dc.description.abstract1 | Fire is a common disturbance in the Brazilian savanna (the cerrado), wherein high-frequency
fires drive the vegetation structure, composition, function, and dynamics of savanna ecosystems.
Under climate change pressure, further understanding of fire–vegetation relationships and interac tions can provide new approaches for establishing integrated fire management strategies and can
promote post-fire savanna vegetation recovery. To understand how 15 years of annually manipulated
burning has affected vertical and horizontal structures of the vegetation, species composition and
diversity metrics (species richness, Shannon’s diversity, and Pielou’s evenness), and aboveground
carbon stocks, we surveyed all woody plant species with a diameter greater than three centimeters,
in 15 plots of a typical Brazilian savanna (cerrado stricto sensu) at an experimental research station in
central Brazil (the cerrado biome). The 15 plots (five plots per treatment) had been differently affected
by fire events over a decade, and comprised three treatments: (i) annual fire, (ii) legacy fire (>15 years
since the last fire event), and (iii) control (not burned in the past 30 years). A non-metric multidimen sional scaling (NMDS) analysis indicated that fire had a significant effect on the species composition
among the treatments; some species benefited from fire, such as Erythroxylum suberosum, whereas
other species propagated better without fire, such as Roupala montana and Dalbergia miscolobium. Over
a decade of annual fire events have led to decreases in Shannon’s diversity, species richness, and stem
density, which were significantly lower in the annual fire treatment than in the control and legacy fire
treatments. Stem density by diameter and height size classes (except for the 1–2 m class and above
8 m class) was higher in the control than that in the annual fire treatment, but the number of dead
trees did not differ between the control and the annual fire treatment. Our results also showed that
fire was a factor in changes in the evaluated parameters, such as in the annual fire treatment, where
fire reduced the amount of biomass, and therefore the carbon stocks. This study suggests that, if
burned yearly, typical Brazilian savannas can become less biodiverse in terms of woody plant species
which negatively affects their fire resilience. Therefore, fire management practices should focus on
determining the frequency of fire disturbances from which these ecosystems may benefit the most. | pt_BR |
