The "Cerrado" is a savanna biome which is distributed along a wide geographical range along the Brazilian territory. Its most prominent vegetation type is the cerrado sensu stricto, which consists of a dominant herbaceous layer (rich in herbs and grasses) where woody species occur scattered distributed, possessing different degrees of density. This typical vegetation appears throughout th…
The typical savanna vegetation of the Cerrado Biome are characterized by a high diversity of plants from diverse growth forms. Such species must cope with the natural occurrence of fire and water seasonality to persist under this environment. Most species are perennial, promptly sprouting after the fire passage, or in its absence, during the dry season. It is well known that non-arboreal …
Atmospheric bromeliads are epiphytes with unique characteristics, with reduced size, presence of non-functional roots, absortive leaves, and capacity to form massive populations. Thus, epiphyte communities dominated by these plants could be an interesting model to metacommunities studies. The aim of this study is to test over four chapters, the paradigms of Metacommunity theory (i.e. "spe…
Many studies suggest that the majority of species occurring in typical savanna exhibit leaf morphological and functional traits to tolerate the high irradiances present in this system. In this way, when vegetation becomes denser such species would disappear. This study aims to analyze the morphological and functional traits in typical Cerrado species and even in species that survive under…

The coexistence among species is often due to environment heterogeneity and trade-offs generated by differences in species' life history, as those related to dispersion capacity and competitive skills. Epiphytic communities are one of the best examples of the space as limiting resource in tropics, due to the massive amount of these plants on tropical canopies. Communities dominated by atm…
