Fire regime drives plant responses and plant traits in fire-prone environments. Besides, altering any component of fire regime, such as fire frequency, could lead to changing plant response, diversity, and community dynamics. Hence, we aim to evaluate how fire affects plant traits in a Tropical Savanna. For that, we will focus on four main points: I) evaluate the Intra and interspecific v…
In the Cerrado, one of the abiotic factors that influence plant phenology is fire, which is a natural disturbance that interferes with several ecosystems in the world. The fire changes the conditions of the habitat and can affect the flowering, fruiting, seeds and germination traits. Therefore, this project aims to understand the effect of fire on the reproductive phenology of the Cerrad…

Seed and germination traits can provide essential information on recruitment, seedling establishment, plant function and adaptation, and thereby ecological strategies. However, in fire-prone ecosystems, fire regimes (e.g. fire frequency) affect plant/seed traits and trait variability thus interfering in those essential processes. It is therefore our main aim to specifically capture seed t…
Fire is considered a disturbance capable of altering the environment and vital organism processes. In addition, it can act as an evolutionary pressure on plant traits, including seed traits such as seed size (mass), seed shape and permeability. Thus, in this study we aim to access whether seed traits will vary according to fire history and/or regime. We will measure seed shape, size(mass)…
