Abstract:
Studies of rock outcrops in tropical South America have increased in recent years, but they have often been restricted to individual countries, single biomes or single disciplines (e.g. through a floristic, functional or genetic lens), limiting their generality. We review the current state of knowledge on the geological and floristic diversity of rock outcrops in tropical South America to identify knowledge gaps and generate testable hypotheses for future research into the biogeography and evolution of their plant communities. We find that the diversity of lowland rock outcrop vegetation is di

Abstract:
Rock outcrop communities usually receive very little attention from scientists and environmentalists. We examined the vegetation occurring in eight gneiss-granite rock outcrops at Rio de Janeiro State (Brazilian Atlantic coast) which exists in natural associations on soil islands. A total of 86 vascular plant species, belonging to 30 families, was found on 347 soil islands. Bromeliaceae, Asteraceae and Velloziaceae species were the most frequent plants, many of them endemic to these habitats. Ordination and cluster analyses using species frequency on each site made evident some major distincti

Abstract:
The rocky outcrops in the municipality of Campo Mourão (Paraná State) are all surrounded by remaining Atlantic Forest, unlike the typical outcrops associated with river courses, fields, or hilltops. Because it is such specific vegetation, it is essential to record the floristic composition, verifying only species and the conservation status of local populations. This study cataloged the species of vascular plants occurring in four rocky outcrops areas of Campo Mourão: Nishida outcrop (1,808 ha); Bica do Rio do Campo outcrop (0.458 ha); Perdoncini outcrop (0.228 ha), and Lago Azul State Park ou

Abstract:
Granite outcrops embedded in south-western Australian forests provide habitat for unique biotic assemblages and refugia for fire-sensitive taxa. Discontinuous vegetation and natural barriers to fire spread enable outcrops to function as fire refugia, provided fires in the surrounding forest are not of high intensity. In Summer 2003, lightning started a fire in jarrah forest that had not been burnt for almost 20 years. The high-intensity fire burned the vegetation on Mount Cooke, a large granite outcrop, providing an opportunity to study the response of Calothamnus rupestris Schauer, a fire-sen

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Although inselbergs from around the world are iconic ecosystems, little is known on the underlying mechanisms of community assembly, especially in their characteristic patchy outcrop vegetation. Environmental constraints are expected to cause phylogenetic clustering when ecological niches are conserved within evolutionary lineages. We tested whether vegetation patches from rock outcrops of the Piedra La Tortuga Natural Monument, in the northern Amazon region, are phylogenetically clustered, indicating that environmental filtering is the dominant driver of community assemblage therein.

Abstract:
A comparative study of vegetation responses to fire and drought investigated whether species regeneration mode, seedling density response (SDR) and seedling shoot growth rate varied significantly in relation to disturbance agent (fire and drought), habitat type (rock-outcrop and fringing vegetation) and plant growth form. A three-way ANOVA showed that SDR varied significantly in relation to all three categorical variables and most strongly in relation to disturbance agent. Seeders comprised 87% of the post-fire flora and 99.3% of the peak seedling population in rock-outcrop habitat, while resp

Ecological and ecophysiological investigations carried out at the ultramafic outcrop near Meikle Kilrannoch, Angus, Scotland are reported. The outcrop is botanically famous for its rare plant species, particularly the endemic Cerastium fontanum ssp. scoticum and the nationally rare Lychnis alnina. The studies were made on the main outcrop (called MK1) which is dome shaped, and on a much smaller low-lying area (called MK1.5) about 300 m from it. The overall aim of the studies was to investigate the relationship between the soil physico-chemical environment and species distribution on the open a
