Bioma Pampa

An unprecedented study conducted by Brazilian researchers from EMBRAPA/NIST-EngBio revealed the diversity of microorganisms associated with the soil, roots and rhizosphere of plants in the Jardim de Maytrea, in the Pampa. The work, one of the most comprehensive ever conducted in the region, identified bacteria and archaea that may have applications in biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, resilience and environmental conservation.

The samples were collected at different locations and during various seasons of the year, including native grassland species and plants adapted to periodic droughts and temperature fluctuations. The data can serve as a basis for research into bioinputs, restoration of degraded grasslands, and the adaptation of crops to climate change. The Pampa, characterized by its vast plains, temperate climate, and fertile but erosion-prone soils, is home to plant species with adaptive strategies suited to open environments and seasonal variability.
