(Ca*10 km due S of Royal Society- Royal Geographic Society Base Camp. Base Camp is at 12°51’S. 51°45’W.) Alt. ca. 450 m. Along path R-U at 4-*5 km S of "Airatrip Campo”. 2 Oct 1968 (Area of 10 km radius around Base Camp Is situated on crest of the Serra do Roncador, a gently-sloped divide between Xlngu drainage (via Rio Sul6 Migu) to west end Aragufiia drainage (via Rio das Mortes) to east. The yet undirected few-km wide crest Is flat or gently rolling with a few low lateritic scarps ridges. Brook valleys with very gentle to moderately steep slopes. Base r«mn area Is exactly at climatic boundary between Amazonian forest region »nH central Brazil “cerrado” region (savanna sens. lat.). North-western h«l* of area Is covered with the outer edge of the continuous Amazonian forest, here a slightly semlde- clduous dry mesophytlc forest 15-18 m tall on the upland, taller along the seasonally dry brooks. Southeastern half of area has, on the upland, xeromorphlc semldeclduous cerrado, In the form of medium-tall open scrub or tree-and-scrub woodland, with evergreen gallery forests 20-30 m tall along the permanent brooks. Usually a band of seasonally marshy grassy campo, a few meters to a few tens of meters wide, borders the gallery forests, separating them from the cerrado, but where the campo Is lacking, the cerrado grades directly Into gallery forest through a narrow band of Its arboreal form, “cerradfio”. The campos usually have scattered circular groves of cerrado scrub several meters In diameter on slightly raised soil, each with a termite mound. On the upland the cerrado region grades Into the continuous dry forest region through a few-km wide «»cotone of cerradfio. Underlying rock is various kinds of sandstone, giving rise to slightly clayey fine-sandy deep latosols, sterile and reddish or yellowish-tan with almost no humus on upland under cerrado, and dark red with more clay under dry forest. In restricted areas under cerrado, small laterlte blocks or quartz pebbles may form a thin permeable subsurface layer, or the upper soil layer may be purely of laterlte pebbles. Valley soils are deep light gray fine sand with little or no clay, sterile on drier upper slopes, black with humus in upper layer on molster or soaking lower slopes and floors. Shales underlie soils in a few valleys At this date the Base Camp region has not yet been settled; the forests are virgin- the cerrado and campo are uncut and ungrazed, but have been subjected to ground fires set by Indians every 3-6 years. In the cerrado, these infrequent fire« temporarily reduce density of the lower shrubs but otherwise have no effect on the physiognomy.) Habitat of this n.°: gallery forest along stream golly.
