Name:
Cerrado Seasonal Dry Forest Macrogroup
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
This macrogroup represents the seasonal deciduous forest distributed across the Cerrado in Brazil, on topographies or soils (limestone- and basalt-derived) with improved moisture and nutrient availability which allow the growth of forests instead of woody savannas. It includes also seasonal forests with the same floristic affinity but with more extensive, continuous distribution in the Bolivian lowlands adjacent to the southwest of the Cerrado, known as the Chiquitano region. Forests in this macrogroup range from partially open mid-sized forests to multi-strata forest, 20-25 m high, with abundant lianas. Diagnostic species include <i>Amburana cearensis, Anadenanthera colubrina, Cariniana estrellensis, Cassia ferruginea, Cedrela fissilis, Centrolobium tomentosum, Chloroleucon tenuiflorum, Dilodendron bipinnatum, Guazuma ulmifolia, Jacaranda caroba, Lonchocarpus domingensis (= Lonchocarpus sericeus), Physocalymma scaberrimum, Platycyamus regnellii, Trichilia elegans, Zanthoxylum rhoifolium, Anadenanthera peregrina var. falcata, Tabebuia impetiginosa, Aspidosperma cf. subincanum, Astronium urundeuva, Lacistema aggregatum, Dilodendron bipinnatum, Astronium fraxinifolium, Guarea guidonia (= Guarea trichilioides), Acrocomia sclerocarpa, Callisthene fasciculata</i>. The Chiquitano forests share mostly the same species with a few others such as <i>Eriotheca roseorum, Guibourtia chodatiana, Holocalyx balansae, Machaerium scleroxylon, Piptadenia viridiflora, Peltogyne heterophylla, Platypodium elegans, Pseudobombax marginatum, Pterogyne nitens, Acosmium cardenasii, Talisia esculenta, Ocotea cernua, Nectandra megapotamica, Lonchocarpus nudiflorens, Cedrela fissilis</i>.
