Name: Eastern Guianan Savanna & Shrubland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These are savannas developed mostly on sandy soils originated in marine deposits along the coastal plain of Guyana, French Guiana and Surinam. Those growing on shallow soils on lateritic hardpans are the shortest, most species-poor and with sparsest coverage, while those developed on ferralitic-clayish, deeper soils have a continuous grass coverage of grass tussocks which may or may not have dispersed clusters of woody species up to 5 m high. Climate in all cases is humid. Diagnostic species are <i>Rhynchospora barbata, Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Leptocoryphium lanatum, Axonopus aureus, Panicum micranthum, Scleria pyramidalis, Lagenocarpus tremulus, Paspalum pulchellum, Trachypogon plumosus, Schizachyrium riedelii, Bulbostylis capillaris, Borreria hispida, Sebastiana corniculata, Palicourea rigida, Clidemia rubra, Curatella americana, Byrsonima coccolobifolia</i>, and <i>Tibouchina aspera</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40927-{069D9F2A-B768-447F-AF02-F0821BEB3096} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
