Resumo

As invasões biológicas estão entre as principais ameaças à biodiversidade e conservação de ecossistemas no mundo. As invasões por plantas podem alterar as propriedades do material combustível, afetando o comportamento do fogo e, consequentemente, o regime de queima por meio de mudanças na sua frequência, época, intensidade, severidade, tipo e extensão. No Brasil, várias espécies de gramíneas africanas tornaram-se invasoras dos Cerrados, onde o fogo é um fator ecológico importante e está presente há pelo menos 10 milhões de anos. Pretendemos aqui discutir as implicações da presença de gramíneas invasoras no comportamento do fogo e regime de queima, reunindo as informações existentes até o momento e incluindo alguns resultados de nossos experimentos com queimadas controladas em área invadida por gramíneas africanas na Reserva Natural Serra do Tombador (Goiás). Com isso, buscamos levantar informações para discutir e subsidiar um manejo integrado do fogo em ambientes de Cerrado.
