The natural vegetation in the highlands of the southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, is characterized by extensive grasslands in mosaics with Araucaria forests, usually under cattle grazing. Plant species diversity and endemism in these grasslands is high, though poorly recognized in conservation policy and the general public, and conversion rates into other land uses are high. In this paper, we give an overview of principal biological features of grassland vegetation in the South Brazilian highland region (plant species richness and diversity) and initiate a debate on conservation possibilities and challenges. We use data from four sites of the Long-Term Ecological Research program (LTER/PELD) Campos Sulinos situated in the high...
