Fossil records indicate the Neotropical Dry Forests had a more
continuous distribution in the recent geological past, especially
in the late Pleistocene, more precisely at the end of the last
glacial period. Seasonal Deciduous Forests are remnants of a
broader continuous distribution that was present in the past,
ranging from North-Eastern Brazil to Argentina in the Pleistocene
dry period. This currently fragmented structure is the result of
the dry, cold climate that caused the retraction of Wet Forests to
riversides and the spread of seasonal forests. This book discusses
the ecology, species diversity and sustainable management of dry
forests. The topics include a biogeographical overview of the
"lianescent clade" of violaceae in the Neotropical region;
diversity and distribution of hymenoptera aculeate in mid-western
Brazilian dry forests; the Brazilian "caatinga"; changes in the
labile and recalcitrant organic matter fractions due to
transformation of semi-deciduous dry tropical forest to pasture in
the western llanos, Venezuela; ecology and management of the dry
forests and savannas of the western Chaco region, Argentina;
predicting pasture security in rangeland districts of Kenya using 1
km resolution spot vegetation sensor ndvi data.
