DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3330-x
Abstract: Background and aimsThe survival and coexistence of plants in water-limited environments are related to their ability to coordinate water acquisition and regulation of water loss. To assess the coordination among below and aboveground hydraulic traits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3503-7
Abstract: Background and aimsWe sought to describe the species and functional composition of Brazilian campos rupestres plant communities on severely nutrient-impoverished white sands, to test hypotheses relating plant communities and physiological adaptations to infertile soils. Based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41597-019-0141-3
Abstract: The rocky, seasonally-dry and nutrient-impoverished soils of the Brazilian campos rupestres impose severe growth-limiting conditions on plants. Species of a dominant plant family, Velloziaceae, are highly specialized to low-nutrient conditions and seasonal water availability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa179
Abstract: With extraordinary levels of plant diversity and endemism, the Brazilian campos rupestres across the Espinhaço Range have a species/area ratio 40 times higher than the lowland Amazon. Although diversification drivers in campos rupestres remain a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0450
Abstract: Campos rupestres (rupestrian grasslands) are characterized by the presence of rock outcrops associated with an herbaceous-shrub physiognomy typically growing on quartzitic soils; they occur a wide variety of habitats. Bryophytes respond rapidly and efficiently to… read more here.
