Name:
Parana Upland Savanna & Shrubland Macrogroup
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
These group of savannas are associated with soils derived from sandstones of the Misiones Formation, east of Paraguay in the southern limit of the Cerrado with the Alto parana and the colluvial deposits of this formation in the Misiones area of Argentina and adjacent Uruguay, where sandy soils are typical from the accumulation of sediments carried by the Uruguay River. Depending on their location, the composition may vary, but in general, it includes savannas with a well-developed grass stratum and varying levels of woody coverage. Along the plains of the Uruguay River, they are often dominated by palm groves of <i>Butia yatay</i>, and by <i>Acrocomia totai</i> in Paraguay. Accompanying species are <i>Schizachyrium condensatum, Setaria parviflora, Rhynchelitrum repens, Fimbristylis complanata, Andropogon bicornis, Cenchrus echinatus, Digitaria insularis, Panicum laxum, Panicum pernambucense</i>, and <i>Bulbostylis capillaris</i>, and among the woody species are <i>Solanum sisymbrifolium, Cochlospermum regium, Magonia pubescens, Caryocar brasiliense, Luehea grandiflora, Gochnatia polymorpha, Isostigma riedelii, Vernonia bardanioides, Eupatorium variegatum, Gochnatia barrosii, Annona dioica, Duguetia furfuracea, Butia paraguayensis, Attalea guaranitica, Peltophorum dubium, Allagoptera leucocalyx, Helietta apiculata, Byrsonima</i> spp., and <i>Curatella</i> spp.
