostly in Brazil and Bolivia. These habitats are found isolated within an extensive rainforest matrix, having a distinct flora from the latter. The lower Amazon River is home to several patches of savanna that occupy both south and north banks of the river, in Santarém, Alenquer and Monte Alegre. Although having an abundance of herbaceous plants, most studies on these open areas focus only on tree species, ignoring the

The main goal of this study was to reconstruct the Late Pleistocene-Holocene floristic composition in an area of the northern Brazilian Amazonia, comparing the results with other Amazonian localities in order to discuss the factors that have influenced phytophysiognomic changes over this time period. The work in eastern Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazonas River was approached based on analysis of 98 pollen and diatom samples from core data distributed along a proximal to distal transect of a paleoestuarine system.

Abstract:
Most savanna areas are affected by fire (San José &amp; Fariñas 1983, Scholes &amp; Archer 1997), and presumably all of the fauna that normally occurs in them have characteristics that allow them to maintain populations despite regular fires. Fires are frequent in Amazonian savannas and the vegetation is fire adapted. The Amazonian savanna at Alter do Chão suffers regular fires that affect vegetation structure (Sanaiotti &amp; Magnusson 1995). Fires pass quickly in this area, the vegetation recovers most of the pre-fire cover within 6 mo, and there appears to be no long-term effect on soil str

Abstract:
Fire is a key ecological driver in tropical savannas, yet its effects on plant biodiversity remain understudied in Amazonian savannas. This study investigates how fire recurrence influences taxonomic and functional diversity in savanna ecosystems in northeastern Amazonia. We conducted vegetation surveys across five phytophysiognomies in Amapá State, Brazil, and compiled trait data for 226 plant species. Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) were used to evaluate the relationships between fire frequency and diversity metrics across five landscape scales. The results showed that taxonomic di

Abstract:
An Amazonian savanna in northern Brazil known as the Cerrado of Amapá 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. However, the area remains under-sampled for most taxa, and better sampling may uncover new species. We estimate that only ~9.16% of these habitats have any kind of protection, and legislative changes threaten to further weaken or remove this protection.

Knowledge of the avifaunal composition of Amazonian savannas is important in facilitating a greater understanding of the patterns of evolution of the regional biota.

Gallery forests are important to the maintenance of a substantial portion of the biodiversity in neotropical savanna regions, but management guidelines specific to this forest type are limited. Here, we use birds as study group to assess if: (1) functional traits can predict the abundance and occupancy of forest species within a savanna landscape, (2) habitat structures influence the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of forest assemblages, and (3) less diverse gallery forest assemblages are a nested subset of more diverse assemblages living near continuous forests.
