“…More recently, iron, gemstones, ornamental stones, sand, and plant extraction become part of the local economy (Neves et al 2016). Fire is still used as traditional land management to suppress native vegetation and support for the introduction of invasive monotypic species, such as molasses grass and fern (Almada et al 2016;Mucida et al 2019;Santos et al 2021). The region is heavily dependent on government aid, pensions, and seasonal migrations.…”

“…The species occurs in quartzitic campos rupestres, mainly on rocky outcrops at elevations between 867 and 1238 m (see Figures 2A-C, 3A,B). The campos rupestres are characterised by poor soils and harsh climate conditions (Almada et al, 2016;Fernandes et al, 2020). Recorded with flowers in July and fruits in December, January and July.…”

“…In the Brazilian biomes, biocultural diversity refers to the interdependence between biological and cultural diversity, indicating how significant sets of biological diversity are managed, conserved, and created by different cultural groups (including indigenous and other traditional communities) [31]. Current research in Historical Ecology and correlated fields have revealed interconnections between culture and biodiversity in the Amazon [32,33], Atlantic Forest [34][35][36][37], Caatinga [38,39], Cerrado [40][41][42], Pampa [43,44], and Pantanal [45,46]. Historically informed environmental investigation coupled with cross-disciplinary conceptual frameworks (such as biocultural diversity, social-ecological systems, and novel ecosystems) are key to understand current landscape dynamics and help inform decision-making [36].…”
