This work is ideal for ecologists, environmental scientists, economic botanists, and anyone interested in South American ecosystems or conservation biology. It serves both researchers and readers seeking detailed knowledge of the cerrado biome.
The grasslands of Brazil - known as the cerrados - cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America. This text brings together researchers on the area to produce an account of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem.
The massive grasslands of Brazil-known as the cerrados-which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.

Description
While the imperilled Brazilian rainforest has been the focus of considerable international media attention and conservation efforts, the massive grasslands of Brazil—known as the cerrados—which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little notice.
The Cerrados of Brazil brings together leading researchers on the area to produce a detailed account of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem.
