A.  aObservations on woody vegetation types in the Pantanal and Corumba, Brazil.  c1988  aStudies of cerrado, cerradao and deciduous (or semideciduous) forest vegetation were made in cordilheiras and capoes in the Nhecolandia subarea of the Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, and in the north Pantanal, near Pocone, Mato Grosso. Point-centred quarter transects were used to analyse the vegetation and the results are given in Tables 1-7. The cerradoes belongto the mesotropic type widespread in Central Brazil, while the cerrado is related to this but shows characteristics of cerrado of damper habitats. The forests are similar to the deciduous and semideciduous forests of Central Brazil. Soil analyses show levels of mineral and pH typical of these vegetation types (Table 10). An area of deciduous forest was studied on a calcareous hill at Corumba, Mato Grossodo Sul (Tables 8 & 9). The vegetation is closely related to the Caatinga of NE Brazil, and the possibility that such vegetation may have been very much more widespread in the past is discussed.  aPantanal  avegetation  aFlora  aVegetação  aCorumba1 aPOTT, A.1 aPOTT, V.
