UPPER LAND

THICK SAVANNAH
The vegetation of the thick savannah grows to a height of 6 to 12 meters, with a density that allows sunlight to reach the soil. Plants typical to this ecosystem include (using local and Latin names):
Aroeira - Myracrodruon urundeuva, Timbó - Magonia pubescens, Gonçalo - Astronium fraxinifolium, Carvão - Callisthene fasciculata, Ipê-de-folha-larga - Tabebuia impetiginosa, Cipó-tripa-de-galinha - Bauhinia glabra.

SEMI-DECIDUOUS FORESTS
The semi-deciduous forest holds many large-diameter trees that reach 18 meters in height, creating a denser and shadier habitat than the savannah.

The typical plants found in these forests include:
Acuri - Scheelea phalerata (basic food for Hyacinth macaws ), Figueiras - Ficus spp, Manduvi - Sterculia striata, Mulateira - Albizia niopioides, Jatobá-mirim - Hymenaea courbaril, Olho-de-pomba - Diospyros obovota, Seputá - Salacia elliptica.

DECIDUOUS FORESTS
Deciduous forests, reaching about 20 meters in height, are less dense than semi-deciduous forest.

Typical plants to them are:
Carrapicho - Pisonia zapallo, Taiúva - Maclura tinctoria, Marmelada-de-cachorro - Alibertia sessilis, Cacto - Cereus peruvianus, Pitomba - Talisia esculenta, Castelo - Calycophyllum multiflorum e bromélias epífitas.

FLOODABLE FOREST

The height of the floodable forest varies, as does the composition of its vegetation, depending upon soil type and floodconditions. It height ranges from 6 to 12 meters. Tree diameter is smaller than in the dry forest, but this forest is denser, with well-developed undergrowth, which sometimes prevents light from reaching the soil.


In clayish soil we find:
 Cambará - Vochysia divergens, Roncador - Mouriri guianensis, Bacupari - Rheedia Braziliensis, Caneleira - Ocotea suaveolens, Canafístula - Cassia grandis, Leiteiro-de-tucano - Brosimum lactescens, Jenipapo - Genipa americana, Pau-d’óleo - Copaifera langsdorfii, Urumbamba - Desmoncus sp.

In sandy soil: Guanandi - Calophyllum Braziliense,
Pombeiro-preto - Combretum laxum, Cipó-de-quina - Gouania latifolia, Cachuá-vermelho - Trichilia catigua, Ingá - Inga urugüensis Pimenteira - Licania parvifolia (preferential substract for orchids.
