Klima u Seradu je tipična za vlažnije [[savanna|savanske]] regione u svetu, sa poluvlažnom [[tropical climate|tropskom klimom]]. Seradu je ograničen na dve dominantne sezone tokom godine, vlažna i suva.

The Cerrado is characterized by unique vegetation types.<ref name=ratter/> It is composed of a shifting mosaic of habitats, with the savanna-like ''cerrado'' itself on well-drained areas between strips of gallery forest (closed canopy tall forest) which occur along streams.<ref name=vierra>{{cite journal |author1=Vierra, E.M. |author2=Marinho-Filho, J. |year=1998 |title=Pre- and post-fire habitat utilization by rodents of [the] Cerrado from central Brazil |journal=Biotropica |volume=30 |pages=491–496|doi=10.1111/j.1744-7429.1998.tb00086.x |s2cid=84400619 }}</ref><ref name=ratter/> Between the ''cerrado'' and the gallery forest is an area of vegetation known as the wet ''campo'' with distinct up- and downslope borders where tree growth is inhibited due to wide seasonal fluctuations in the water table.<ref name=ratter/><ref name=vierra/>

The savanna portion of the Cerrado is heterogeneous in terms of canopy cover. Goodland (1971)<ref name=goodland/> divided the Cerrado into four categories ranging from least to most canopy cover: ''campo sujo'' ([[herbaceous layer]] with occasional small trees about 3&nbsp;m tall), ''campo cerrado'' (slightly higher density of trees about 4&nbsp;m tall on average), ''cerrado sensu stricto'' (orchard-like vegetation with trees about 6&nbsp;m high) and ''[[cerradao|cerradão]]'' (canopy cover near 50% with general height 9&nbsp;m).<ref name=goodland>{{cite journal |author=Goodland, R. |year=1971 |title=A physiognomic analysis of the cerrado vegetation of central Brazil |journal=Journal of Ecology |volume=59 |issue=2 |pages=411–419|doi=10.2307/2258321 |jstor=2258321 }}</ref>

Probably around 800 species of trees are found in the Cerrado.<ref name=ratter/> Among the most diverse families of trees in the Cerrado are the [[Leguminosae]]&nbsp;(153 spp.), [[Malpighiaceae]]&nbsp;(46), [[Myrtaceae]]&nbsp;(43), [[Melastomataceae]]&nbsp;(32), and [[Rubiaceae]]&nbsp;(30).<ref name=herringer>{{cite conference |author1=Herringer, E.P. |author2=Barroso, G.M. |author3=Rizzo, J.A. |author4=Rizzini, C.T. |year=1977 |title=A Flora do Cerrado |language=pt |trans-title=On the plants of the Cerrado |editor=Ferri, M.G. |conference=IV SimpoUsio sobre o cerrado |place=São Paulo, BR |pages=211–232}}</ref> Much of the Cerrado is dominated by the [[Vochysiaceae]] (23&nbsp;species in the Cerrado) due to the abundance of three species in the genus ''[[Qualea]]''.<ref name=ratter/> The herbaceous layer usually reaches about 60&nbsp;cm in height and is composed mainly of the [[Poaceae]], [[Cyperaceae]], [[Leguminosae]], [[Compositae]], [[Myrtaceae]] and [[Rubiaceae]].<ref name=ratter/> Much of the vegetation in the gallery forests is similar to nearby rainforest; however, there are some endemic species found only in the Cerrado gallery forests.<ref name=ratter/>

Seradu je prostrani tropsko savanski ekoregion Brazila, posebno u državama Gojas, Mato Groso do Sul, Mato Groso, Tokantins, Minas Žerais i Savezni okrug. Sržna područja bioma Serada su visoravni u centru Brazila. Glavne tipovi staništa Seradua uključuju: šumsku savanu, žbunastu savana, savanski park i travnato-šumsku savanu. Takođe su obuhvaćena područja močvarne savane i galerijske šume.[2] Kao drugi po veličini tip brazilskog staništa, nakon Amazonske prašume, Seradu predstavlja čitavih 21 procenat kopnene površine zemlje (sežući u Paragvaj i Boliviju).[3]

Prvi detaljni pregled Brazilskog serada pružio je danski botaničar Eugenius Varming (1892) u knjizi Lagoa Santa,[4] u kojoj opisuje glavne karakteristike vegetacije seradua u državi Minas Žerais.[5]

