Guia fenológico ilustrado de plantas nativas campestres: Ornamentação e Restauração no Pampa

Abstract

Knowledge of the phenology of native plant species is important for vegetation management, ecological restoration, and the use of native plants in landscaping. In this study, we present an illustrated phenological guide to grassland species from South-Brazilian Pampa grassland. The guide is based on data from a phenological survey carried out over a full year in native grassland areas under grazing in Eldorado do Sul, RS, Brazil. Our aim is to make phenological knowledge of native plants easily available and illustrate the plants with photos, thus emphasizing their ornamental value.
