Madagascar Grass Atlas
Madagascar has a unique heritage in terms of biodiversity. Its separation from Africa set the backdrop for the unique evolution of its flora and fauna. Its isolated island nature gave rise to high endemism and explosive speciation. Of its estimated 12,000 vascular plant species, 83% are unique to Madagascar (Madagascar... -

Fire and grazing determined grasslands of central Madagascar represent ancient assemblages.
The ecology of Madagascar's grasslands is under-investigated and the dearth of ecological understanding of how disturbance by fire and grazing shapes these grasslands stems from a perception that disturbance shaped Malagasy grasslands only after human arrival. However, worldwide, fire and grazing shape tropical grasslands over ecological and evolutionary timescales, and... -

The rise of grasslands is linked to atmospheric CO2 decline in the late Palaeogene.
Grasslands are predicted to experience a major biodiversity change by the year 2100. A better understanding of how grasslands have responded to past environmental changes will help predict the outcome of current and future environmental changes. Here, we explore the relationship between past atmospheric CO and temperature fluctuations and the...Palazzesi, Luis ; Hidalgo, Oriane ; Barreda, Viviana D. ; Forest, Félix ; Höhna, Sebastian
