Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Plain Savanna & Woodland Macrogroup | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Plain Savanna & Woodland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The macrogroup includes savanna vegetation that occurs on sandy soils of the coastal plains of Brazil. In the north it corresponds to savanna enclaves that develop on the deeper sandy soils of coastal sedimentary plains. The savanna vegetation ranges from a dense, tall grass cover with scattered trees, to a shrub savanna with dense thickets interrupted by open spaces where herbaceous vegetation is relatively sparse. Diagnostic for this macrogroup are <i>Kielmeyera</i> sp., Cactaceae, and Bromeliaceae. Farther south on the coast, the macrogroup includes the xeric shrublands dominated by columnar cacti found in the peninsula of Buzios and Cabo Frio Island in southeastern Brazil. The particularly dry climate of the peninsula allows the development of this community, especially in the hills facing towards the ocean.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40928-{1C1C2E9F-A3F4-4F9A-B75C-A2EDAF3ABBBE} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
