Vegetation structure and aboveground biomass of Páramo peatlands along a high-elevation gradient in the northern Ecuadorian Andes by Esteban Suárez, Esteban Suárez, John A. Hribljan, Segundo Chimbolema, Segundo Chimbolema, Katie Harvey, Victoria Triana, Juan E. Zurita, Ricardo Jaramillo, Ricardo Jaramillo, Lenka G. Doskocil, Lenka G. Doskocil

“…In terms of aboveground biomass, we found an 8-fold reduction in the higher peatlands compared to the lower sites, suggesting that the steep elevational gradients characteristic of Andean environments might be crucial in structuring the physiognomy and composition of peatland vegetation, either through its effects on temperature and other environmental factors, or through its effects on the age and development of soils. …”

Solos e vegetação nativa remanescente no Município de Campinas Soil and native vegetation remnant in Campinas, SP, Brazil by Ivan Carlos de Moraes Ferreira, Ricardo Marques Coelho, Roseli Buzanelli Torres, Luís Carlos Bernacci

“…Multivariate analysis identified n parameter of the water retention curve, bulk density, exchangeable H+Al, Ca, Al, K and Mg, macropores and soil organic matter as the most effective soil attributes to plant physiognomy differentiation. The chemical barrier imposed by excess aluminum and calcium deficiency, at B horizon, as well as low water retention in soils under savannah vegetation benefit Luehea grandiflora, Persea willdenovii, Xylopia aromatica and Erythroxylum daphnites, abundant and exclusive species on savannah fragments.…”
