TL;DR: It is shown that campo rupestre is fully comparable to and remarkably convergent with both fynbos and kwongkan, and fulfills the criteria for a classic OCBIL.

TL;DR: The concept of "old growth" was introduced by as mentioned in this paper to encompass the distinct ecologies and conservation values of the world's ancient grass-dominated biomes, which has the potential to improve scientific understanding, conservation policies and ecosystem management.

TL;DR: The CSR strategies of vascular plants can be compared quantitatively within and between biomes at the global scale and the strategy–environment relationships it elucidates will help to predict which kinds of species may assemble in response to changes in biogeochemical cycles, climate and land use.

TL;DR: The authors showed that the World Resources Institute and the International Union for Conservation of Nature misidentified 9 million square kilometers of ancient grassy biomes as providing "Opportunities" for forest restoration.

TL;DR: Highland grassland in Brazil is considered a forest landscape restoration opportunity and tree planting, fire suppression, and exclusion of megafaunal herbivores (native or domestic) are ecologically reasonable restoration strategies in deforested landscapes.
