Fire in the cerrado (savannas) of Brazil: an ecological review

Jayalaxshmi Mistry

Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK

Fire is a major determinant of cerrado (savanna) vegetation in Brazil, and is used as a management tool during the dry season. This has consequently induced a long history of fire studies in the region. This article reviews past and present fire ecology studies in the cerrado, and emphasizes the need for a more applied approach to future work.

Key Words: fire • cerrado • Brazil • savanna
