摘要: Background: Inselbergs are known to influence vegetation patterns worldwide. In extra-tropical areas, opposing slopes of inselbergs have different exposures solar radiation; for example, in southern South America, north-facing more exposed radiation than south-facing slopes, both terms angle and period incidence.Aims: We aim verify whether species diversity composition trait convergence divergence woody plant communities associated with differences the relative intercepted by inselbergs.Methods: estimated seven Brazilian Pampa, applying hill shading estimation (HSE) a digital elevation model. recorded individuals diameter at breast height ≥5 cm 13 plots placed on north- slopes. tested association HSE....
