The savanna form concerns mainly the structure and physiognomy
of a particular type of vegetation.
Great Plateau
The large plateau that occupies the Brazilian central highlands
extends itself through the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais
and portions of the states of Tocantins, Mato Grosso and South
Mato Grosso. These five states contain around 77% of allCerrado
in Brazil.
Regional Name
The large plateau that occupies the Brazilian central highlands
extends itself through the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais
and portions of the states of Tocantins, Mato Grosso and South
Mato Grosso. These five states contain around 77% of all "cerrado" in
Brazil.
Landscape
TheCerrado landscape is that where this kind of vegetation predominates
but is not exclusive, being intercepted by other vegetation types,
as define Bourliere & Hadley in "Present - day savannas:
an overview", in "Tropical Savannas", 1983.
