Lowland deciduous forest & sclerophyllous woodland geocomplex. 1. Deciduous woodland: Machaerium acutifolium-Myracruodruon urundeuva community (“Cerradão). Low forest on hillsides stony soils (ferric regosols). 2 Non flooded savanna (“Cerrado rupestre”, “Campo rupestre”). Edaphoxerophyllous communities on mountaintops with rocky soils (lithic and ferric regosols). 3. Deciduous Forest: Machaerium scleroxylon-Schinopsis brasiliensis community. Tall dry deciduous to semideciduous fores. Deep well drained soils (ferralsols, cambisols). 4. Evergreen seasonal flooded forest: Cariniana ianeirensis-Vitex cymosa community. Poorly drained floodable soils on valley bottom (fluvisols, gleysols). 5. Evergreen seasonal riparian forest: Lonchocarpus pluvialis-Inga nobilis community. Seasonally flooded (fluvisols) with flowing waters (lotic). Fluvisols. 6. Evergreen seasonal sclerophyllous woodland-savanna (“Cerrado”): Salvertia convalliodora-Caryocar brasiliense community, with Priogymnanthus hasslerianus. Dystrophic lateritic well-drained soils (plinthosols, ferralsols, acrisols). 7. Flooded open arboreal savanna: Genipa americana-Tabebuia heptaphylla community. Hummocky dystrophic seasonally ponded soils (estagnosols). 8. Flooded herbaceous savanna: Schizachyrium microstachyum-Sorghastrum setosum community on oligotrophic stagnosols; and associated aquatic/ hidrophylic vegetation. 9. Evergreen seasonal sclerophyllous woodland on poorly drained soils: Tabebuia heptaphylla-Callisthene fasciculata community. 10. Inselberg saxicolous vegetation: Sapium argutum-Commiphora leptophloeos community. Leptic regosols on cristaline precambric rocks (gneiss and granites). Graphic geobotanical interpretation based on cited references, our own field data (Concepción to San Antonio de Lomerío transects) and Google Earth images.
