Humus profiles and successional development in a rock savanna : a 1 micromorphological approach pointing to fire as a disturbance event 2 ( Nouragues inselberg , French Guiana
1 2 The common development of vegetation and soil is a central question of plant succession. We 3 asked whether places where aerial parts of woody vegetation die and accumulate on the 4 ground (zones of destruction or 'micro-chablis') played a role in the successional 5 development of vegetation patches on tropical inselbergs and whether causes could be 6 inferred from the analysis of the organ...

19 20 The census of vascular plants across a ten-year interval (1995-2005) at the fringe of a 21 neotropical rainforest (Nouragues inselberg, French Guiana, South America) revealed that 22 species richness decreased, both at quadrat scale (2 m 2 ) and at the scale of the inselberg (three 23 transects, embracing the whole variation in community composition). Juvenile stages of all 24 tree and sh...
متن کاملVariations in dung beetles assemblages (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) within two rain forest habitats in French Guiana.
The structure of dung beetle communities inhabiting tropical forests are known to be sensitive to many kinds of environmental changes such as microclimate related to vegetation structure. I examined Scarabaeinae assemblages in two sites of undisturbed high forest and two sites of low forest forming a transitional zone with the open habitat of an inselberg in French Guiana. Sampling was made wit...
متن کاملA new species of Charinus Simon, 1892 (Amblypygi, Charinidae) from termite nests in French Guiana.
The genus Charinus is represented by 51 species, distributed in all tropical regions. Their small size allows them to use a wide range of micro-habitats, from caves, litter to insect nests. The new species C. sillami sp. nov. was found into termite nests of three different species: Neocapritermes taracua, Spinitermes sp. and Embiratermes neotenicus. Only Paracharon caecus (Paleoamblypygi: Parac...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Rhizobium mesoamericanum STM3625, a Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiont of Mimosa pudica Isolated in French Guiana (South America)
Rhizobium mesoamericanum STM3625 is a Mimosa pudica symbiont isolated in French Guiana. This strain serves as a model bacterium for comparison of adaptation to mutualism (symbiotic traits, bacterial genetic programs for plant infection) between alpha and beta rhizobial symbionts of Mimosa pudica.