Od tada ogromne količine istraživanja su dokazale da je Serado jedan od najbogatijih regiona od svih tropskih savana i da poseduje visok nivo endemizma. Karakterisan je ogromnim rasponom biljnog i životinjskog biodiverziteta. Svetska fondacija za prirodu ga je nazvala biološki najbogatijom savanom na svetu, sa oko 10.000 biljnih vrsta i 10 endemskih vrsta ptica.[3] U Seradu obitava skoro 200 vrsta sisara, mada je samo 14 endemsko.[3]

Klima

Klima u Seradu je tipična za vlažnije savanske regione u svetu, sa poluvlažnom tropskom klimom. Seradu je ograničen na dve dominantne sezone tokom godine, vlažna i suva. Godišnje temperature za Seradu su u proseku između 22 i 27 °C, a prosečne padavine između 800-2000 mm za preko 90% područja.[6] Ovaj ekoregion ima veoma jaku sušnu sezonu tokom južne zime (približno april-septembar).[6]

Flora

Fields of flowers in bloom during spring, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Goiás, Brazil

The Cerrado is characterized by unique vegetation types.[6] It is composed of a shifting mosaic of habitats, with the savanna-like cerrado itself on well-drained areas between strips of gallery forest (closed canopy tall forest) which occur along streams.[7][6] Between the cerrado and the gallery forest is an area of vegetation known as the wet campo with distinct up- and downslope borders where tree growth is inhibited due to wide seasonal fluctuations in the water table.[6][7]

The savanna portion of the Cerrado is heterogeneous in terms of canopy cover. Goodland (1971)[8] divided the Cerrado into four categories ranging from least to most canopy cover: campo sujo (herbaceous layer with occasional small trees about 3 m tall), campo cerrado (slightly higher density of trees about 4 m tall on average), cerrado sensu stricto (orchard-like vegetation with trees about 6 m high) and cerradão (canopy cover near 50% with general height 9 m).[8]

Probably around 800 species of trees are found in the Cerrado.[6] Among the most diverse families of trees in the Cerrado are the Leguminosae (153 spp.), Malpighiaceae (46), Myrtaceae (43), Melastomataceae (32), and Rubiaceae (30).[9] Much of the Cerrado is dominated by the Vochysiaceae (23 species in the Cerrado) due to the abundance of three species in the genus Qualea.[6] The herbaceous layer usually reaches about 60 cm in height and is composed mainly of the Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Leguminosae, Compositae, Myrtaceae and Rubiaceae.[6] Much of the vegetation in the gallery forests is similar to nearby rainforest; however, there are some endemic species found only in the Cerrado gallery forests.[6]

Soil fertility, fire regime and hydrology are thought to be most influential in determining Cerrado vegetation. Cerrado soils are always well-drained and most are oxisols with low pH and low calcium and magnesium.[6][10] The amount of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus has been found to be positively correlated with tree trunk basal area in Cerrado habitats.[11] Much as in other grasslands and savannas, fire is important in maintaining and shaping the Cerrado's landscape; many plants in the Cerrado are fire-adapted, exhibiting characters like thick corky bark to withstand the heat.[6]

Cerrado vegetation is believed to be ancient, stretching back perhaps as far in a prototypic form as the Cretaceous, before Africa and South America separated.[12] A dynamic expansion and contraction between cerrado and Amazonian rainforest has probably occurred historically, with expansion of the Cerrado during glacial periods like the Pleistocene.[13] These processes and the resulting fragmentation in multiple refugia have probably contributed to the high species richness both of the Cerrado and of the Amazonian rainforest.[6]

Fauna

The frog species Physalaemus nattereri (posterior view shown) is found in the open cerrado, but not in adjacent gallery forests[14]

The Cerrado has a high diversity of vertebrates, with 150 amphibian species, 120 reptile species, 837 bird species, and 161 mammal species recorded.[15] Lizard diversity is generally thought to be relatively low in the Cerrado compared to other areas like caatinga or lowland rainforest[16] although one recent study found 57 species in one cerrado area with the high diversity driven by the availability of open habitat.[17] Ameiva ameiva is among the largest lizards found in the Cerrado and is the most important lizard predator where it is found in the Cerrado.[16] There is a relatively high diversity of snakes in the Cerrado (22–61 species, depending on site) with Colubridae being the richest family.[18] The open nature of the cerrado vegetation most likely contributes to the high diversity of snakes.[18] Information about Cerrado amphibians is extremely limited, although the Cerrado probably has a unique assemblage of species with some endemic to the region.[14]
