Emphasis is on the adaptational features of plants in relation to their physical environment, in particular climate, soil conditions and fire. Further, we discuss the utility to humans of cerrado plants, the influence of man upon this ecosystem, and confront some of the problems associated with conservation politics.</p> 41 <p class="ind_cont">Preface</p> 42 <p class="ind_cont">Map with Major Localities Cited in the Text</p> 43 <ol> 44 <li>Introduction</li> 45 <li>Definition of Cerrado and Distinction From Other Vegetation Types</li> 46 <li>Geographical Location and Extension of the Cerrado Biome</li> 47 <li>Geology, Geomorphology, Paleoclimate, Paleoecological Changes and Origin of Cerrado</li> 48 <li>Climate</li> 49 <li>Soil Properties and Soil, Vegetation and Plant Relationships</li> 50 <li>Vegetation Physiognomy</li> 51 <li>Other Vegetation Types in the Cerrado Region and Transitional Forms</li> 52 <li>The Origin of the Cerrado Flora</li> 53 <li>Floristic Diversity and Community Structure</li> 54 <li>Plant Physiognomy, Life Forms, Growth Forms and Underground Organs</li> 55 <li>Tree Age, Growth Rate and Growth Rhythm</li> 56 <li>Water Balance, Nutrient Availability, and Xeromorphic and Scleromorphic Features of Cerrado Plants</li> 57 <li>Fire and its Influence on Plants and Vegetation</li> 58 <li>Frost and its Effects on Species Distribution in the Southern Cerrado Region</li> 59 <li>Seasonality and Vegetation Rhythm</li> 60 <li>Seed Germination, Seedling Establishment and Cerrado Regeneration Capacity</li> 61 <li>Utility of Cerrado Plants and their Economic Potential</li> 62 <li>Transformation of Cerrado into Cropland and Pasture, Environmental Consequences and Influence on Soil Dynamics</li> 63 <li>Amerindians and Cerrado</li> 64 <li>Importance and Future of Cerrado</li> 65 </ol> 66 <p class="ind_cont">References</p> 67 <p class="ind_cont">General Index</p> 68 <p class="ind_cont">Index of Plant Names</p> 69 70 <h4>Vol. II - Pollination and Seed Dispersal</h4> 71 <p>In the second volume, pollination and seed dispersal phenomena are described, and emphasis placed on how these processes, essentially plant-animal interrelationships, are critical to the maintenance and regeneration of this ecosystem.</p> 72 <ol> 73 <li>Introduction</li> 74 <li>Events and Processes Leading to Reproduction and Seed Formation</li> 75 <li>Generalist Insect-Pollinated Species Usually Having Bees as Principal Visitors of Day-Active Flowers 76 <ol> 77 <li>Generalist Flowers Having a Greater Beetle Component</li> 78 <li>Generalist Flowers Having an Occasional Beetle Component</li> 79 </ol></li> 80 <li>Pollen-Flowers in Dilleniaceae, Clusiaceae, Myrtaceae and Mimosaceae</li> 81 <li>Species Pollinated by Small and Medium-Sized Bees 82 <ol> 83 <li>Choripetalous Open or Partially Constricted Nectar-Flowers</li> 84 <li>Choripetalous Open Pollen-Flowers</li> 85 <li>Choripetalous Papilionoid Nectar-Flowers</li> 86 <li>Sympetalous Actinomorphic or Zygomorphic Nectar-Flowers</li> 87 <li>Flowers with Explosive Release of Pollen</li> 88 <li>Pollination by Resin-Collecting Bees</li> 89 </ol></li> 90 <li>Species with Nectar-Flowers Pollinated by Large Bees 91 <ol> 92 <li>Choripetalous Actinomorphic or Zygomorphic Flowers</li> 93 <li>Choripetalous Papilionoid Flowers</li> 94 <li>Sympetalous Flowers</li> 95 </ol></li> 96 <li>Floral Ecology of Bee-Pollinated Bignoniaceae</li> 97 <li>Superimposed Pollination Systems in <em>Jacaranda</em></li> 98 <li><em>Oxaea flavescens</em>: Nectar Robber or Pollinator?</li> 99 <li>Buzz Pollination in Pollen-Flowers Having Poricidal Anthers 100 <ol> 101 <li>Pollination of <em>
