Modelling competitive ability of neotropical savanna grasses: Simulation of shading and drought impacts on biomass production
(Ecological Informatis 13: 57-69, 2013)
In this paper, we develop a technique to model the spatial distribution of shoots along vertical and horizontal
dimensions of a plant community. We use it to simulate the growth of a tropical savanna near the city of ...

Coupling soil water and shoot dynamics in three grass species: A spatial stochastic model on water competition in Neotropical savanna
(Ecological Modelling 220: 2734 - 2743, 2009-10-24)
Savannas are ecosystems known for their high environmental and economic value. They cover at least 20% of the global land surface and, in some cases, can act as a boundary between tropical rainforest and deserts.Water is ...

Fire in neotripical savannas
(Encyclopedia of life support systems (EOLSS), developed under the auspices of the UNESCO, EOLSS publishers, Oxford ,UK, [http://www.eolss.net], 2007)
This chapter reviews the main characteristics of tropical savannas and their interactions with fire, a main factor involved in the dynamics of these ecosystems. Burning in savannas generally takes place by the end of the ...

Increase in the woody component of seasonal savannas under different fire regimes in Calabozo, Venezuela
(SABER ULA, 2005-06-27)
Abstract
Aim We tested the hypothesis that exclusion from fire and cattle is responsible for the increase in tree cover in open savanna vegetation.
Location Four plots in open savanna vegetation from the Calabozo region ...
