Campo sujo

Mg ha i) in a cerrado sensu stricto. In the campo limpo, which is devoid of trees, the aerial biomass (5 5 Mg ha i) amounted to only 34% of the root biomass (16.3 Mg ha ) in the top 2 m of soil. This proportion was 31% in the campo sujo with its sparse distribution of trees and 47.9 to 53 3 in the cerrado sensu stricto. Thus the different cerrado vegetation types showed a higher root/shoot ratio than many tropical forests.

Sp and Sg were estimated, respectively, from values of aboveground biomass of "campo sujo and "campo limpo" found by Kauffman et al. (1994), for a region of closed savanna near Brasilia. Value for Sp was extrapolated for Tp type. Biomass of roots was estimated assuming the value of 1.6 for the root/stem ratio adopted by Schroeder and Winjum (1995) for vegetation in the savanna/grassland class.
