The influence of fire on ecosystems and the adaptation of plants as a response to fire is still unclear. Cerrado is one of the Brazilian ecosystems prone to periodic fires; it is a complex, heterogeneous system with well-adapted flora. This biome is composed of several families of plants, including the Fabaceae family (legumes). The Fabaceae shows adaptations to fire, such as their underg…
The presence of fire occurs on planet Earth from the Silurian period, and since then it has acted as an agent of natural selection in communities of different ecosystems. Savannah environments, territories where grasses and trees coexist, have an unstable dynamics, controlled by several factors, including competition for resources and disturbances, such as fire. Thus, plant species have d…
The Cerrado is a heterogeneous biome and has very complex and dynamic ecological relationships due to the incidence of the action of fire. The native plant species of this biome have a series of adaptations, mainly in its underground system, one of them known as xylopodium. The xylopodium is a lignified, thick structure, spherical, cylindrical or devoid of a definite shape and with a high…
The influence of fire on ecosystems and the adaptation of plants in response to this element is still not very comprehensive. Among the Brazilian ecosystems that are prone to periodic fires is the Cerrado, a complex and heterogeneous biome, where it is possible to find a well-adapted flora. Among the families found in this biome, there are included legumes, with species whose characterist…
The lead occurs naturally in nature, but human activities have contributed to contamination in the soil, making it a major problem. In recent years researchers are looking for remediation techniques to try decontaminating soils and among them the phytoremediation is one process that involve plants. One process of phytoremediation is using native plants, but the number of studies in this a…
The Cerrado is a 'hotspot' of global biodiversity, with diverse flora with adaptations to fire, such as thickened underground stems that regrowth after action of fires, perennial herbs, flowering and fruiting with specialized phenologies to the dynamics of fire. Its original area was very destroyed or converted to other uses such as pasture and crops, using some exotic grasses that have b…
